Get the Hand brake mug.The ILLEGAL act of intentionally slamming your own brakes in order for another driver tailgating you to rear-end your own car.
Many people do not realize it, but it is the person who slammed on his/her brakes that are at fault, not the tailgater.
If the police finds out about this, the tailgater will most likely be cited for following too close, and fined, but the brake checker will be arrested for reckless driving, and charged with a misdemeanor (or felony if someone gets injured or killed).

Brake checker: This driver behind me is following too close, time to brake check.
Tailgater: Your fault, not mine.
Brake checker: No, it's your fault, because you were following too close.
Tailgater: Let's see what the police says.
Police officer: Tailgater, this is a citation for following too close. Take care of that as soon as possible.
Tailgater: Thank you officer.
Brake checker: I'd better be on my way.
Police officer: No, you're coming with me. You're under arrest for driving recklessly with the intent to cause an accident.
Brake checker: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get the beat the brakes off it mug.Also known as the Human Emergency Brake. Someone who takes the wind out of the proverbial sails. Found on any sort of conversation thread (Facebook, message boards, etc), they are the one who always has the last comment. This is because they abruptly bring the conversation to a screeching halt with boring, lame, unfunny, or inappropriate comments. Or because they are just generally disliked by others and nobody wants to engage them in further discussions.
We were having a funny conversation on my Facebook page and then Jonny, the Human E Brake, chimed in and the whole thread just died a miserable death.

Get the Human E Brake mug.A frightening presence that lurks in dark corners, behind hedges and beneath river banks. It can be challenged to reveal itself and to go away by saying its name loudly and forcefully. This reduces the power of the brakaka by eliminating the element of surprise.
A very real being living in the minds of small children.
