rubber necking
Euphemism used by the euroraepean people, to surreptiously confuse the act of motorists, gaping at traffic accidents with enough intensity to slow down progression and clog traffic arteries, with the more nefarious act, of gaining proximal social cohesion and integrity, via thepleasures of viewing disaster spectacles, communally. The term's allusive name is meant to make the listner picture a person with an actual rubber neck, thus burying the term's real significance in an air of comedic ignorance for those uninitiated in the peculiarities of the "culture."
The rubber necking motorists, crammed bumper to bumper in the street, shared a psychic ecstacy, at the sight of the mangled crash victims being pulled from the wreckage . The drivers' and passengers' pulses began to race in time at the spectacle, and their elavated rush of adrenaline would, much later, reveal its latent effects, in the high-pitched laughter and general joviality, of those who had earlier witnessed the dismal scene.
