Lead Sled

A big old heavy car that handles like a boat and may or may not go fast in a straight line
This old lead sled may be fast in a drag race, but if you think you can take that winding mountain pass at any speed in it, you're crazy

Lead Stare

Typically common with boomers and most of early gen x as most of the products they used back in the day were lead based (i.e. paint, toys, utensils) this causes an issue with attention span, how the world perceives you, and personal relationships as these people tend to have no souls. Similar to the 1000 yard stare.

this term pretty much means ur old, alone, and hate the world you live in

All though they’re known to terrorize minimum wage workers and anybody under the age of 25, these people are not in the same category as Karens. Often times these people will stare and disassociate during conversations with others & take extra time to process information.

Um, Leading the witness your honor

Is what you say when someone is leading someone else to a conclusion that they wouldn’t have otherwise drawn without your input. They use this all the time in courtroom dramas and I’ve seen some of those which means I’m technically a layer. No big deal or anything...
Hym “He was clearly NOT going to say ‘wisdom.’ He said ‘FREEDOM’ and was not going to say wisdom until YOU said wisdom. So... Um, leading the witness your honor! That’s the second time in those clips that you did it too! You did it to the other guy too!”

Dr. Moses Aaronson “Wouldn’t you say that the conclusion you’re trying to draw is the conclusion I want you draw and that I already have drawn in the past?”

Professor Junior Senior-Esquire the 3rd “Why YES! I was! I was going to say that! And I was in no way lead to that conclusion by you leading me there! I’m not here to be a sycophantic yes man whose sole purpose is to affirm your subjective interpretation of the Bible!”

Hym “Ha! Ridiculous! I just saved everyone reading this the trouble of watching your Exodus lecture. That’s all it is. You aggregating your cronies to affirm your propositional ethic. ‘God is too perfect for anyone to be around so I, Dr. Jeeple Jorpson, need to act as an intermediary for it’s will! You need the structure I provide because you can’t be trusted to make decisions because you are basically an animal to me! Or worse if you’re Hym!”
