14 days agoDoesn’t quite fit, but I guess. Im curious why the OP chose to use a euphemism though.
Thanks for the reply! It just seemed euphemistic to me as cages have a predominantly positive connotation with safety or protection. Roll cages, faraday cages, and shark cages protect those within. Most other cages are for the protection of those outside, which cars obviously aren’t.
The only negative connotation cages have is animal cruelty or false imprisonment, and even then you sympathise with those within the cage.
Now say car-nut, petrolhead, or even just driver, and I have clear enough picture painted.
