Guy in London Talking on Phone Crosses the Street Gets Hit by a Car
London, A pedestrian is struck by a car and thrown into the air while crossing the road with his phone to his ear. The 47-year-old can be seen turning 180 degrees when the car drives into him at speed on Friday, but thankfully he only suffered 'minor injuries'. The vehicle stopped at the scene in Forest Gate, London, and no arrests were made but the driver is assisting police with an ongoing investigation. The man looks to his right and behind him before crossing Katherine Road. But when he reaches the middle of the road, he glances to his left and speeds up as he sees a car hurtling towards him. The 47-year-old man suffered minor injuries in the incident, which are said to be non life-changing or non life-threatening. He remains in a stable condition and no arrests have been made. |

I'm from Arizona, but I think, in England, this is known as "Mashing the Banger". Or something else. I speak better Leprechaun than I do British English.  |

Re: Guy in London Talking on Phone Crosses the Street Gets Hit by a Car
Well, "Banger" would probably be interpreted to mean "sausage" ... so maybe the US translation might be "Pounding the Johnson"?

Maybe the word you are looking for is "wanker"? (A character from Mork & Mindy).

People too busy to really pay attention.  Cellphones. The bane of society.  |

Re: Guy in London Talking on Phone Crosses the Street Gets Hit by a Car
I blame the car. The ped timed his crossing based on traffic going the posted speed. If the driver wasn't speeding, the ped would have completed his crossing before the car got him.

I blame the cell phone. They are inherently evil. You can’t hold people responsible for their actions. Blame the inanimate objects in the vicinity, goddamnit!
