When a car rolls slowly through a stop sign, it's often called a California stop or a California roll. But the Midwest has its own monikers for this sneaky move, including the farmer stop, the Chicago stop, and no cop, no stop. This is part of a complete episode.

We always called this a "Hollywood stop" in Arkansas and Tennessee.
