ARCA brakes

When a driver fails to use their brakes when a crash is happening ahead of them. Usage started in the late 90's when ARCA (Automobile Racing Club of America) was first aired along side NASCAR Winston and Busch series races and viewers noticed that when a wreck happened in front of the entire field, nobody even attempted to stop. The term is now used to reference easily avoidable crashes in videogames and racing simulators such as Forza Motorsport and iRacing.
*Car spins in the middle of the track but can be avoided.

*everybody floors it and hopes to get though but instead causes a huge wreck taking everybody out.

"Wow nice ARCA brakes asshole."

Passenger Brake 

The passenger brake is the nonexistant brake pedal located on the floor of the passenger (shotgun) side of the front seat of your car.

It is used instinctively by the passenger when the driver is driving insanely too fast, and the car needs to come quickly to a stop, which may not seem very possible at that particular moment.

It is sometimes used in conjunction with the OH SHIT handle by the passenger door.

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.
