It is for when two folks are in a relationship and something needs to change, or slow down, or whatever and needs to be fixed to prevent someone from getting slaughtered.
Not to be confused with "break up".

"Hey, slow down lady. You are being all whiny, we need to brake up so you wont be all kinds of squeaky anymore."

The brake-tapper is a particularly aggressive and/or fast driver who comes barreling up to the car ahead of him/her and tail gates at such a close proximity that he/she ends up tapping the brakes to avoid rear-ending the poor schlub in front. This usually goes on until one party turns.
Followers behind the brake-tapper should take note that just because he/she is hitting his/her brakes, those at a safe distance don't necessarily even need to brake themselves. It is especially annoying and careful attention is imperative.

You: What the damn, why are we braking?
Me: We aren't. That guy in front of us is just a basement-dwelling neckbearded brake-tapper.

Korean Braking as the act of an inexperienced or incompetent driver believing that the brake pedal on a vehicle has only two positions, none or fully applied. When Korean braking is used occupants of the vehicle can expect to experience unpleasant g-forces from either the car screeching to a stop or the vehicle behind them that was caught off guard. As the name hints, this is common practice in Korea.
There was another pile up today on I-35, some driver that was korean braking in the fast lane made a semi smash into him and jack knife.

When you're in the midst of receiving a sloppy beej and she gives a hearty blow that produces a rippling sound, similar to that of a Jake brake.
I went to the local truck stop and received one hell of a Jake Brake from Tammy the lot lizard....good thing nobody lit a match because there was diesel spillage everywhere.

Speeding in front of another driver and then immediately applying the brake, causing this driver to have to stop quickly as well - testing the brakes on their car while evening the score. Usually used as a retaliatory measure against a stupid driver who has pissed you off. Works well on hypermilers.
As a side note - Brake testing should under no circumstances be performed while your wife/girlfriend is in the car. They don't appreciate the need for immediate retribution.

"Kevin brake tested the fuck out of that guy!"
Kevin said "I'm gonna brake test the fuck out of this guy - hang on!"

Short for the Jacobs Engine Brake, a secondary braking system used on large deisel trucks like fire engines. Used with automatic transmissions, usually on trucks that carry a heavy load. The system uses the compression of the engine as resistance to slow the drivetrain. Beneficial because it reduces wear and overheating problems with brakes. Causes the engine to make a great deep sound that can be heard all around.
I would have burned the brakes right off that rig if it weren't for the Jake on there.
We were going down the hill in this neighborhood and when the Jake Brake kicked, the sound set everyone's car alarm off.
