phone gap

in slow, heavy traffic, it’s the wide gap created between cars by someone who doesn’t move because they’re distracted by their phone. Very convenient for changing lanes

I can change lanes with the phone gap that just opened up, so I won’t miss my exit

Darien Gap

The name of the boundary between Colombia and Panama and effectively North and South America. It is the most dangerous natural border in the world, with dense jungles, rugged terrain, and unpredictable flash floods being a big reason why there is still no road connecting the two continents. Crazier still, this continental barrier has existed since prehistoric times, having formed when North America became connected to South America via the Panama land bridge, allowing people and animals to migrate south. But despite the dangers anyone who attempts to cross from Colombia to Panama on foot will face, thousands of desperate migrants still risk their lives to make the treacherous crossing each year, hoping to eventually make it to the States.

The Darien Gap is behind only the Korean DMZ and the former Berlin Wall in terms of being the most dangerous borders in the world.

hope gap

the gap between being concerned about the changing climate and doing something about it.

And our research has shown there is a hope gap. Even people who are most alarmed at climate change don’t know what the solutions are. Many people feel scared and frustrated and impotent. Which is patently wrong. It’s solvable. - Anthony Leiserowitz
