While waiting at a traffic signal for the light to change from red to green, you notice that the left turn arrow changes green without the forward light changing green. Just by seeing the light change you step on the gas alittle bit and then realize that your lane is still stopped. Causing the car to flinch. Typically implies that you are alert or that you are in a rush to go somewhere. Senario may be applied vice versa.
(While second in line waiting at a traffic signal in the forward lane)
Driver: I really hope the light changes soon.
Passenger: Yeah me too.
~Left turn lane changes green, but forward light remains red~
~ Car first in line on forward lane begins to go as if the forward light was green, realizes it is still red and stops; causing the vehicle to flinch moving forward a few inches~
Driver: Whoa! Did you see that guy ahead of us!?
Passenger: Yeah! He just did a Signal Flinch!
Driver: He must be in a rush to get out of here.
Driver: I really hope the light changes soon.
Passenger: Yeah me too.

Get the Turnt Signalmug. The opposite of Virtue Signaling. Instead of boasting about good thoughts and deeds, they brag about bad ones.
People may Vice Signal as a means to seem cool and edgy. Functioning as a “pick me” technique in conversations. It may also be used to one-up another persons statement.

Examples of Vice Signaling
*baby cries while being held*
“This baby doesn’t like me… it’s ok, I used to be a piece of shit. I’m not worried about it though, I don’t give a shit!”
“Oh you wake up at 5am? Hahaha, I’m never up earlier than 10am. Loser”
“Yeah I’ve done 10x whatever drug was just mentioned it was craaaayyyyzzzzyy”

Get the Signal dropmug. A gentleman on Glenwood St flies a bootlicker advertisement to attract randy truck enthusiasts to his home for adventureous bodily exploration, a sort of extreme yoga that includes touching.
When the flag is out, it provides the equivalent of a “bat signal” for the confused and young, this goodly man welcomes them with his robust, 80 year old arms.
