Here's a thing.

In Baltimore they call it a "rough ride".

In Philly it's a "nickel ride".

In Boston it's a "screeen test" (because of the heavy mesh partition inside the paddy wagon.

Other places call it "rattling the can".

Seems to me that, any time you come up with a cute little nickname for a thing, that name is widely understood and the thing it describes routinely practiced.

Cops are so cool.
