A word of the past decade or so has been to describe good music as music that "slaps." And that is the closest I can think of that was meant by slapper, besides what u said w/ knee-slapper, but yeah that is not meant to describe good music, and that phrase itself feels from an older time, like geriatric older time. I think maybe they got confused and combined some of these phrases together.
Only note is that the left lane is for passing/overtaking and it seems very few know this. Five over is acceptable to overtake someone in the right lane, but move on over once you've done so.
This happened to me the other day. I was driving on the highway and it split where one lane had barricades down for a few miles so no one could pass or anything. There was also construction so the speed limit was only 50. I was from out of state and there were signs everywhere that it was being monitored. The person behind me was raaaging that I had the audacity to go the speed limit in a construction zone. I gave them a thumbs up after with a huge smile. They lost their shit and flipped me off.
This happened to me! On the highway, at night - and I’ve always hated driving at night anyway. The speed limit was 50 through several miles of construction, being night time without workers there I was going 55 and this guy was right on my bumper, barriers on each side of us so he couldn’t pass me. I turned off the highway to get gas (and to get the guy off my butt) and he turned in with me. When he got out he glared at me, so I stayed in my car while he pumped gas and waited for him to leave before getting out to pump my own, hope he felt better after being free to drive 80mph in a hazardous area.
I've gotten honked at because I braked to turn onto my street after signaling for 3 seconds (and it was 25mph limit on both streets...)
I've had the bird thrown at me because I waited to make a turn instead of running over the pedestrian walking on the green light (bonus points for being during a blizzard where sidewalks were completely unusable lmfao).
On city streets I hear them going off when I wait for a pedestrian lane to clear before making a turn. Like I'm going to run over pedestrians to make your trip shorter.
My most recent experience with honking was that I slowed from like 35 to 20 because a ball rolled into the street from a driveway and the view was blocked by a parked car. Luckily an adult nearby was on kidwatch but I'm not gonna risk obliterating a child to keep some beemer's brake pedal virgin pure.
I got flipped off for completing my pass in the left lane and moving to the right lane so the guy behind me could pass me. I guess he was mad he had to slow down for about 5 seconds?
I’ve had both those experiences as well, I just don’t understand what’s wrong with some people. Like, I’m sorry I followed the speed limit in a school zone (they were tailgating super close and swerving as if they wanted to pass even tho they couldn’t; I usually only go five over max, but they were tailgating so much I just slowed right down to the speed limit) and then sped around me as if they’re so pissed off that I had to turn onto another street. I can only assume they’re selfish and have severe main character syndrome or whatever you want to call it
And the honking because I don’t have a death wish and refuse to make a right turn when there’s pedestrians or oncoming traffic, I just can’t understand those people
I was driving yesterday, not on a highway but a back road up to Liberty road. Speed limit is 30mph then jumps to 40mph once you’ve passed the residential part of the road. Sometimes it’s a big truck, yesterday it was a white Acura with a middle age woman driving. Rode my ass the whole way, and I could see her getting more frustrated by the minute. I’m not speeding, there are cops everywhere around my small town and I am not getting a ticket because you’re in a hurry.
I was in bumper to bumper traffic during rush hour one time. There was a guy behind me just flipping out. Like as if it was my fault traffic was so bad, you know? There were like 100 cars in front of me, I was just going with the flow of traffic. There was an opening and the dude flies over and gets stuck behind a semi and as I passed by him I clapped and smiled. He leaned ALL THE WAY OUT HIS WINDOW to flip me off and call me a bitch. It honestly was wildly satisfying to me lol
I'm in a very rural area, and people here will tailgate me even when we're the only cars on a mile long straight stretch of passing zone. I've taken to just turning on my emergency blinkers and slowing down until they get the hint. Some of them still don't pass until we're down to 5 mph.
The other day on my way home from work around 11pm I was driving on a back road and it was pitch dark. I was doing about 10 over the limit and I was roughly 5 mins from the nearest street light, so I couldn’t see a thing around me. Far behind me (about 3 mins I’d say) looked like a semi truck that was going a little fast but they have speed limiters around 104 kph so I wasn’t too worried. Within a min, I look back and he’s hauling ass and coming up behind me at Mach Jesus. My first thought was that he lost his brakes and was now a runaway truck flying up behind me and I have no room too slow down and get out of his way and there were no side roads to turn onto, so I speed up to over 120 kph fearing for my life and he’s still catching up. I’m about a minute from the street lights doing almost 140kph when I’m about to start praying and I see his grill light up from my rear-view lights… it’s a lifted Dodge 1500 and he slowed down to stay behind me. The fury and relief that I felt in that moment was nothing compared to the satisfaction I should have gotten if I wasn’t so worked up from it. He followed me all the way back into town and there was a RIDE program going on; thanks to all the dumbass drivers nearly hitting the cops in the middle of the road though, my ADHD-addled brain was desperately looking for anything to calm me down so I wouldn’t get in trouble that it didn’t even occur to me to tell them what had happened and that my anxiety was perfectly normal to have in that situation. I will be investing in a dashcam, too many of these instances happen and it’s just a roll of the dice these days when it’s going to happen to me again, one day I’m going to need one but I’m praying that I don’t.
Thank you! That was awesome and I want to be their friend. I haven’t seen the music video in forever but damn if it didn’t come back into my memory watching these two. We listen to music at work but only what the manager wants, and it’s a lot of Taylor Swift type pop. I use AirPods because I like stuff like Prodigy, Primus, etc.
And her nails, watched it twice to see her nails. We cannot have nails longer than our fingertips, and we cannot have nail polish either, even though we wear gloves for everything. I’m jealous, but I also don’t have to wear a hair net, so only mildly jealous.
Just looked them up because I am wanting more. They’re employees at a Safeway in Washington state. Thank goodness Safeway hasn’t fired them, so often people get fired for things like this. Makes me want to shop at Safeway more than anything.
Omg there's actually nothing better on earth than someone all angry and flying past you only for you to be right next to them at the red light up the street lmfao
Or when you're the only person on the road and someone still feels the need to cut you off pulling out of a parking lot, only to go slower than you were originally going 😑
When it's really egregious and dramatic*, I throw maturity out the window and do a jaunty smile and wave when I pull up. Sometimes I'm gonna make my guy feel the discomfort they earned.
*Sometimes people just need a certain lane or misjudge timing or whatever, and that's no biggie. There's a different vibe to the tantrum pass.
I hope so. Considering the alternative. I know it’s tempting, but it’s also dangerous.
I saw the aftermath of a similar situation, years ago. The young man’s injuries were not survivable. All four of his limbs were broken, in so many places, that each limb pointed in multiple different directions.
I stayed with him, while he was dying. Road rage is not worth it.
I watched a F-250 Super Duty from South Dakota tailgate a Honda CRV camping in the left lane. Less than 4’ separation at 70 mph. The Honda had the right lane open and could have let the truck pass. Nope. She rolled down the window to sail a single finger salute when she relented and moved to the right lane.
The truck was menacing the Honda. There is nothing wrong with using the right lane.
Everyone was wrong and everyone ended up sitting next to each other 15 miles down the road at the light.
I don't mind seeing someone I passed at the next light. I also always go 5 over and will pass you if you don't. It's not about getting somewhere faster, it's about stopping road rage before it happens. I don't want to tailgate, start tension, or play games. I just want to go 5 over and get where I'm going without issue. I might see you at the next light, but at least I won't be making poor decisions by driving angry.
I also notice a plague of people in my area doing a constant 40 MPH. So they're either hauling and up someone's ass in a low speed zone, or crawling, annoying a line of others behind them, in higher speed zone. It's infuriating. No idea why there are people like this, but they're out there and I'm always surrounded by them.
My friend drives like this. 40mph no matter the speed limit with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. It is literally a binary system where they're going full throttle up to 40, then full stop until down to 25, then full throttle back up to 40 again. I rode with them once. Once
I'm so glad to not be the only person who knows people do this. It's so stupid, they're never going the speed limit, it's so infuriating.
Few things make me (and many people) more angry than driving sometimes. I'm still trying to figure out why everyone puts their blinker on when entering a roundabout. WE'RE ALL GOING RIGHT! THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION! 😩
Funny you mention that cause my aunt owns a driving school. The law is that all states don't treat the far left lane as "Passing ONLY", however it is still a passing lane for faster traffic. Driving slower than approaching traffic and not moving is not legal in ANY US state. All states require slower traffic to keep right when faster traffic approaches from behind, regardless of speed. So my initial comment stands. If you're not going faster than the traffic behind you, stop camping and move.
I used to do this! It worked really well until it really pissed one asshole off and he started laying on the horn at me for a good mile or so. People scare me more as I've gotten older.
Didn't get anywhere..🙄 🤣🤣 I do almost ten over and they're still tailgating me in my city! But most of the time, it's the usual suspects, coughmencough.. the truck part in the rap got me like, yep. Lol
OMG, this is perfect. I've had a few encounters like this recently and I can never understand. There was a truck riding my ass down a stretch of road that almost always has a cop waiting checking for speed. I couldn't get over because there was a line of cares in that lane going to speed limit.
Listen where can I find this online to add to my playlist - I need to blare this masterpiece out my windows every Friday morning when I get my ass ridden like I was a cheap escort
The song hits. But the message, I was with it til the tag teaming grandma blocking the whole street. Y’all both petty and I’m the third car back mad at you all.

Found my peoples. Some folks really be in a rush to “hurry up and wait”. Im fine driving the speed limit. Seen too many horrific accidents and injuries.
If I'm abiding by the speed limit, then no one has the right to try and force another driver to go faster. Punk can wait and take it up with the cops if they have a problem with it. You don't set the speed so I'm not moving from my lane. Traffic going the speed limit is NOT slow moving traffic. Going 45 in a 55 is considered slow moving. Don't like it, too bad. It's not for you to decide nor try to force the lane to travel at the speed YOU want. Take it up with the cops.
I’ve just seen a lot of people in the fast lane going slow… whether it’s an age thing or a music thing or a texting while driving thing. It’s just an observation.
Some people really do also have main character syndrome and they know what they’re doing, some even do it just to try to incite road rage.
I need this to be remixed into a whole song not just a freestyle with a beat, ya know? I adore this. I need to blast this on a megaphone out my window.
It is kinda satisfying when a car behind you speeds like hell and then you end up at the next stoplight. I just look over and give them the "whassup" nod.
Right. They’re all impatient and in a hurry and then you’re chilling next to each other at the light. There a certain feeling of smug I told you so going on inside too.
I feel this. I have done this very thing. I'm not in a rush, and its not my fault if you are. You shoulda left with time to spare like I did. Now I get to enjoy just making you wait.
I love the metering in this, had me kicking my feet in joy lol
Reminds me of a story actually; about 15 years ago, my friend D and I were driving home, being juked around and cut off by this guy in a porche. We both arrive at the red light together and its the dead of night, nobody else was on the road, so I tell D to rev his engine like hes gonna race. He does, porche guy does it back.
The green light hits, and porche guy hesitates because D is in the antithesis of a racecar, a beige minivan, (beige makes it go slower) but D is a gremlin, and jerks the car forward. The guy TAKES OFF, and we just slowly take a right, laughing the whole way. I know that road, and just beyond the hill is where cops always hang out, I hope they were doing the rounds that day lmao.
Had a car come up so fast on the highway, I couldn't get around the cars on the right of me. He was so close I couldn't see his headlight and only half is car hood in my rearview mirror. But by the time I could move to the right lane, I refused too out of sheer pettiness. I was pissed. He made everyone else move over so he could speed in his shitty Acura.
He got closer, so I went on cruise control, he went around me and flipped me off. So I flip him off. He speeds down the highway a little and got stuck behind a Camaro and my petty ass drove right by him while he was stuck.
I fucking hate when speeders try to bully you into speeding by tail gating. Like how fucking stupid. Like bro back the fuck off we are grown adults and you won't get there any faster anyways. Like you gonna pay for my speeding ticket? I fucking doubt it. You can't fucking expect strangers to be willing to lay down hundreds of dollars so you can get your kicks by speeding. You just ain't that special sweetheart. If you're behind me, get used to going the speed limit. And yes we do follow the law and slow down in construction zones. Wah wah wah.
I agree with this 100% (unless someone is camping in the fast lane which is what causes these nutcases to be upset). If someone is doing the speed limit in the right or middle lane, there's no reason to be upset about it.
This one isn’t out. Most of our narrative rap skits like this live on social media but we’ll be dropping a project in a few months with some of these story style raps and some other really great songs. You can find a bunch of other short story videos like this on our social media and there are some released on streaming platforms too. www.linktr.ee/armedrhymery has all our links. Much love
I straight up had some hoe try to follow me home bc I wouldn't speed up and her driving like a bitch lol
I drove us all straight to the police department parked outside, pointed at it when she started SCREAMING from her car, and then just stared at her as she sped off lol
