hoon
Australian street racer
Hoon is Australian and New Zealand slang for a reckless driver who speeds, does burnouts, or drives dangerously for thrills: Some hoon in a modified Commodore nearly ran us off the road.
As a verb, to hoon is to drive this way: teenagers hooning around the car park.
The word carries strong disapproval, suggesting antisocial behavior rather than mere speeding.
