Talk:Ghostriding

For what it's worth, we had the following conversation on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles. --Interiot 19:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Is ghostriding a well-defined phrase? My gut feeling is to AfD it as a neologism, but I wanted to run it by you guys first. --Interiot 12:00, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sadly, I think it's a real term. It's a neologism in that it's a relatively newly made up term for a new craze...but it wasn't made up by the person who wrote the article.  It passes the 'google test'.  You can find a dozen ghostriding (or ghostridin') references.  Hopefully a few well deserved Darwin awards will fix this. . SteveBaker 23:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Are the google hits consistent with the definition given in the article? (or with each other?)  The google hits that I could find seemed to use ghostriding to mean a wide variety of things, often unrelated to the current article.  So I was wondering if someone more hip than I had heard it consistently used in real life or something. --Interiot 23:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't this be under movie stunts, the only place I have ever seen a person exit a moving vehicle is in action movies. Otherwise I think that this article which essentially is a defenition of a slang term should be moved to the wikitionary or for that matter deleted.

 * The Google hits are indeed completely consistent with the article. There are MANY videos out there of stupid people opening the driver-side door while the car is in motion - stepping out so one foot is on the window-sill of the door - the other is on the driver seat.  More adventurous people then either jump onto the ground and run alongside the car while it's rolling down the street at maybe 5mph - other people climb onto the hood or onto the roof while the car is still moving with nobody behind the wheel.   There are multiple movies of cars slamming into trees and telephone polls...you name it.  These appear to be ordinary people - not stuntmen or actors.  Sadly, this is all too real and the term "Ghostriding" is indeed the most common term for it. Geez...idiots. SteveBaker 04:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe this stub should be merged with the Stupidity article. ;-)  Signature brendel  19:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Correct me if I am wrong, but how the hell do you ghost ride the whip a BICYCLE?!--24.5.196.208 00:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Ghost riding the whip
This needs more of an explanation. Is it the same thing as Ghostriding proper? The article treats it as if it is something else entirely. Here's the Urbandictionary page. --Liface 02:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
