Draft My Flivver

Come with me, follow me (A “Flivver” was one of the slang terms for a Ford Model T but over time the usage grew to encompass all makes and model cars. Drafting is a term used in racing whereby one car would pull up right behind the car in front. If the rear car can stay in the slipstream of the other car then he/she could maintain the same high speed but also reduce his/her fuel consumption which results in fewer pit stops.)

Usage:
"I gotta squat for a jiffy wiz in The Gran Manzana and I've been head sparkin’ ‘bout pounding that Coney fillet in a twee fire-in-the-hole.
The dewclaws are up. Ya wanna draft my flivver?
Bang the pipes by 5:00 or hold peace.”

Translation:
"I’ve got a layover in New York City and was thinking about getting a hotdog in a quaint restaurant.
I’m enthusiastic. Do you want to come along?
Call me by 5:00 or it will be too late."

Power Carve

Verb
a type of manual locomotion whereby a person can propel a kick scooter (or similar device), without using their feet (or anything else) to swipe the pavement, all by manipulating his/her weight and cutting the handlebars back and forth (first demonstrated by “The T-Guy” on YouTube)

Dave crushed the longest glide competition on his Razor scooter when he ripped out a power carve at the end, pushing out an ever increasing distance until the judges, out of frustration, asked him to “stop”.

Please forgive me if I’m getting too technical for you. It’s just that I’ve been workin’ in the doojigger biz since I was knee-high to a whatchamacallit and I rarely interact with you civilians.”
