MINI USA Words of the Day (Full List)

Some of you may remember the story we ran on the MINIUSA words of the day a couple months back. At that time we decided to not release the entire list of words as the feature has just been launched. However, since all the words have been posted on MINIUSA at least once we feel like we can now share the full list. Enjoy!

    Ha ha! Some of those are great! Has anyone here used any of these in conversation yet?

  • fishbulb

    Rockupied is the best! :)

    thanks for the whole list

    Spalker n. A vehicle that follows shoppers in the parking lot in hopes of getting their spot.

    My wife and I always call these poeple “parking vultures”.

    And for those who live in NYC (and other hard-to-find-parking places) we refer to “parking karma” as what you have when you stumble onto that rare spot quickly.

  • O(=^=)O Capn

    Yeah, My wife doesn’t like it when I use Farking spot in front of the kids. lol

  • Pipe

    Messing with Spalkers is great. Walk up a different row of cars, stop at one and pretend it’s yours – get out your keys, fake like you’re opening the door. Then walk two rows over to where you parked leaving the Spalker hanging.

    Loads of fun during holiday shopping season!

  • JBfromOZ

    I cant believe after all of that they dont include Cargument in the list.

    This is a classic case of an argument about cars, based purely on subjective judgement so there is no possibility of either party being correct, and ensuring long and heated discussion

  • xplode

    that’s because it’s not applicable to the mini community – we all know our cars are the best, and we’re all correct. no cargument.

  • JBFromOZ

    Hahahehahhe I gues you have not seen any of the comments on this forum regarding the following topics: Automatic Transmission Colour (OMG those red mirror caps) Traveller Concept Aftermarket performance mods vs JCW mods etc etc now this response doesnt quite qualify as a cargument, but it comes close ;-)

  • Meredith Danada

    My teacher uses these mini words of the week (she has a red mini cooper) andmakes us guess what the words mean. If we guess right then we get rewarded. Now I will have the whole entire list of words!

    Pretty Creative stuff here.

  • Linzo Shallman

    I am in the same class as Meredith Danada here and I just wanted to say that even though she knows what the words are I going to get to class first and be able to tell are Cooper loving teacher the meaning of the word. ( by the way are teacher named her Mini Cooper
    KRITTER)

  • fjaldjflajldfja;jfa;jfla

    HI, My wife also doesnt like me using the word farking spot in front of our 2 kids.

  • Linzo shallman

    I am in the same class as Meredith Danada here and I just wanted to say that even though you know what the word means I am still going to get to class earlier than you to tell our Cooper loving teacher the meaning of the weeks Mini word. FYI Our teacher named her mini cooper KRITTER ( so if you ever see it driving down the highway, or any where else, HONK)
