The Top Gear Effect

Share definition
The theory that excessive watching of the car programme "top gear" by middle aged men can descend into the urge to attend decadent, homoerotic gatherings at car show rooms where men perform sexual role plays based on the relationship of the three presenters and fuck the exhausts of expensive cars.
The Top Gear Effect: "Have been binge watching Top Gear repeats on Dave recently and I keep having this really disturbing dream where I'm out riding horses in the desert dressed as a cowboy with Jeremy Clarkson and then when we pitch a tent. for a night... well I don't want to repeat that part of the dream."

I was in the wrong gear

This is when you are trying to be hectic doing the Bondi Run, but realised your mate is actually the Bondi King now and you can't keep up, so after taking 2 minutes to make up and excuse with awkward silence, you use the excuse "I was in the wrong gear"

Giving the gears is to tease someone by giving them a bit of a hard time but not in a harsh or unkind way.
They were giving me the gears because I went golfing with the boss.
