Ewww-turn or Whew-turn: The kind of turn executed by cars or other vehicles as they dart across multiple lanes to turn left in front of oncoming traffic. Observers use ewww-turn to describe this maneuver; participants call it a whew-turn, as in ""did you see the ewww-turn that guy just made? Why couldn't he have just waited for a real break in the traffic?" or "we were so late that I had to make a whew-turn into the parking lot...I couldn't even wait for the traffic!"

To rattle one's salad: (v.) To make a show of eating healthy foods; to gloat about one's 'proper' diet; to display a kind of smug satisfaction about one's food choices, as in "I know I'm getting kind of tedious about this health thing - I catch myself bragging about how much I ran on the treadmill and I rattle my salad in front of those guys every single day."
Salad-rattling: A display of one's healthy eating habits.
