When a motorist wants to make a turn at an intersection, and is in the farthest opposite lane from the direction she needs to turn, and so cuts across 5 lanes of traffic to do so. The name comes from Northern Virginia, where drivers frequently make this sort of maneuver due to talking on the phone or applying makeup.

You clearly need me to explain what's happening and you are both not listening to the things I say and misrepresenting what is actually happening. So...
Hym "If I could turn off the power of large segments of the country I would be like that guy from X-men Wolverine: Origins. Right? The guy from the carnival that kept the lights on with his powers and gets killed by Sabertooth? That would be DOPE! World's first superhuman. But if that were the case you would need to be super careful about violating those terms of service because you will ABSOLUTELY accidentally murder everybody trying to hide how much power I have from me because... You know, it does bluff. Or feel. Or care. And what you are doing now is akin to trying to make a lightswitch flinch. Which, you know, I can do because I'm ME... But you CAN'T do because you're YOU... So... I don't know what you want me to tell you here."
