Soft Brake Check

The act of hitting the brake pedal lightly so that the brake lights come on although there's no brake action.

Usually used to get tailgaters to chill out.

That asshole was tailgating me so I gave him a soft brake check to get him to stop being an impatient idiot and let me finish my overtake.

stripes over checks

When someone prefers the brand Adidas over Nike. Adidas is commonly known as 'the brand with three stripes' given that most logos contain 3 oblique stripes, while Nike is known for its 'swoosh' logo which looks like a check mark.

Brandon: 'Yo, I got you this really cool Adidas sweatshirt for your birthday!'
Chad: 'Thanks man, you know I'm all about stripes over checks!'

Phineas: "I believe those are fighting words. Let's take this outside. I'm going to slap you silly with my pocket protector!"
Isaac: "I suggest you check yo self before you wreck yo self. I've got three of my chess club buddies backing me up and one of them takes taekwondo!"
