Stopping Traffic

An idiom that refers to a very attractive person. In most contexts, the negation of the word is used, usually to pin down someone who is moderately attractive but nothing mindblowing (see example)
Yeah man, she’s pretty cute. I mean she’s not stopping traffic or anything, but she’s definitely easy on the eyes.

sushi stop

A "sushi stop" is when a driver at a stop sign slows down but does not make a complete stop before continuing on. This practice, officially a "rolling stop", is especially common in California, so it became referred to as a "California Rolling stop". A California Roll is a type of sushi (favored by white people), so we call it a Sushi Stop!
"I saw so many cars making sushi stops this morning on my way to work."

"Dude, you totally just made a sushi stop. If you get pulled over I'm gonna be so annoyed."

Vancouver stop

A vehicle stop typical of Vancouverites, whereby the driver pulls into an intersection behind other vehicles and cannot clear the intersection by the time the light turns red. This typically happens when the driver thinks that traffic on the other side of the intersection will clear before the light turns red. A driver that stops in the crosswalk or in the intersection itself is guilty of the Vancouver stop. Vancouver stops do not usually occur at intersections where right of way is not given by at least one set of lights.

The Vancouver stop is the cousin of the "California stop", whereby a driver does not stop their vehicle completely at a red light or stop sign, and instead "roll stops". The difference is that a Vancouver stop does not typically occur at stop signs, and does involve a complete stop of the vehicle, rather than a roll stop.
"The light turned green, but I couldn't go through because some asshole Vancouver stopped right in the middle of the intersection!"

"The guy in the big truck Vancouver stopped in the crosswalk, and couldn't move when traffic had cleared because pedestrians kept walking in front of his vehicle."
