driving

A u-ey is a U-turn Aussie-style: quick, casual, and usually slightly questionable. Someone yelling “chuck a u-ey!” means the driver has missed the turn—again. It’s a staple of road trip vocabulary, especially when relying on a mate with terrible navigation skills. Doing a u-ey is practically a sport in tight Aussie streets, and half the time it feels like a small miracle when executed cleanly.

Mate, chuck a u-ey before we end up lost.
