one who has smoked too much weed and became a bum who can no longer think and make wise choices. making conversation with a burnout is difficult because they fried most of their brain cells.

A game originally made in the year 2001 by Acclaim, and later by EA and Criterion Games in 2004 with the release of the 3rd game. Unlike Need For Speed, Burnout is a bit more realistic. The game allows you to crash into others vehicles and obstacles, destroying either your car or their car. There's even game modes centered around crashing your car to cause the biggest crashes imaginable. The most recent Burnout title available today is Burnout Paradise Remastered, a remaster of the 5th, and 2nd best game in the series.
Person A: God damn it...
Person B: What? What happened?
Person A: I was playing Burnout and I crashed into a pillar on mistake.
Person B: Oof, that sucks.

Someone who was really popular in high school and college and spent those years as well as ages 21-29 partying, smoking weed and doing other drugs (including drinking a lot), having sex and hooking up, but after age 30 is a total asshole with a bad job, legal issues, health problems, and is usually not married or ever has a family. In other words, a burnout is what happens later in life to age 14-29 punk-ass guys and age 14-29 slut girls.
I am 15 years old and would much rather prefer being average or not popular in high school and college yet grow up to have a successful job and a good family instead of being really popular and the life of the party now yet becoming a total shithead or burnout later in adulthood.

When the driver of a rear wheel drive vehicle decides to show off the torque of his engine by breaking the rear tires' traction with the ground and spinning them in place, by holding the brakes, usually for the purpose of making a large cloud of smoke. Also referred to as brakestand and roastin' 'em. This is also how drag vehicles on slicks gain additional traction, the burnout heats the tires up and this causes them to bite into the pavement harder. Users of street tires will not notice any major benefit, so this is useless to streetcars.

Another variant uses no brake application, it is done by drivers of less powerful RWD cars that would otherwise stall. Sometimes called a one-wheel peel, because only one wheel spins. Front wheel drive vehicles do this version because they are, um, FWD, and can't brakestand. This is typically called a peelout instead of a burnout, but some powerful muscle cars can successfully do a proper, smokey burnout while moving forward.

Vehicles with rims over 25" in diameter may not posess enough torque to burn out without breaking something. This means those of you with Donk'ed out vehicles need not apply. Rims with thin spokes and large diameters are too weak to take the stresses and their hubs may rip out. They may also bend and/or otherwise be damaged.

The only real legit time to do it on the street is if the vehicle is spinning out, and only to prevent the engine from taking damage when being spun backwards and to scrub off some speed, lessening the severity and chances of an impact.

Ricers have been known to attempt a 'brakestand' by using their parking brake to hold the car still. While this has the same effect, it isn't a true brakestand.
Man, that old truck ain't as shitty as I thought it was. Did you see that massive burnout it did? It's only got a six cylinder too...Damn, man.

Heh, that Ricer just attempted a burnout. Silly FWD.

I like this car. When you burn out, the smoke comes from the correct end of the car.

That burnout fails horribly. One wheel peels suck balls!

the main purpose of having automobiles, that involves using the brakes of the car to hold it still while the driven wheels turn at high speed to produce copious smoke and also cause the car to exhibit handling characteristics such as a sliding rear end which make driving it very fun
That bogan did so many burnouts in his Commodore that he broke his diff
