Pedestria

noun-place
While in a drive-thru at McDonalds, you may see a sign stating, "Watch for Pedestrians." This sign, when seen by a stoned person, is referring to the asian or european employees who work at McDonalds. They are "Pedestrians" from the imaginary country of "Pedestria" and it is your duty to not run them over.
"Why don't these people speak English?"
"Because they are from Pedestria, didn't you read the sign?"

Militant Pedestrian

After braking harshly so as to not hit a man walking through a red light I honk in annoyance.
He turns round and flips me off making me wish I hadn't braked but instead floored it and made him into passata,
leaving me thinking "I fucking hate militant pedestrians."
