Nerb: the act of adding more tension to a taut rope, by pulling perpendicular to the rope
Noun: the rope which one bowstrings
Noun: the rope which one bowstrings
a stunt coordinator asked me to bowstring the line coming out of the performer flying hoist
(and I knew exactly what to do even though I hadn’t heard the term before.)
usually used to adjust, in fine degrees, a performers body position, height, etc. when flying, where it is only a fine adjustment or reaction, rather than a new mark that would involve a rope mark change. A quick and easy way to make changes without rerigging a set mark.

The stolen cars are usually muscle cars, import and domestic street cars, donks and cars of luxury or high trade in value. This practice is very common in cities with many "Chop Shops" such as: Oakland, Detroit, St. Louis, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
The phrase was made known by the movie "Fast and the Furious" (2001) when Dominic (Vin Diesel) finds out Brian (Paul Walker) was incarcerated for "Boosting Cars".

Get the Boosting Cars mug.When in a race (normally from a roll) The operator of a "boosted" (turbocharged) car does a tricky maneuver involving applying brakes then adding in throttle to add more brake smoothly to eventually cause the engine to load up spooling the turbine creating boost/power while maintaining a constant rpm/speed so that when the driver lets off the brakes the car takes off like a bullet.
The car on the left brake boosted on that race.... didn't you hear the turbo spooling before they went?
