Randomly telling someone that they're awesome, just because you feel like it.
"You're awesome!"
"Thanks! Why?"
"Drive-by awesome."
A booty call lasting less than one hour, done on the way to
(a) meet with friends so you don't just think about getting laid the whole time
(b) a party so you don't try too hard to impress girls
(c) a date so that if you end up having sex with HER, you don't bust immediately
guy 1: Dude, want to head to Tony's kegger?
guy 2: Nahh I gotta go to Chelsea's.
guy 3: Bro you're bailing on us for a date with that hog?
guy 2: Fuck no. It's totally a drive by date. I'll see you at Tony's in 40 minutes.
guy 1: Sick, you know Tiffany's gonna be there.
guy 3: That chick from biology he has a hard on for?
guy 1: Oh yeah. I see what you're doing bro!
A tool which the U.S.S. Discovery NCC-1031 Uses To navigate the mycelial network.
Imagine a microscopic web that spans the entire cosmos. An intergalactic ecosystem. An infinite number of roads leading everywhere."
– Gabriel Lorca, 2256 ("Context Is for Kings")
The displacement-activated spore hub drive, commonly shortened to spore drive or s-drive, was an organic propulsion system the Federation experimented with during the 2240s and 2250s. The technology used mycelium spores harvested from Prototaxites stellaviatori to jump or leap across the mycelial network. During such jumps, the ships were not in normal space but in the mycelial plane. (DIS: "Context Is for Kings", "Choose Your Pain")

Origins and concept Edit
Mycelium spores
P. stellaviatori mycelium spores, key to the drive technology
The spore drive was based on the ideas of two colleagues and friends, Paul Stamets and Straal, who had been working on the concept since 2244. They were eager to get to the "veins and muscles" that held the galaxy together.
Their research was based on the insight that at a quantum level, there was no difference between biology or physics, and specifically that spores were not only the progenitors of panspermia, but also the building blocks of energy across the universe. This allowed Stamets and Straal to approach physics as biology. As such, the equations involved were reminiscent of both quantum astrophysics and biochemistry.
Driving while under the influence of alcohol. Another term for drinking and then driving.
"I've had 5 shots, but I need to get my car home, looks like it's time for a Thirsty-Drive!"
Passing gas when you need to take a huge dump, typically smelling much worse than a normal fart.
I need to drop a huge dumper so every time I rip ass I'm driving on the shoulder.

1. "That balla wanted to drive the rack, he was calling for the rock all game."
2. "I went to drive the rack on that broad, but she was having none of it."
A small "condition" derived from Daydreaming, where a series of pleasant thoughts distract one's attention whilst driving.
This can often lead to road accidents, and general negligent driving.
Johnny suddenly snapped out of his Drive Dream when he realized he had been on the wrong side of the road for the past 3 minutes.
"Hey man, that journey to yours went so quick. I drive Dreamt all the way here".
