    SUV=SubUrban Vehicle

    That’s what I thought the acronym stood for when I was younger, because I would usually see them in suburbs. Now that I’m older, I refuse to call them sport utility vehicles because suburban vehicle is a much better description of their intended use-case.

      Considering there is nothing sport or utility about them, I think your name for them is fitting.

      They’re great at driving onto sidewalks, or over the curb if the person in front is taking too long at the drive thru.
