drifting

Making the car slip laterally by means of oversteering. Possible with a RWD vehicle. Some people try this with FWD cars as well by driving in Reverse.
Its aptly defined as "Controlling your car when it is in uncontrolable zone"

US competed in the Drifting Grand Prix with a Pontiac GTO and were knocked out before the round of 15.

drifting

To cause a vehicle to slide or ‘drift’ laterally. It is caused by making a turn a speeds high enough to cause the tires (both front and rear, but the rear tires go first and the front don’t always go) to loose traction, allowing the car to slide laterally. It is possible in front, rear, and all wheel drive. Pulling the hand/emergency/parking break (three names for the same thing) at the apex of a turn will allow one to drift at lower speeds than if the rear wheels were allowed to spin freely. Also, drastically speeding up the rear wheels by revving the engine (therefore causing the rear wheels to spin faster than the car is moving forward) will allow one to drift more easily, this is only possible in rear wheel drive.

I find it difficult to understand the physics behind drifting.

drifting

Drifting (v.) The act of an Xbox 360 controller 'skipping' when playing a first person shooter (such as Modern Warfare 2). Usually caused by getting pizza dough in it; causes a higher sensitivity in the analog sticks.

Cowan was playing CoD with James, Clark, and Stru one day when his Uncle Gianluca needed help in the kitchen making a calzone. As he was kneading the dough, he got his controller caught in it and got pizza dough under the joysticks. To this day, the controller has him drifting all over the place if he's trying to quick scope.

Noun

While in the process of giving fellatio, the penis misses the giver's mouth and starts streaking away on the face, sometimes piercing the cheekbone.

Typically occurs when the person giving fellatio is inebriated, exhausted, barely awoken from sleep to perform the act, or otherwise mind-altered by drugs or medication.

"Hey Greg. Wake up, man! You're drifting, and now my dick is stabbing your cheek. Get it together, and THEN you can go back to sleep!"
