When a automobile begins to accelerate before it is prudent. Most often witnessed at intersections that are controlled by traffic lights when a driver incorrectly assumes that it is his turn to go next.
Driver: Look at that guy raring to go. I'll bet he doesn't know that it's my turn to go next.
<Car in question moves about a foot and then stops abruptly as he realizes his light did not change green>
Passenger: How embarrassing; a classic case of premature acceleration.

Get the Premature Acceleration mug.
The act of mashing the gas pedal as soon as you see the left turn arrow turn green in your periferal vision, even though you are in the straight lane, causing a moment of embarassment as no fewer than 8 people think less of you as a man
little timmy started to make his left turn, when a man almost ran into him head on after a premature acceleration

Get the Premature Acceleration mug.when you post a good post on a social platform (for instance reddit) and that post slowly gets upvoted, but when more people notice that particular post, your post will be upvoted faster and faster until it eventually reaches frontpage.

Get the upvote acceleration mug.When God not only showers His blessing on your life but speeds it up, by making things happen that you could not make happen with your own intelligence and effort—when you witness breakthroughs in your relationships, finances, promotions, and health at such a speed that would make your head swim and turn heads.
The God of acceleration shows that He doesn’t operate according to our human’s natural timeline—what would normally take us years to achieve, He could just do it in the twinkle of an eye.

Get the The God of Acceleration mug.When a bad driver accidentally hits the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal inside a parking space, the car will usually accelerate into another object until it is stopped. In the present day, unintended acceleration is a term the offending driver likes to claim in order to avoid paying for their mistakes. Those drivers always blame the car for accelerating on its own. Even if you present them with logs and even witnesses, they will continue to believe their own lie and claim the car accelerated on its own. Companies like Audi, Toyota and Tesla have fallen into this same trap.
I had an unintended acceleration event today. My brand new car took off on its own in the parking spot. It jumped over a curb and hit a brick wall even though my foot was on the brakes. I want the manufacture to step in and investigate why it happened. I am sure the car accelerated on its own and I would like to have the repair paid by them.

Get the Unintended acceleration mug.The bit of fast walking you do after not having held a door for another person. Occurs most often in borderline cases.
"That dude was kinda too far to hold the door for, but he gave me a nasty look when I used a bit of bad samaritan acceleration."
