This SUV parking (lemmy.world)

Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

I call them any one of the following:

  • Grotesque monstrosities

  • Pavement princesses

  • Four wheeled Freudian excuses

US trucks are ridiculously oversized and typically never see any actual "truck" usage. They're also insanely expensive and are often redneck status symbols. As an American, I'm sorry they have infested your continent.

Source: I live in a yeehaw state where people own $70,000 trucks while living in a $7,000 hovel.

I like the more generic "All Hat", as in "all hat, no cowboy" because it not only captures the vehicle, but the owner too.

Ass hat also suffices.

I thought the expression was "All hat and no cattle." Now I gotta go look it up.

both work, not sure if there's a real historical significance to using one over the other.

in my opinion, "all hat, no cattle" has stronger assonance, and flows better as a phrase. especially with a slight southern USA accent, it has a satisfying cadence

We luckily rarely see them here. I saw one once (could have been a nissan? It was so big it was taller than me and I'm 6 foot..).. the owner had attempted to park it in a local car park, it took up two bays and still stuck out into the road. I felt sorry for them.. just nowhere to put something like that.. how the hell they managed to manoeuvre it in and out of the car park I have no idea..
