I hate, despise and abominate SUVs. To me, they epitomize exactly why this country is so screwed up. But I don’t need to debate about this, I want to have some fun. Lately I’ve been making up funny names for SUVs so that I can yell at people when in my car. Some of my personal favorites:
The GMC Gigantor
The Ford FatAss
The Overcompensator
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than muttering “OK guy, move your f**king Overcompensator and get out of my way!”

If your vehicle is taller than you are, you should be required to get a truck license to drive it. Maybe then you wouldn’t see so many SUVs parked in compact car spaces.
Though it might be a cliche, I favor “Urban Assault Vehicle” for all SUVs. Perfect description - since the drivers of same ALWAYS act as if they are the most important people on the road, and that it’s worth killing ten people around them, as long as they can keep up their cell phone conversation on their way to their Botox injection appointments.
I saw one the other day with a PETA bumper sticker. If I had it to do over again, I would have left a note: “What, you don’t think animals need clean air, too?”
If you want an alternative, I think “weenie wagon” has a nice ring to it.
