Refers to how you feel when the electric switch on your car's starter is faulty, and so you sometimes get just a sarcastic-sounding "click" when you turn the key; you then hafta lie down on da
wet/muddy ground and crawl under da car to tap on da starter's
metal casing with a
hammer to get it to whirl over.
I
hate it when members of da local deadbeat riff-raff ask me for rides but are never able to pay for my gas, and so I never get very solannoyed if my car's engine chooses not to budge that time when I turn da key, since it totally "lets me off da hook" --- I
don't feel particularly concerned because I secretly know
dat it's just an intermittent connection inside da starter which is easy to remedy with just a
hammer-rap or two, but of course da dim-witted miscreants who asked me for da ride
don't have a clue what da problem is --- they assume dat my car is totally inoperative, and so they just irritably hop back out and sulkily stomp off down da road to look for some other
soft-hearted sucker from whom to bum a ride.
