1. (n) A state of confusion. It is thought that the term was derived when a Royal Navy Ship consisting of a Chinese crew and British officers was set to perform a firedrill. One group of the crew was to carry buckets of water from the port side of the ship to the engine room to extinguish the blaze. Then another team was to take buckets of water from the floor of the engine room and throw it off the starboard side. In the first moments of the drill, things went fine, however, difficulty in translation between the officers and crew caused confusion resulting in the first bucket team taking water from the port side of the ship, and dumping it off the starboard side of the ship while the second team did nothing.
2. (n) When the occupants of a car stop at a traffic light and exit the vehicle to cavort around the car like the lead knife in a knife parade

In Mafia, a last-minute, unexpected switch of votes aimed at a player who is least expecting it, causing disarray and surprise. This tactic is used strategically to ensure the elimination of a potentially dangerous player or to throw other players off their game. This is often executed in a fast-paced and chaotic manner, akin to the whirlwind confusion of a Chinese Fire Drill.
Everything was going smoothly for John, he was sure that he had convinced everyone of his innocence. But then, just when the voting was about to end, a Chinese Fire Drill occurred. To his utter disbelief, all the votes suddenly swung in his direction, catching him completely off-guard and leading to his unexpected elimination from the game.

During a threesome (with two guys and a girl.. or three guys..... but seriously two guys and a girl), two males stop their motions, yell out "Chinese fire drill!" then proceed to jog around in a circle three times. After this, the two males swap positions and continue on, after a high five of course.
Jimmy and bobby where happily pig roasting Jane, when Jimmy suddenly shouts "Chinese fire drill!". Both Jimmy and bobby stop what they are doing immediately and run in circles around Jane three times. After this is completed, Jimmy and bobby swap positions and give each other a high five in successful completion of the Chinese fire drill.

The REAL chinese fire drill
A "Chinese fire drill" is when people trick a random stranger into entering their car amidst a lot of commotion. There is a lot of noise and movement, and the victim is usually distracted. During the time they're in the car, they're actually pricked with a needle carrying blood tainted with H.I.V.
They are then let out of the car, their assault unbeknownst to them.
Then they sleep with everyone at a party, and everyone dies.
Especially Casper.
