Korean Braking as the act of an inexperienced or incompetent driver believing that the brake pedal on a vehicle has only two positions, none or fully applied. When Korean braking is used occupants of the vehicle can expect to experience unpleasant g-forces from either the car screeching to a stop or the vehicle behind them that was caught off guard. As the name hints, this is common practice in Korea.

Get the Scone-balking mug.Combination of "braking" (i.e., related to a car's brakes) and "breaking in period," describing the time it takes to adjust your foot to the sensitivity of the brakes of a car that you don't regularly drive, such as a friend's car, your spouse's car, or a rental car. At first, the brakes are either too sensitive, which causes you to slam down the breaks and jerk to a stop, or, too firm and require you to push down harder with your foot than you are used to.
