The act of getting a jump on a longline of traffic in a parking lot because some reckless pedestrian has decided to walk out in front of a car. Most beneficial when needing a left turn.
Driver: "Whoa! That fat lady almost got clipped by that Pinto."
Passenger: "Yeah, but that tub-of-lard cut off those other ten cars. Left turn please."
*whispers* alternate name for skin walker. Saying “skin walker” aloud is said to bring unwanted attention from the entities. Using “flesh pedestrian” allows you to discuss the entities without risking attack.
My sister and I saw a flesh pedestrian while driving at night through the desert. I was so scared it would follow us!
Someone who's texting while walking, and is completely oblivious to what's going on around them. These people have a tendency to walk into things like parking meters, light poles and fall down stairs.
Dude, I was LMAO at a pedtextrian who slammed into the parking meter this morning. Hilarious!
An awkward situation in which two pedestrians, who are on a collision course with each other, are repeatedly unsuccessful in averting one another. As one person moves to their right, the other person moves to their left and vice versa. Each time they attempt a new maneuver, the frustrated pedestrians find themselves confronted by their counterpart. To the casual observer, these two peoplemay appear to be dancing, but in reality, they both just want to get on with their lives.
These encounters are far less common in Europe – especially in Germany, where the government enforces pedestrian decorum through a stringent "bear right" policy. Pedestrian face-offs have been known to last upwards of ten seconds.
Randy: I just had a pedestrian face-off that lasted a good 15 seconds. In the end, we came to the mutual agreement that both of us should step to our right.
Dina: Wow, 15 seconds?! That's gotta be a world record or something.
