going to the races

1. Going to the races means that you are in a really big hurry to get somewhere. Like you got the lead out, hit the gas, got a move on, put it into overdrive, sped up, etc...

Tina and I sat behind this guy who was texting on his phone at the stop light, the light turned green, and Tina yelled out the window to him that it doesn't get any greener! Then the dude was ballsy enough to flip her off after he finally gassed it like he was going to the races. What a jerk-wad! Tina was pissed.

racesplaining

Lecturing a white person, typically male, about how much alleged privilege they have over the other races and how they are still allegedly responsible for oppressing those other races today.

SJW: Wow this Doctor Who season 11 is great! I loved the Rosa Parks episode and the one on the apartheid in India!
White Man: I hate how they have taken an innocent and entertaining sci fi show and injected a bunch of politically correct social-engineering messages and are hitting me over the head with them every single episode, I am sick of all of the racesplaining!

racer

In politics, a racer is a believer in the big evil conspiracy of tea partiers, conservatives, libertarians, and moderates who disagree with the policies of Barrack Obama and/or seek freer market solutions to economic problems (supposedly a well hidden conspiracy, since you won't hear/see any evidence of this at a typical tea party event). The conspiracy is basically that this ideology is all, mostly, or centrally revolving around race, rather than economic policy (which they actually talk about on a regular and primary basis).

Racers' supposed evidence includes:
1) The president is black, so if you disagree with him you must be a white racist.
2) There are a lot of white people at tea party events (although more blacks and latinos than, say, a Green Day concert or a G20 protest, drawing great speculation on those groups' obviously racist roots).
3) ???
4) Profit. (Dismissal of rational and historically/economically astute argument.)

Origins: Much like other single-issue 21st century political conspiracy theories, the word is a conjunction of a single theme or platitude with "er." Like "truther" (9/11 truth conspiracy theorist) "birther" (Obama birth certificate conspiracy theorist) and "deather" (Bin Laden death conspiracy theorist), we now have "racer" (tea party race conspiracy theorist).

Contessa Brewer of MSNBC ranted about a man at a tea party event with an AR-15 slung over his shoulder, tying it into dangerous white racism and saying it's because there's a black man in the white house. It was while airing a video of the man edited (cropped) to not show his face or hands.. and as it turns out the man was black, and like most tea partiers not dangerous and not very concerned about the race of the president. ... Contessa Brewer is definitely a racer.

cafe racer

In the 1960's, A British cruiser type motorcycle (BSA, Triumph, Norton, Etc.) that has been modified for speed and maneuverability on city streets by lowering the frame, souping up the engine, adding a small fairing or small windscreen, Etc. These bikes were street-raced from one cafe to another, and from various cafes (Particularly the ACE Cafe) to London Bridge and back.

This is a complementary term that is still used today to denote any cruiser style motorcycle (But NOT a crotch-rocket street bike!) with the same characteristics.
