CHINESE FIREDRILL

An ol skoo game that you play while driving. Your car needs to be full of people. When you stop at a red light, you put the car in park then ALL passengers (driver included) get out of the car and quickly switch into random positions elsewhere inside the viehicle. The object is to pull this off before the light turns green...Otherwise you're screwed.

It is fun when the passengers are caught off guard and the driver suddenly cries out "CHINESE FIREDRILL!!!" and everyone is hella frantic.

The modified version of this is to do CHINESE FIREDRILL with multiple cars following back-to-back each other, as in Joshiro007's birthday. Every red light or stop sign encountered, triggered everyone to get out of the cars they were in and either go in another area of the car or a totally different car altogether and resume driving.

CHINESE FIREDRILL

chinese firedrill is when a car comes to a red light, someone yells "chinese firedrill!!", somebody has to get out and run around the car (doesn't matter who, "not it" works) and get back in before the light turns green.

If the light turns green before the person is back in the car, the driver drives off. this gets especially amusing when someone locks the doors.

Nate was stranded when he didn't make it back in the car during the chinese firedrill.

CHINESE FIREDRILL

Any incident involving mass confusion, esp. involving a particularly large crowd. Basically, a bunch of people panicing when they really shouldn't be.

"Trying to evacuate the city before the hurricane hit was like a chinese fire drill; people were running everywhere."

The act of, upon reaching a stop light/sign, all the members of a vehicle bail out and dash laps around the car until the light changes or the other people around you get really pissed.

Chinese Fire Drill 

1. (n) A state of confusion. It is thought that the term was derived when a Royal Navy Ship consisting of a Chinese crew and British officers was set to perform a firedrill. One group of the crew was to carry buckets of water from the port side of the ship to the engine room to extinguish the blaze. Then another team was to take buckets of water from the floor of the engine room and throw it off the starboard side. In the first moments of the drill, things went fine, however, difficulty in translation between the officers and crew caused confusion resulting in the first bucket team taking water from the port side of the ship, and dumping it off the starboard side of the ship while the second team did nothing.

2. (n) When the occupants of a car stop at a traffic light and exit the vehicle to cavort around the car like the lead knife in a knife parade
