Pronunciation: pasinjərk

Sentence: Lucy is a terrible traveler. If she isn’t the driver she takes on the role of the passenjerk, twitching, sighing and stomping on the imaginary brakes every time there is some flex in the traffic flow. With her in the car it’s a good idea to leave a window down at least a crack so that her sucking air through clenched teeth doesn’t create a vacuum that cracks the windshield or cause the driver to pass out for lack of oxygen.

Etymology: passenger (a traveler on a public or private conveyance other than the driver, pilot, or crew) + jerk (a quick, sharp, sudden movement/a contemptibly obnoxious person)
