Gripping The Cheese

Taking a minor matter and unnecessarily inflating its importance.

Comes from a fat kid grabbing rather harshly a cup of dip cheese for his fries after he realizes there is not enough on his fries.
I was driving down the road doing 30 in a 25 and this cop must have been gripping the cheese cuz he pulled me over.

"gripping pad"

Background: As a Fleet Risk-Control Manager in a major city, our drivers are taught to reduce their "driver reaction distance" (gas to brake time) by entering into a "preliminary pad grip," (brake pad to rotor with minor, unnoticeable contact); this is also known as "gripping pad."
Example One:

Driver: "It's not my fault I hit that truck that shot out of the mouth of that blind alley."

Fleet Safety Director: "Yea, but you should have been "gripping pad" going through there..."

Example Two:

Driver: "Don't blame me that I knocked that person down; she came out of nowhere."

Fleet Safety Director: "You should have been "gripping pad" going through there with all the people present!"

gripping grain

The act of putting one's hands upon wood grain, an often faux-wood type of molding often found in luxury automobiles, especially on the steering wheel. However, in some cases, the wood is actually real. Gripping grain is often paired with leaning to one's right while driving.

I drove past tipping gripping grain.

Take a hold of the grain and grip a, handful and smile for the pictures nigga"
