ghost pedestrian

A pedestrian who seems to appear out of nowhere while one is driving. This pedestrian may not have been seen due to the driver texting, singing, or reading a book while driving.

Peter: *reading Harry Potter while driving down the street*

Pedestrian: AAAAAHHHH!

Peter: *swerves out of the way* Holy crap! Those ghost pedestrians are such hazards!

Pedestrian

People who look like an everyday person, nothing special about them. Until they start doing what they can do best. He or she has a vibe or flow in which he/she couldt be walking around, moving into their talent and continue walking. Like its their natural life.

You move like a pedestrian.

pedestrian scramble

The Shibuya Crossing is a well-known pedestrian scramble.

Annoying pedestrians

Annoying Predestrians are usually people who get in the way of cyclists, they also can tend to stand in the way when others are trying to get past on the sidewalk.

"hey look at those annoying pedestrians Jim"
"Yeah I know right! Mike died after he had to swerve to avoid those peds"

pedestrian muncher

1. an oversized SUV or pickup truck with a high hood, native to rich American suburbia. The driver's vision immediately in front of the car is restricted by the hood, endangering pedestrians that attempt to cross in front of the vehicle; the hood can sometimes be high enough that a collision with a pedestrian impacts the torso instead of the legs, increasing deadliness to the pedestrian by several times. Bonus points if the vehicle looks capable of, or is advertised for, heavy work, but has never been used for it. Supertype of momster truck; compare compensator.

2. A person who drives such a vehicle, particularly in a densely populated area such as a city. Subtype of asshole; compare BMW driver.

"Damn, bro, look at the size of that truck..."
"Fucking pedestrian munchers. They come in from suburbia and clog up the streets -"
(thirty minutes of kvetching ensues.)
