Rip a stitch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Rip a stitch'

Similar in meaning to the old theater adage 'break a leg' used to wish someone goodluck before they take the stage The phrase 'break a leg, rip a stitch' was originally coined by the actor /painter/writer Hank Cheyne Garcia. He had originally said "dont rip a stitch" to a friend who had had oral surgery a few hours before going to perform onstage in a play. That night his friend ripped a stitch on stage and bled during the play. The following night hank coined the opposite , 'rip a stitch,' so as not to jinx his friend with the same intent as the colloquialism 'break a leg,' basically saying the opposite with the intention of boding him good luck on stage. He later combined the two phrases together 'break a leg, rip a stitch' and thus a new theater term was born. This phrase is now being used in the Los Angeles theater community.

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
