Redlight Elephant

When people don't want to address, debate or offer solutions about the growing issue of the homeless in America.

Wordplay derived from "The elephant in the room" phrase: important issues or subject matter that people tend not to want to discuss, thus overlooking the isuue.

Redlight is a reference to a traffic light; homeless often stand at traffic lights to aquire money from passing drivers.

Michelle was driving home from work and saw a man with a cardboard sign at the taffic light on the corner of Cornell. The Redlight Elephant struck, she wanted to help but drove right by the man.

Jen and Mike were approached by three homeless coming out of the bookstore. They didn't hesitate to walk past without making eye contact. Neither addressed the Redlight Elephant on their walk to the car.

redlight texting

The act of texting only at a redlight by the person who is driving the car. Generally accepted as a safer way to text while driving because the driver is less likely to wreck, but they can still maintain communication with other people.

Mom: Kasey, put that phone away, don't you know you're not supposed to text while you're driving?!
Kasey: Mom, it's ok, I'm 18, haven't I at least earned the privilege of redlight texting? I'm not going to wreck.

RedLight Party

When the light turns red you and all companions in the car immediately start dancing. The faster the song the better. Slow songs can be good on occasion but when the occasion is RedLight Party the faster the better. And the people in the car must dance. Dancing can of course stop when the red light changes. Don't want any accidents.

And don't worry when the people in the other cars start dancing with you. Its contagious!
