Car Meets Wall: Fibs for Friday: July 21, 2023

14 Replies

Here are my answers to the words to define for Fibbing Friday, July 21, 2023:

  1. Fo-shizzle: The un-fo-tunate end to my housekeeper Yolanda’s first (and last) driving lesson—driving my car with me in the passenger seat.

  2. Crunk: Parking sound effect made during  Yolanda’s first/last driving lesson. (Said car having been parked head-on against a brick wall at a very rapid speed.)

  3. Booyah: My response once we had exited the car and saw that the car had in fact been totaled!!!

  4. Gnarly: Sound of an epithet expressed through gritted teeth.

  5. Outtie: How one could describe my wall  with a car (mine) jutting through it .

  6. Phat: Magnified one thousand times, the sound of a car hitting a brick wall.

  7. What’s Crackalackin? The sound of a shattered windshield as it releases and falls to the ground.

  8. Cowabunga: What I should have said instead of my actual statement as the car hit the wall.

  9. Ankle biters: A description of my teeth upon impact, before withdrawing them from where they’d come in contact with my lower leg.

  10. All that and a bag of chips. How I explained what was left of my wall after they’d removed the corpse of my car.

(No sympathy posts, please. This actually happened 3 years ago, so both the wall and I have recovered enough for me to laugh about it and be grateful neither of us was seriously injured, as you can see from the response above.)
