Pulling a Winnetka 

How you describe the actions of a driver that shows complete obliviousness to their surroundings.

Typical examples include rolling into pedestrians on the sidewalk, opening car doors into oncoming traffic, and going the wrong way down one-way streets.
Me: "That car almost backed into that baby carriage!"

You: "Yep, they were totally Pulling a Winnetka."

Winneconne 

A dried up old alcoholic town. Fully equipped with two gas stations, one grocery store and ten bars, this town is home to countless rednecks and heathens. If you're visiting Winneconne, expect nothing.... and you'll get even less. The only good thing to do in this town is to leave and drive to Oshkosh. Which also sucks, but that's a whole different animal.

A white male who enjoys popular rap music, but holds to his roots as a redneck. This subgroup has been growing rapidly as rap music has become more popular in America.

Most wignecks don't enjoy shaving or wearing shirts, but love to have pictures taken of themselves holding their neice and a bud light (the wigneck beer of choice). They normally have very close family ties and will constantly share stories about their uncle or cousin (who is really crazy and the funniest guy you'll ever meet).

Many wignecks enjoy playing pool while wearing some form of clothing adorned with the confederate flag while discussing Nelly or Ja Rule.

*Note that most wignecks only listen to top 40 rappers and as a rule know nothing about hip-hop. (although they most likely have a ball point prison tattoo of the Wu-Tang emblem; provided, of course, by their talented cousin who likes drawing trucks with big tires.)
Last night I wound up at some redneck karaoke bar and watched a wigneck drink four Mike's Hard Lemonades while wearing a Tu Pac tshirt and arguing with his uncle, Barry, that Jeff Gordon is, "Uber sweet and totally better than Davey Allison."

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
