Oh goodness! I don't blame either of you. The only times I've ever heard that term used for that action was with my high school buddies. If you think about it though, the term makes sense.

I have once used that term to a doctor colleague of mine, he is Muslim and I just got tired seeing him changing gears. I caught him at the start of a 12 hour shift and it just ruins your day so shouted at him cheekily "Doc, is that 4th gear?" Lo and behold he turned pink like a lobster.

HAHAHAHAHA! That just cracked me up! I wish I had the gumption to try a line like that the next time someone does it in my presence.
