Chinese chain reaction

When three or more Asian drivers rear-end each other in a domino-effect fashion, potentially resulting in multiple accidents, multiple traffic tickets, and a major traffic holdup.

When I was driving home from work and passed by an Asian neighborhood, I got caught in a Chinese chain reaction, and the front and rear chassis of my car got totaled.

"firehose" remark-reaction

Refers to the involuntary "geyser" of liquid/slurry that one produces when something funny/shocking is spoken in his presence while he's eating/drinking something, said utterance causes an "automatic" or "uncontrollable-on-short-notice" lung- expulsion from a laugh or cough, which in turn causes a forceful ejection of the mouth's contents which shoots out for several feet and disgustingly messes up anything (or anyONE) in its path.

A classic example of a "firehose" remark-reaction is when Jimmy Culp does an astonished "sploooot!" when he hears his name mentioned by Robert Stack on the Tonight Show immediately after taking a deep swig of beer.
