west end left turn

n. You're at a traffic light trying to turn left. You can turn on green when there's no traffic, but there's always traffic at this intersection. You pull out into the middle of the intersection, wait until your light turns red, and turn when the oncoming traffic stops for the red light and before the traffic from the cross street starts going on their green light. Two or three cars turn behind you as well. Originated on West End Avenue in Nashville, Tennessee, because you'll never make a left turn off that street if you don't do a West End left turn.

If a cop sees you, he'll give you a ticket for running a red light.
