Hot Rod terms that are no longer in common usage

Toasting/Roasting the tires and laid a patch.

 

"Drag It Out"..."Run What You Brung"..."Two Cool Shorts Sitting Side By Side"..."Three On The Tree"....

 

"I made it myself"
replaced by "Speedway had it on sale"

 

Bored or punched? As in, "he don't know if it's bored or punched"

 

Shaved hood and deck , motion lotion , gutted muffler . plow job

 

Oh man...I see so many things that could be done with the wordings in this post......if someone was to rearrange the words a bit...and they would still be slang terms ...just telling a totally different story....but it wouldn't be hot rod related...damn...its sitting right there...man... then with the name "Purdy Swoft" worked in with the rest of the words...oh..the possibilities....

"I took it out and 'blew the cobs out of it' and it runs lots better now." I haven't heard that for some time, I guess because modern OHV/OHC , injected and computerized cars don't tend to carbon up and soot up like the carbureted stuff we used to (I still do) drive. A guy brought some multi-wire carbon scrapers to the Model A meeting a couple years ago and asked what they were for. Only one guy knew.

 

How about a thread for traditional terms that are used now but we're never used back in the day but people think they were?

Patina.....

 

I tried that about a year ago but it got rejected in an hour.. I started with Stance and Patina added Bubbletop and a few got in but then it was gone...may make it now.

 

Bremerton Raceway, operated by the "Handler's Racing Association", since 1959. When I was a member, no one knew what "Handler's" meant. I had to bring with me to a meeting, the Sox and Martin Book of Drag Racing. In the back of the book was a section of "terms". Turns out, a "handler", was the driver of a car, hence the name. One of our announcers at the time, always said, "look at how well those guys "handle" the brooms", when we were cleaning up an oil down. Going into the 60th year now at Bremerton Raceway!!!

Yes, Like calling an early Chevy II a "shoebox".

 

I hear most of these on a regular basis. Though I do hang out with @porknbeaner and who knows what language that guys speaking lol

Far out

 

Patina and vagina
Should rhyme but it doesn't
WHY ???

Vageena pateyena

 

IDK. But a vagina sitting on some patina is good. Patina on a vagina, not good.

 

@blowby that literally made me laugh out loud!!

 

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

 

The kids today think "the pits" is where you put the deodorant.

 

As Larry The Cable Guy says:
"I don't care who you are, that's funny right there"!

 

How about "tomb" and "comb".....absolutely makes no sense. But then I'm not planning on having a comb in my pocket when I'm in the tomb.
Fawnicks almost killed me in grade school.

 

"Daddy-O" became "Who's yer daddy?" which has lately become "Baby Daddy".

Literally laughing my ass off!!

I think this thread has a mile or two on it and I may have posted this before but I can remember people saying "Hawged out" for bored or punched.

 

I made thru the hole thread heres a few..... I have heard shard down on it I believe from spinning out in gravel ….. another friend who is gone but not forgotten would say "Tennessee go fasters" for mud flaps & "Tennessee jack stand" for a wheel & tire . ... coolbeans Dad used to say that thing doesn't have enough power to pull a sick whore off a piss pot .. . Mom would say come on Nelly Belle to every car she ever drove. Roy Rogers Jeep reference …. Doing a state boy for sliding from one direction to another .easier with a hand brake between the seats may have just been a local term.... had to laugh when I read blewey pipes . Got an 80 year old buddy that uses that term.. I thought he was the only one.
