brodie

brodie
 n.— «Spying a largish dirt lot off the road, B. turned into it and began whipping brodies in the lot. (For the uninitiated, this is making your car spin in circles fast.) This teenage tradition probably has a little to do with the fact that whipping brodies is, marginally, fun; and probably a lot to do with the fact that in a spinning car, many things fly around in the car and can fall all over you, things like high school girls.» —“Boy Versus Car” by Skot Izzle Pfaff June 3, 2004.
