Many workplaces have developed their own lingo that incomprehensible to those outside of that environment.

Here are a few favorites. (Word, the world's meaning, what racer's mean)

5. Papa. A popular pizza joint, Biggie Smallz, or in spanish, the pope. God the Father.
6. Thanks. When someone says something great about you. When a racer tells you something true that you dont want to hear.
