Pronunciation: brākdans

Sentence: Cindy didn*t use to enjoy her ride to work. When she didn*t get a seat, which was often, she would grab a strap and hold on for dear life. If she had stopped for coffee she would often spill it on herself or other passengers, maybe even sloshing some up her nose. Now she will get on the bus and forgo a seat even if available. The new sport is to brakedance all the way to work, holding on to nothing, swaying with every lurching turn and every sudden application of the brakes. It wakes her up so much better than a stop at Starbucks.

Etymology: Brake (a device for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle) + dance (move rhythmically to music) play off breakdancing
