A boomer living in suburbia who incapable of thinking of getting around without his or her car and is deathly afraid of public transit, biking, walking, or other viable alternatives to driving. Complains about speed and safety of public transit all the time, and opposes all "communist" transit projects, even if it speeds up traffic. May also be a NIMBY, but not necessarily.
Person 1: The Metro is filled with druggies and homeless people. In my car, I'm in my safe bubble where I am 100% safe and no one can harm me!
Person 2: You are SUCH a fucking carbrain!

Car brain 

Derogatory term for vehicle drivers, whose cognitive functions have been impaired by the act of driving.

Long term dependency on their car has caused their brain to atrophy to such an extent that they barely recognize pedestrians as human. The car brain will speed in parking lots where they share right-of-way with pedestrians, will block the entirety of a crosswalk while waiting for the green light, overtake bikes without giving enough room, splash pedestrians with water by hitting puddles at full speed, et cetera
Look at that, some car brain parked in the bike lane. Sure would be a shame if someone keyed them.

Car Brain 

A phrase commonly used by urbanists who think choosing to drive means you have a disfunctional brain, and that all drivers are insonsiderste assholes who go 90 across parking lots, randomly swerve into bike lanes, and go out of their way to run over pedestrians in crosswalks... because obviously if you put all the asshole drivers on a bike, bus or train instead, they'd suddenly become more considerate.
Urbanist: I was cycling the other day and almost got hit by some car brain going 30 in a 25. All drivers are assholes. We should ban cars.

More from Urban Dictionary
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
