Freeway Envy 

“Freeway Envy” is when you’re stuck in traffic that is not moving at all, then you look over at the opposite side, and the people are flying a long in their cars without a care in the world, and you wish that was you.

Freeway Theory 

Formulated by Barney Stinson of "How I Met Your Mother", detailing how relationships are like freeways, and there are exits that can be taken to get out of them:

1. 6 hours (aka one night stand)
2. 4 days
3. 3 weeks
4. 7 months
5. 1.5 years/18 months
6. 18 years
7. death

As Robin would later put it, if one person says, "I love you", then the relationship moves into the carpool lane, where there is a big diamond.
Robin: I usually don't get this far in a relationship. I usually take the 3 week exit.
Lily: Don't tell me you're actually buying into Barney's "freeway theory"

Freelance Police 

A team (preferably a duo) hired by a police commissioner (preferably not seen) to take on cases and jobs (preferably none anyone in their right mind would do) for a meager wage (preferably in Hostess snack food and non-bootleg corndogs).

Only wisecracking overzealous crime stoppers fill this job. They are found loitering near convenience stores, have wanton disregard to the rules of the road, and take random things as "evidence". Cases handed to them always get done, but probably not in a way people expect them to be solved.
Person 1: Did you know Freelance Police curse in long hand?

Person 2: Well, semicolon apostrophe hyphen comma good for them!
