gauntlet

Gauntlet was originally an arcade game made in the early 80's. It was one of the first "top-down" view role playing games, in which you could control one of four types of player classes. The objective of the game was to find keys and kill enemies and proceed to new rooms. Has seen many incarnations on various systems over time.

gauntlet

In driving, an open corridor without vehicles formed on a 6-lane freeway / highway in between the passing / fast lane and the exterior / slow lane. Typically occurs just prior to an off-ramp, as the cars move & line up in the exterior lane to get onto the off-ramp, and the balance of drivers move into the passing lane to avoid the congestion.

At this point, a driver can choose to "charge the gauntlet" or "run the gauntlet", by moving into the middle lane and accelerating quickly. This makes it too dangerous for other drivers to enter the lane, keeping it free and clear.

Michael - Geez, I thought we were going to be stuck in traffic for an hour. Good thing I got that opportunity to run the gauntlet; I passed at least 30 cars!

Thomas - Michael, if you ever steal my car again, you will not live to see your 15th birthday.

Michael - Yes Dad.

gauntlets

When one is holding a flask of hard liquor in their dominant hand and a beer in the other. The beer should be drank only to wash out the flavor of the hard liquor for the term gauntlets to apply.

The drunkard passed out and was robbed of the gauntlets.
