mexicar wave

Definition

The automotive domino effect that occurs when one driver activates their windshield wipers in a queue, inadvertently spraying the car behind them, who then retaliates with their own wipers, creating a cascading chain of reluctant window-cleaning. It's like the stadium wave, but with more passive-aggressive fluid exchange and zero coordination.

Example Usage

Traffic on the M25 came to a standstill, and someone started a mexicar wave that rippled through at least twelve cars before petering out.
