lock the hubs

"Lock the hubs" is motorist jargon for engaging four wheel drive. Older trucks & SUVs as well as some newer base model vehicles are equipped with manual locking hubs rather than automatic on the fly 4×4. Such vehicles require driver to park, shift transfer case in the cab to 4-HI or 4-LO AND go outside to turn dail on front wheel hubs to "LOCK" before proceeding. Some folks driving in irregular winter conditions will lock the hubs but stay in two wheel drive until they need 4×4. Running locked hubs with 2 wheel drive otherwise increases front tire wear.

Tyler: Hey Tom, I'm planning on going skiing today, how are the roads going up to the mountain?
Tom: Roads are a bit snowy & icy in places but if you lock the hubs, you should be fine!

lock-awk

Short for locker-awkward, this is when one breaks up with one's middle school significant other and subsequently avoids eye contact whilst both are at their respective lockers.

OMG, guys, ever since I broke up with Joey things have been totally lock-awk. He won't even say hi and I just want things to like before we were together - you know, like two weeks ago.
