To use a vehicle that is most likely not yours to pass time by driving it on a random route. Usually stealing the vehicle is part of the joyride. Most joyrides involve some form of law-breaking such as speeding, wreckless endangerment etc.

When the “crush” has no intentions of taking things further, but they like the attention. So they flirt here or there, send dm/texts just to keep the person interested, knowing damn well they’re staying single.
Danielle was so flirty the other night, he messaged me 3 times just to say hello, I think he’s coming around.

No Susan he’s breadcrumbing you just so you’ll keep nibbling at his heels.

If I hear that you have been on a joy ride when I get back, I will turn you in before you can even figure it out.

Something you don't tell your mother you are doing when you are going out driving with buddies on Friday night because she'll freak shit and not let you go.
Mom
"No, I'm not letting you out! I don't want you getting into an accident like those teenagers on the news! Joyriding is dangerous!"

Dad
"Idiot! Why did you say joyride? You should have said you were going to McDonald's or something. You know your mom worries! Kidding me? Fucking... joyride... idiot!"
