joey

Definition

Ski slope terminology for an inexperienced skier who carves across the entire trail like they're mowing a lawn, oblivious to everyone behind them. Named after baby kangaroos for their awkward, unpredictable movements. They're the reason experienced skiers develop trust issues and defensive skiing techniques.

Example Usage

I was trying to hit that run fast, but some joey was doing pizza slices across the whole mountain.
