The feeling of smugness and elation you feel as you approach traffic lights and they turn to green without you needing to brake or change down. This is often tripled if you manage to do this in the outside lane of a dual carriageway and you overtake 3 or more cars stationary on the inside lane that have had to stop.

 

[McTavish]

The feeling, on leaving the house, that there is something that you have forgotten to bring with you.

 

[Wellesley]

There is no word for the feeling of hurt, confusion and insulting bewilderment that I felt when that Steve Foster bloke pm'd me, threatening to ban me from his score predictor thread, just because I predicted today's result, correctly I might add, eighty minutes into today's game. Now I might be over reacting, but it was almost as if he was accusing me of cheating!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

A word to describe those more interested in the attendance at a football match than the result
