Also known as taxidermy phobia.
I can't walk through the taxidermy exhibit of the Natural History Museum without sweating profusely and getting palpitations because of my taxidermiphobia.

taxi

One of the more obscure Aussie slang terms used in predominantly slapstick situations usually involving alcohol. When your mate goes to the bar to grab the fifth round of drinks and smashes a glass on his way back, yell "TAXI!"

It's a light-hearted, humorous expression which implies that the person who smashed the glass had a little bit too much to drink and needs a taxi/uber/ride home. You can make the situation even funnier by actually chucking your mate in a taxi just for shits and giggles.
Drunk dude *drops a glass*

Everyone in the bar screams in unison: "TAXI"

Paki's Taxi

A 90's Japanese car used for private hire or Hackney that is cherished by Indians and Pakistanis, usually a Toyota Carina-E or old Avensis that has covered 300,000 miles and battered to hell.
They will usually be full of clutter, have vile seat covers, stink of piss and vomit, have a bent MOT and be totally unroadworthy - purchased on Ebay for £100.
They will always turn up late and never ring the doorbell, choosing to blast their horns outside instead.
They will always rip you off, especially if its Saturday night 2.00 am in Manchester City Centre and you are pissed up after a night on the beer. They always chatter away on their CB Radios in Punjabi / Gudjurati / Hindi etc and have Bhangra playing on the tape deck.
Whats that awful noise - its a paki's taxi with a blown exhaust! - £20 quid to the end of the street - I'll get the bus it'll be more comfortable and quieter!
