    I've been under such time pressure for the past few years that I haven't been able to really think about the code that I'm writing. I just have to pump it out.
    With 5 detective novels under my belt, it's pretty easy to pump another one out every couple months.

  • When driving: to modulate pressure on the brake pedal to avoid locking the brakes. That is, to lift your foot for a moment to allow the wheels to un-lock, and then push down again.
    The road was iced up and slippery. So I pumped the brakes a bit when I slowed for the turn.
