a sometimes fatal game played between a pedestrian and an automobile. the goal is for the pedestrian to successfully cross the street at his or her own pace w/o regard for traffic flow. the pedestrian always starts the game by stepping from the curb into traffic and daring cars to either slow down or hit them. the pedestrian often shows signs of defiance, confidence, and bravado as he/she is meandering across the street.
If you want an example, just drive down the nearest road and some idiot will step off the curb and into your path. It's human nature to want to avoid hitting someone with a car so the pedestrian typically makes it across the road w/o a scratch. However, it is fun to sometimes challenge the pedestrian's athletic ability and speed up as you're approaching them. Hitting the pedestrian is not recommended but scaring the shit out of them is highly rewarding.
An exchange after a game of Curb Chicken might go like this:
Boss, "Good morning. How was the drive to work?"
Me: "Some asshole played curb chicken with me and I damn near hit him."

All About Curry Powder/Curry Chicken
Turmeric, fenugreek, cardamom....sound like Latin to you? They should actually sound like Indian because all are components of curry powder. Along with cumin, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, dill seed, horseradish, mustard, nutmeg, the list could go on and on. Some curry powders are made up of as many as 30 herbs and spices while others may be as simple as four or five ingredients. The average blend combines 15. In India, each family has their own recipe which is ground daily or, at least, very frequently. The Spice Man will come around with a wide array of whole herbs and spices, the cook chooses the one he/she desires and the Spice Man will grind it for them right there.
Curry powder is often thought of as hot and spicy but because of the various recipes, some are more mild. Since typical ingredients are the fragrant spices, it is usually highly aromatic with a warm, bitter taste. The common yellow color is derived from turmeric, the primary ingredient. If you like your curries hot, look for Madras curry powder.
The word curry takes on a more generic meaning when referring to any dish seasoned with curry powder. This is often a stir-fry-type entree that is served with rice, preferably Basmati, and an assortment of condiments such as chutney, coconut, raisins and nuts. Another curry reference may occur in the form of curry paste or sauce that can be purchased already prepared.
True curry powder aficionados will make their own, buying the spices whole and grinding them in either a spice grinder or coffee grinder. If you aren’t that dedicated, experiment with different brands, they vary wildly, until you find one you really like. Be sure to store curry powder in a dark, glass jar since turmeric will discolor when exposed to light and it has been known to “melt” plastic containers.
