but on topic, most of these terms are still used but not to the extend I think they once were. It seems that only the guys with cars of some credibilty use these words, cept roll back, never heard that before. Is that when you roll down a hill backwards then floor it? anyway, what I'm saying is, like all slang, terms change all the time, and I'm sure when I'm older and have a kid in a 10 year old 2015 falcon he'll call it something else, and burnouts wont be cool, he'l' dosmokey bbq rubber's

^^doesn't necessarily have to be down a hill, you could throw it in reverse first to get the roll back happening, then nail it forwards.
i've got one word for all those words, hooning... well, at least that's how the gov't sees it... lmao |

G'day all I've been finding more and more that people (mainly the old fuddy duddy generation) are using the term "oxymoron" instead "dipshit" when talking on forums etc. To me this is a true dipshit and I do find it irritating... what happened to terms like idiot and ********tard or to a lesser extent shannon noll, all are clearly defined in it's description in words and on the forum (not in public of course) i would like to see the term flaming mongrel use and made famous by the great Alf. or am I just just a young whipper snapper that needs to get with the times : |

I love this thread. Thank you! When I was working at the mags the old schoolers (I was a part of them) and the younger kids had a massive argument about this. Saying it's a skid just seems ridiculous! Complete contradiction in terms. I agree.

As far as i'm aware a skid has always been locking up the brakes.
I find its people who don't really know much about cars that call burnouts 'skids' or 'wheelies'. Although the term skid can be used in some scenarios for comedic effect, ie a workmate of mine in trying to find the button to turn off TC/ESC/BS in a work car asked the question 'how do you turn the skids on?!?' which was rather funny at the time.

In my experience, "burnouts" and "skids" both happen after a heavy Mexican meal with lots of Tabasco.

When u drop it in a fully done up SSS the tyres try so hard to spin they squeak and squeal which would fit the description of a skid.
I like to use the words fry (fried), destroy (destroyed) , shred (shredded) . I like these words because it sound like the tire's life is coming or has come to an end. |

What about peely?
skid = from moving to stationary burnout = from stationary to moving The first time I ever heard this was from a kid about 6-7 asking his big brother to 'do a skid'. I guess that's where the intellect level stopped for this new breed. The ones that really dont know squat about cars other than to fit neons, blue lights and stickers pertaining that their car is some sort of god. |

No idea why but it gets to me. To me a 'wheelie' has always been lifting the front wheels up on a pushbike bike or motorbike. I agree with most on here too, a skid is what happens when the wheels lock, not spin.

Isn't an oxymoron a schmuck let loose on some metalwork with a welder?
Perhaps this guy qualifies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH3EpX4oqi0 |
