Traffic Light Event Horizon

While approaching a green traffic light when driving, it's the point you make a mental note of, X feet before the intersection, where you're going through light even if it turns to yellow. X varies on the mph of the vehicle and the risk-tolerance of the driver. A feeling of relaxation often accompanies passing the event horizon of a traffic light, in particular when in a rush or for known long red lights.
I thought for sure we were already passed the traffic light event horizon, but Becky slammed on the breaks when the light turned yellow and my blue coconut slush fell and spilled all over the floormat or her Hyundai Elantra.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
