do the X

Definition

An extremely dangerous dare game where someone sprints across railroad tracks while gates are closing and a train approaches—basically natural selection in action.

Example Usage

I heard some kids tried to do the X at the crossing downtown; thankfully the train was going slow enough that they made it, but they're idiots.
