n., a
used car gifted to a college student but that formerly belonged to a formerly living relative. Easily recognizable by its vast size and American make. Originated at
the University of Virginia in the 90's. Also known as "dead relative", "dead grandpa", or "
dead uncle".
Josh, your 1985 Lincoln
Town Car is clearly a dead grandma. It takes
up 2 spaces in the dorm parking lot and smells of
thanatopsis.
