Stradar

Created by: artr

Pronunciation: strādär

Sentence: Jim gets up WAY too early in the morning to get to work. While driving down the highway there are stretches where the road is boringly familiar and music on the radio is sort of relaxing (less head banging than usual). He may start to nod off. That little voice in his head says **The road is straight. There is almost no traffic. Go ahead, close your eyes for just a second**. This is when he relies on stradar, that internal sense that the movement has shifted from linear to lateral. If it is severe, it will startle him enough to put a shot of adrenalin into his bloodstream and complete the trip with his head upright. If not, he will open all the windows, crank up the radio and sing along to to some song he may not even like all that much at the top of his lungs. Jim*s friends worry.

Etymology: stray (move without a specific purpose or by mistake) + radar (a system for detecting the presence, direction, distance, and speed of aircraft, ships, and other objects, by sending out pulses of high-frequency electromagnetic waves that are reflected off the object back to the source)
