Carbaby- n. a person who has become so accustomed to driving everywhere that they never even consider walking, biking, or taking public transportation.
The previous post is an example of how my fellow writer works with a lot of very nice carbabies. However, carbaby can also be used by exsasperated transportation activists in a derogatory way. “She’s such a carbaby that she drives to the gym to ride the stationary bike!”.
Ever since cbink introduced this term in conversation to me, I’ve found it useful. It seems that it fills a void in our language, so I’m putting it up here for the general public.
