Welcome to SPOOF MANIAC!
We are indebted to a British comedian for the word spoof. Sometime in the 19th century Arthur Roberts (1852-1933) invented a game called Spoof, which involved trickery and nonsense. The first recorded reference to the game in 1884 refers to its revival. It was not long before the word spoof took on the general sense "nonsense, trickery," first recorded in 1889. The verb spoof is first recorded in 1889 as well, in the sense "to deceive." These senses are now less widely used than the noun sense "a light parody or satirical imitation," first recorded in 1958, and the verb sense "to satirize gently," first recorded in 1927.

What's with this breed of drivers that makes them so irksome?Just the other day I was cruising down our state-of-the-art expressway exquisitely laid down with tax payers’ monies.Things were cool, everybody was driving as usual and we get the regular mix of drivers – the inconsiderate taxi drivers who is somewhere between a hawk and a very hungry hyena, the reckless young drivers in daddy’s executive rides, the posers who drives cars that looks like something else other than what the manufacturer intended it to look like, the “under aged” drivers who drive puny cars like Getz, Picanto and the likes, the dreaded P- platers and one interesting lot would be the Civic drivers …. Most often than not whenever I see a young dude behind the wheel of a 1993 -1999 registered Civic I could almost guarantee a myriad of sound effects… the sound before Vtec and after Vtec is different according to some Civic drivers …it’s this change in “sound” that triggers their adrenalin rush.I believe if we were to list the types of drivers on our roads it will take pages but then again …why not ….list away!
