Racing term: A
bearer of bad news. Usually directed at someone who is having a pretty nice day. Occasionally the message will be
cryptic and/or coded, and will need to be repeated, forcing the listener to slow down and
re-evaluate his/her life.
eg.1) Driver 2, driver 1 is faster than you. Driver 1 is faster than you. Can you
confirm that you understand this message? eg.2) Not to sound like a Smedley here baby, but you could be a little
quicker in
Sector 2. Oh, and you have a spring stuck in your head...sorry.
