The act of sprinting across the platform as soon as the doors of your train open in order to get onto the train on the opposite side of the platform before it's doors close. Named after Finchley Road underground station in London, UK, where the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines are on either side of the platform.
Sorry I'm late, had to do a Finchley Road Sprint but I didn't make it to the other side so I had to wait for another one.

Get the Rocky Road Headmug. A prudent no-financial-cost-to-you "hoofin' it" journey that you take to a certain location prior to driving there in your fuel-sucking auto-bubble, to actually "see for yourself" if whatever conditions/circumstances that someone of questionable integrity told you about really are the case, or if you'd just be going on a wild goose chase and merely consuming your costly gas for nothing.
I always perform a pre-road-trip walk (or I'll bike or hitch-hike or otherwise find a way to travel there "for free") to a stated destination whenever one of da local riff-raff requests me to drive there --- too many times in da past I've merely wasted an hour and used several gallons of expensive gasoline, only to discover that the shallow-minded idiot who'd asked me to "go and help" wasn't even "for real", and so either (1) there was nobody and/or nothing whatsoever at the place I'd been requested to drive to, or (2) someone else entirely --- and who usually was someone whom I had expressly said I would never assist anymore due to his outrageously-inapprorpate treatment of me in the past --- was there to request my help instead of the "promised" more-desirable person or persons, or (3) whoever was there knew nothing about whatever matter that I'd been sent there to act on, and sometimes I even got in trouble for "trespassing" or otherwise "disturbing the peace".

Get the pre-road-trip walkmug. A ripoff of Clash Royale by the Korean company Dreamotion that is actually skill-based and free to play, despite the better troops that some of the factions in the game have.
For example, the Wehrmacht and U.S. have significantly stronger units compared to the Soviets and Ostheer, since the number of troops and strength of their vehicles is much higher. Additionally, their special abilities are extremely overpowered and completely obliterate the opponent's attack.
Road to Valor: You get a lot of gems, gold, and challenge coins at the start, which allows you to progress quickly and be forgiven if you spend some on the wrong
Clash royale: You'll get some amount of gems, much more gold, and a handful of other things, but spending too many gems cuts off your opportunity for better cards in the next few arenas.
Road to Valor: All factions deploy from 4 areas on their side or (In the case of Partisans and some similar units) inside the statue at the center, but some cards (and special abilities) can be used anywhere.
Clash Royale: You can place the cards on any spot on your side of the arena, but there are far more spells that can be placed anywhere with annoying effects.
Road to Valor: Challenges are very hard, but You'll earn something even if you lose)
Clash Royale: Challenges aren't equally as challenging, but you'll earn nothing and you'll have to repay at a great price if you want to get back in.

Get the Roadesmug. Located along the ghetto strip between notorious neighbourhoods Seaforth, Balgowlah and Fairlight, Sydney Road is a gang members favourite street. Shootouts, drive bys, drug wars and stabbings are an everyday occurrence here. Also located along the strip is infamous high school Balgowlah Boys, known for its gang affiliation and retarded students, if you want to stay sane, stay away.
Person 1: "I have to go get a haircut on Sydney Road tomorrow..."
Person 2: "Oh fuck, watch out for the Bally cunts and the gang members."

Get the Sydney Roadmug. The men you find anywhere in the UK where there are roadworks occurring. Recognised by high-viz vests and hard hats. The function of the Road Stud is to stand around at the roadside in threes; two doing absolutely nothing but chatting or looking at a mobile phone whilst only one is actually working. Known as Road Studs because they will stare, leer and/or catcall any vehicle passing with female drivers.
