float

A car in the left lane which is going up to 5 MPH over the posted speed limit on the highway, and has probably started to rack up a car line. Often driven by the elderly, a person on a cell phone, or a soccer mom, floats will rarely switch to the other lane to let traffic pass.
I had a truck on my right and a float infront of me going 65. I was screwed.

canadian flag

1) The national flag of Canada. Two vertical red stripes with a maple leaf in the center. Generic and uncreative.

2) Something that American tourists do NOT place on their backpacks when they go touring in Europe. The only people poor enough to afford to travel to another country with backpacks instead of luggage are college students and Canadians.
1) Canadian flags can often be found in general blue-collar trash havens, such as hockey games, wrestling matches, and Montrael.

2) Canadian: "You Americans are hated so much in Europe that you sew Canadian flags on your backpack, eh?"
American: "That'd be a waste of time even if we did it, because they can tell we aren't Canadian by the fact that we are actually wearing clothes that aren't plaid or jean jackets."

screamer

1) A person who makes loud noises, particularly during either sex or physical exercise.

2) A flash program with a massive shift in volume. It will usually start up low so you have to put your speakers up, then will emit a loud 'scream' literally out of nowhere.
1) I had to put a pillow on her head to keep her from waking up her parents, she was such a screamer.

2) That flash program which plays the song really low backwards is a screamer.

rush hour

1) A movie starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.

2) Evening hours when the roads begin to get congested like a fat man's arteries. Usually starts around 4 and ends at 8, reaching total gridlock at 5. Drivers during these hours seem to be more concerned with not letting you get infront of them in lane switches (by speeding up alongside of you) than their own wellbeing. They also don't want to wait more than 3 milliseconds to take a left turn even when there is oncoming traffic. Even if they broke a hundred traffic laws to get there, drivers still seem to obey the speed limit when they are the first car in traffic, while everyone else is tailgating. Argh.
1) Rush Hour was funny.

2) Rush hour is not funny.

lightning rod

During long road trips, you may come across (or rather, they'll come across you) a lightning rod. It is basically a car which has one goal on the highway... to keep in the triple digits MPH. You'll discover them most likely riding your tail if your in the left lane.

The purpose of a lightning rod is to let them go. Chances are, you aren't obeying the speed limit either and, on a long road trip, you'll want to be pushing around 80. Police fundraisers on the side of the highway will catch this guy first. Lightning rods will eventually leave the highway or disappear into the horizon, and ghost cars might creep up on you.
I followed the lightning rod while maintaining a steady 80 MPH until it eventually disappeared.

scion

Over a decade ago, Toyota revolutionized the American luxury car world with the introduction of the Lexus line. In the early 90s, the economy was booming and luxury cars were once again a hit. Toyota succeeded with the Lexus, and it remains to this day the top selling luxury car in the United States.

Now, comes a new trend. A trend which was spawned from the coke-snorting habits of Generation X. It is the ugly car trend.

Each big company has it's own hideous car. The infamous Honda Element (wannabe hummer), the Volkswagen Golf (Ricers seem to be all over this one now), the Pontiac Aztek (Anyone who pays money for that needs to have their heart ripped out on an altar, Aztec style), the PT Cruiser (You'll cruise right by any hopes of getting poontang in that one), and last and certainly least, the Chevy Avalanche (If you get in a collision, the rubber will make the other car bounce off you).

Toyota once again plans to dominate a rising line of cars with the ugly Scion. This includes the shoebox on wheels, and the wannabe Impala.
I had a Scion infront of me. A Pontiac Aztek to my right. A PT Cruiser to my left. And a Honda Element behind me. If I had one, I'd set off my car bomb and sacrifice my life to remove these hideous cars from the road.

silhouette

At night, a car that usually has a dark paint job, and no headlights on. It can literally come out of nowhere, as it is nothing but a silhouette of a vehicle.
I nearly got rammed by that silhouette when I was trying to make a left at midnight... stupid drunks.
