curb wash

The colloquial term for the unexpected or expected drenching experienced when a passing vehicle drives through a puddle while a pedestrian is walking along the street; most commonly experienced during or after rainy conditions. It's akin to receiving an impromptu wash from the curb or road, resulting in being drenched and potentially necessitating a change of attire.

1. I had such a rough day at work. My boss was a jerk, I was swamped with mundane tasks, the weather sucked, and to cap it all off, on my way to my car someone totally curb washed me.
2. That puddle is in a prime location to curb wash someone.
3. Just saw this doofus get curb washed on the side walk. He should have taken the bus...
