Trans-Pittsford Highway 

Trans-Pittsford Highway (aka Mendon Center Road) is a North-South road. People from Mendon Center use this road to pass through Pittsford as quickly as possible on their way to all points North. The road’s posted speed limit ranges from 40 to 50 mph depending on the section, though people typically go 55 to 60 mph on the road. At one point, just past the swamp (aka Autumn Woods development), one must screech to a halt as Pittsford soccer moms turn onto the highway from Barker Road at 10 mph and then turn off again a few hundred feet later at Willard (as in the rat) Road, again at 10 mph. Pittsford wouldn’t be so bad if you could just pass through it more quickly. All those little boxes tend to make Mendonians ill.
“I hate those Pittsford soccer moms. They pull out onto the Trans-Pittsford Highway in front of oncoming traffic and then drive incredibly slowly. It's almost as if they are daring us, "hit me, hit me.”

highway battle 

Term used to denote a type of street race that occurs specifically on a long stretch of highway. Generally, this type of race is impromptu, or spur of the moment, and is challenged while moving on the highway. Racers may or may not know one another.

Typically, while driving down the highway, driver 1 pulls in to a left or right position (when highway structure permits)behind the individual he wishes to challenge. Driver 1 then flashes his high beam headlights a number of times to officially challenge driver 2. Driver 2 would accept the challenge by turning on his flashers or hazard lights, or decline the race by applying his brakes, thus activating his vehicle's brake lights and indicating to driver 1 that they decline the challenge.

If the challenge is accepted, driver 1 pulls along side driver 2. A few moments are spent prepping for the race by getting at the proper speed, which is usually determined by driver 2. Driver 1 then holds up a number of fingers to indicate which horn blast the race will begin on (typically 3). Driver 2 would nod in agreement, and driver 1 would then honk his horn the agreed amount (here it's 3). Immediately on the third horn blast both participants mash the throttle and begin the race. The race is determined in a number of ways, though normally it ends when the lead car has held a stong lead of at least 5 car links ahead of his opponent for about 10 to 15 seconds, the lead car pulls ahead and out of view of his opponent, or the trailing car quits. In this race, the lead driver CAN quit and end the race, and such would NOT be considered a loss.

Obviously certain conditions must be observed during these battles. From traffic flow, to weather, to course and surroundings, all things must be considered. Speeds commonly get very high and dangerous, though most races are held honorably, with each driver knowing when to quit.

Historically, these races were popularized in Japan in the late 80's with the advent of the modern Japanese supercars such as the Toyota Supra or Nissan Skyline. They are currently very common around Tokyo's super highways such as the Wangan or the Shinanobashi, whose traffic flow late at night and construction make for excellent venue. This kind of racing is gaining popularity in America, specfically late at night on multilane country highways and interstates.

This kind of racing is the primary backdrop in the video game "Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3"

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
