Word of the Day 11 August 2026

jacked up

Describes a 4x4 automobile that has a "lift kit", raising the body and/or frame higher than stock.

Why this one

A vehicle raised on a lift kit. The register label matters here: perfect on the floor, wrong in a specification.

In use

That thing's so jacked up I can walk under the diff, and he still wonders why it eats ball joints.
