cat throw

An informal term used by GM engineers to describe the space between a car's tire and fender, where a cat would be thrown after being run over.

The cat throw on the new Impala is pretty narrow.

Left Foot Lucy

A church organist, typically an older woman, who plays the pedals like those of a spinet organ, i.e., using only the toe of the left foot. The result is a choppy bass line that will make any real organist cringe.

Wow, the music at church was awful today. Old Left Foot Lucy must be off her meds.
