Apropos of driving insults, I remember being all chagrined at going off to college and finding out that much of the rest of the country calls slowing down at a stop sign, tapping the brakes, and zooming away a California stop. In the Bay Area, all my driver's ed teachers called it a Hollywood stop.
Now I'm all curious about what LAistas call it.
I'm very formal in my insults!
Actually, I once cracked up a friend when a guy cut me off. I flipped the finger and yelled, "Fuck you,
sir
!"

OH MY GOD, this class might kill me. AND the internet is spotty. Kill me!
Now I'm all curious about what LAistas call it.
All I've heard it called it here is a California Roll, but that wasn't a native.
In San Diego we always ranted about the Arizona drivers. I believe we called them Zoners.
We don't blame our bad drivers on a particular state, it is just, Tourists!
I always figured the red car being pulled over in a pack of speeding drivers was a matter of it being the easiest one to pick out. Bright yellow would work too. I've deserved my speeding tickets. Too damn expensive so I have slowed down.
Now I'm all curious about what LAistas call it.
In Pennsylvania, it was called the Minnesota Rolling Stop. Not a lot of Californians driving around Pennsylvania.
Me, I call it efficient.
Amy, tell the truth, your last name is Olbermann, isn't it?
Although I have learned that idiots heart "Sir" and "Madam".
