toll drafting

The act of quickly following a paying driver through a toll station before the cross member falls thus blocking your otherwise mad escape OR tailgating someone very closely through an EZ Pass lane with the same intent. This tactic can also be employed with great success exiting parking decks.

Thanks to my toll drafting skills I save over $350 dollars in tolls this year while only being hit with 2 fines worth $60 and making good time the EZ Pass lane to boot.

Drafted

When you're 18 years old and not old enough to have cigarettes or alcohol but you're sent out to be forced to die in a meaningless war. Without choice. That's pretty fucked up isnt it? Basically it's a death lottery that goes by your birthdate and if you win you get forced to die.

Aww FUCK. I got drafted. Fuck this shit.

ambulance drafting

Directly following an ambulance to or from an emergency in order to take advantage of the parted traffic in order to get ahead of your fellow commuters. Sometimes called ambulance chasing.

Man! Rush hour would've made me late for my job interiew, but fortunately there was a terrible accident. However, thanks to my ambulance drafting skills I was actually early. Too bad family of 5 had to die so I could land a job.
