Word of the Day: Speed demon
You could have the calmest, sweetest guy imaginable, but when he gets behind the wheel of a vehicle, he turns into a speed demon.
Have you ever noticed how some men change when they get behind the wheel of a car?
For some reason, they instantly have a heavy foot.
Speed demons like to do things such as drive their cars very fast.
The car in front is always going too slow, and the speed limit is never high enough.
It doesn’t matter what kind of car a speed demon has.
It could be a Mitsubishi Lancer or a Ferrari F40.
They want to go fast.
Another example is a person who likes to work fast.
Some people are very good at working quickly and efficiently.
These people can get in the zone and complete assignments quite quickly.
Their co-workers often call these people speed demons because they work so fast.
