Is there a term to describe the pulling of a locked car door handle while the driver is unlocking it simultaneously?

This is a GREAT question. I do this all the time (I'm the puller.) I wish I knew the term myself and am interested to see what comes back!

phlocking -- at least it should be called phlocking

It is ,after all, a pretty phlocked up thing when it happens.

Also have heard 'prepull', but that one's not as good:

Second law of thermodynamics; for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I always thought that the 2nd law of thermodynamics had to do with entropy....

@brownlemur; you're right, of course. I am thinking of 3d law. Speak first, check later - that's my motto. Altho w. that endless pushing and pulling, one might speculate that entropy applies also :-)

synchronicity

the second law of thermodynamics says that the whole universe will eventually end up at room temperature.

The first time my girlfriend did this on my car, I discovered that she has a tried and true term for it.“Oops,” she said, “I was an asshole.” So there you have it. The common mistake in questions is called “being an asshole.” try it. It’s catchy.

synchroFLIXity ? ;-)
