Drift

Drift is the best Skin you can play in the Battle Royale Game Fortnite. The CEO of Drift is the German TikToker CCTGamer. Drift loves to kill TnTina. But maybe TnTina (aka Zlatin) and Drift will team up against the fat Fluff.

TnTina: Hey Drift, do you want to team up against the fat Fluff?
Drift: Yes of course, let's kill Fluff and we are the Kings of the World

TnTina: Oh Drift, you are soo sexy, I love you so much!
Drift: Sorry Tina, but my heart is owned by Brite.
TnTina: But I cant live with out your love!
Drift: You have to...!

Drift

A drift is a technique used where the inertia of the later motion of a low HP car is used to counteract the centripetal forces or a hairpin turn in order to maintain high speed with whipping around a corner, not useful in high power cars where a pwoerslide of simply a turn burn can be done. Often used by FWD vehicles mistakenly thinking that a whiparound is faster than a tight cutting turn, which it is not. This technique is terrible for the rear axles of a RWD vehicle, and even worse for a FWD vehicle. If you are doing this with an AWD vehicle, you are beggin to muss your diffs. Those who think drifting has anything to do with racing are incorrect, it is for show only.

Rather than getting a fast car, I just e-brake drift and never let off the gas....I sir am not smart.

drift

An advanced driving technique used mainly for show in which the driver maintains oversteer through balance of throttle and steering inputs. there several ways to execute this manuver, from using the e-brake to send thet car into a controlled slide to using the cars own inertia to keep one moving foward in direction while power sliding.
also is a side effect of whatching Initial D.

Drifting

When someone who you don't like starts following you around and asking if he can hang out with you, despite multiple hints that you don't want him to hang out with you.

Brad, stop drifting.
