The colloquial term for the unexpected or expected drenching experienced when a passing vehicle drives through a puddle while a pedestrian is walking along the street; most commonly experienced during or after rainy conditions. It's akin to receiving an impromptu wash from the curb or road, resulting in being drenched and potentially necessitating a change of attire.
1. I had such a rough day at work. My boss was a jerk, I was swamped with mundane tasks, the weather sucked, and to cap it all off, on my way to my car someone totally curb washed me.
2. That puddle is in a prime location to curb wash someone.
3. Just saw this doofus get curb washed on the side walk. He should have taken the bus...

Get the Curb Turkey mug.Curb Hermits (noun) —
A subspecies of urban cryptid known for their sacred ritual of chain-smoking Marlboros on the same section of curb every day like it’s their personal throne of apathy.
These nicotine-powered philosophers emerge from unknown crevices at odd hours to contemplate life, loudly overshare trauma, and yell “you got a light?” at passing pigeons. Their natural enemies include: showers, employment, and any form of productive behavior.
Found primarily outside gas stations, 24-hour liquor stores, and anywhere weed smells like regret, Curb Hermits operate on a strict diet of American Spirits, Monster Energy, and unmedicated chaos.
Do not approach unless you’re offering a cigarette, gossip, or existential despair.

“Bro, don’t make eye contact with the Curb Hermits outside 7-Eleven. One of them asked me what year it was and then tried to sell me a dreamcatcher made of gum wrappers.”
