The Fenderberg

It's been way too serious around here.  I need something fun.

I was talking with a friend of mine, said a woman done hurt his pride...oh wait, that's Tom Petty and a really great song, by the way but, not where I was going with this...I was talking to my fellow winter lover about cars and snow while she was kicking the hell out of her truck, when this explosion of ice fell off she cheered - "I got that FENDERBERG!!"

I hadn't heard that term and I wasn't quite sure I had heard her correctly so, well, being the nerd that I am, I looked it up in my handy dandy Urban Dictionary app on my phone, like all good nerds do.

"Fenderberg - That disgusting clump of ice, snow and slush that accumulates under your car's fenders behind the wheels during the winter months"

I have also posted a few photos just in case you didn't quite understand.

I did not know the gross things had a name!  Fenderbergs.

That said, I too HATE fenderbergs!  Before getting into my car - at a public place, I walk around the car and kick off all the bergs.  I don't want them in my driveway - or heaven forbid...in my garage!  So I never kick them off at home.  They're heavy.  I don't want to shovel them up.  YULK!  The worst is when you're turning a corner and you can hear them scraping on the tires.  Ugh!

What about you?  Thoughts on the fenderberg?
