Mexican brake job

If your vehicle develops a brake line leak, the act of merely adding additional brake fluid after the pedal starts to go soft, instead of making proper repairs.

We were so wasted in Cabo that I didn't realize we needed to give the car a Mexican brake job before starting the drive home -- I nearly rear-ended several cars!

Hand brake

In football, play less than to one's potential, due to self inflicted obstacles. Be less free and flowing than usual, due to some psychological block.
Term introduced, and used constantly, by Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger (who also introduced several other terms, as "footballistically", and others.

"I believe in the first half we were not sharp enough, we played a lil bit wiz de hand brake, and we didn't create many chances".

Human E Brake

Also known as the Human Emergency Brake. Someone who takes the wind out of the proverbial sails. Found on any sort of conversation thread (Facebook, message boards, etc), they are the one who always has the last comment. This is because they abruptly bring the conversation to a screeching halt with boring, lame, unfunny, or inappropriate comments. Or because they are just generally disliked by others and nobody wants to engage them in further discussions.

We were having a funny conversation on my Facebook page and then Jonny, the Human E Brake, chimed in and the whole thread just died a miserable death.

day brake

it means when you have a lot of things to do and you just stop and put everything on hold and take a nap instead.

I have to study for my chem final and I got over-due homework I have to finish. I'll just take a day brake .

exhaust brake

A flap in the exhaust just after the turbo that the drive can engage manually to slow down the exhaust gas flow, thus slowing the engine down and in turn, slowing the transmission and drivetrain down, to assist the actual brakes.

The brakes started to fade when we were tankin it down the estate so I flipped the exhaust brake on so I could get round the corner without rolling the truck over on to the orphanage.
