Bumper Ride

The term "Bumper Ride" is a regional term originating in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio with nearly the same meaning as the term "skeetch," but suburbanized and without city bravado. Due to the snowy roads in the city, kids often hitched a ride by staying low and grabbing on to the rear bumper of a vehicle at a stop sign and 'skiing' the road, more like 'water-skiing,' and released hold of the rear bumper when reacing their destination. Avoiding detection was key, due to the hidden nature of the liability incurred by the driver. Sadly, chrome bumpers are no longer made on cars and the tradition has fallen by the wayside.

Derek caught a "bumper ride" all the way to his street and only walked a block instead of 12 blocks.

Ride or Die

It's more than a saying, It's a way of life, When you love someone so much you're willing to accept their time as your own, despite how long or tough that road becomes... When you give it everything you've got.. Even when it's easier to give up.. When you sacrifice your needs for theirs.. When you rely on phone calls, letters and visits to get you through... When you encourage and reassure and find ways to keep them going.. When you remain fiercely loyal, when you would take their place if it meant freedom, that is the life we choose to live, That is what it means to be a Ride or Die.

She been down for me since day one, even when i was locked up, Shes a True Ride or Die.
