Hoon

Vocabulary to Learn and Use: HOOOON!

Hoon is my new favourite word. Australian in origin and popularized by car blog Jalopnik, it refers to someone performing great acts of vehicular stupidity, such as drifting a limo or deliberatly crashing an Eldorado into a camper. And it’s versatile! Hoon, hoonage, hooning, hooned - pretty well any variation is acceptable.

Linguistically, it’s the perfect combination of sound and meaning. But what about the visual aspect? There must be a a perfect Hoon typeface out there …
