Episode: Flivver
Description: Flivver is a noun that refers to a cheap automobile.
The origin of our word of the day is unknown, but we do know it’s an informal word used to describe an old vehicle — but never in a complimentary way. For example:
That old flivver I used to drive in college lasted only eight months before it died on me. Given how cheap it was, I was surprised it lasted the drive back from the car lot.
