Muffinz0rz 08/11/17 2:30:28 PM #1:	Okay so something that has been irking me a bit People say "tailgating" a lot when referring to someone driving too closely behind someone else. I always thought that was just "tailing." When I hear "tailgating," I picture a pregame party of barbecue, beers, food, etc. before a sporting event. Am I insane? Shouldn't the 'driving too closely behind someone' be "tailing?" It just doesn't make sense to give "tailgating" two meanings and "tailing" zero meanings. --- Not changing this sig until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.
