I love taking the train to work; it’s not just a smooth ride, but I also use the time to train on my presentation for the big meeting!

Train Whistle 

Train Whistle — the new “dog whistle”. The current idiom “saying the quiet part out loud” points to the idea that a new term must be used to discuss impolite political discourse. Dogs can her at a frequency that humans cannot; so, the old idiom “dog whistle” pointed to a subtle statement.

Well, in 2023, both irony and subtlety are dead hence the new term “Train Whistle. If you can’t hear you are deaf.

Visiting insurrection prisoners on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the Waco Texas standoff; scheduling a Republican Presidential rally in Waco Texas on the anniversary; and Trump’s proclamation that he is “THE RETRIBUTION” of the Republican Party and MAGA; Trump’s threatening doom and destruction if indicted — this — collectively — isn’t a dog whistle it’s a Train Whistle.

It’s in your face; and, there is no more “quite part” to say out loud. IT’S ALL OUT LOUD IN THE RANGE OF HUMAN HEARING!!!!!!

train mong

People who travel on trains and are utterly oblivious to anyone or anything in their immediate vicinity. They annoy all the time just by being in the same carriage and frankly should be culled.

Who the fuck is making all the noise licking crisp salts off their fingers? Oh yea, it's another fucking train mong.

train of thought 

Similar to the subway of unconsciousness and the airplane of logic, the train of thought is used to casually describe one's thought process. It is usually lost, sometimes derailed, frequently hijacked, and has been known to reverse course. Also, the train of thought is never stated to have a beginning or an end, and it is unknown whether there are any passengers on board.

Dang it, I lost my train of thought again.

train bashing 

A bit like train spotting or train photting, but with the aim of actually travelling behind your favourite type of traction for as many miles as possible rather than taking numbers/photographs

I went train bashing the other day from Birmingham to Bristol behind a duff.
