pinball driver

A driving style where the driver makes sure the car is in a position in the road that minimizes the probability of them crashing. This driving style has little consideration for the inconvenience caused to other drivers, especially those behind them. They place their car on the outside of their lane if a car is trying to pull out, and place their car on the inside of their lane if a car is intending to turn across their path. They brake hard before they have to stop so that they can roll gently to where their car should be, and accelerate hard to stop other cars changing from one lane to their lane, then match the speed of the other car creating a Mexican road block. They also keep as much distance as they can from vehicles much bigger than them, even if doing so puts them in the other vehicles blindspot. On a duel carriageway, they always stay in the outside lane because of other cars joining the road and the other car may not see them.

Look at this pinball driver. He must think his car is fitted with a cloaking device and he can't find the off switch!

Bukake

In Japanese, "Bukake" literally means "sprinkle" in English" and is used in reference to the bits of tempura batter left in the frying fat after the tempura is made, which is then sprinkled on top of other meals, such as udon noodles, to add extra flavor.

The problem occurs when the Japanese speak English and the person they are speaking to only knows the English meaning.

Japanese man: "Would you like to try my Bukake Udon?"
Native English Speaker: "WTF? No. I do not want you to cover my udon in your juices!"
