So here are a few common words that people (strangers) use (sometimes mistakenly) when describing my car(s):

Wing: aka spoiler, word used by moms/dads/grandmas/uncool uncles when describing an aerodynamic device placed (primarily) on the rear of a vehicle to reduce lift and increase downforce

Souped/suped up: outdated terminology used to describe the practice of tuning one's car for higher performance; commonly misused to describe ricer cars which only have cosmetic enhancements

Slammed: adjective used to described a car that has been modified to lower its suspension

Boost: Positive manifold pressure

RICE: Acronym which describes a "rider in cheap(ass) equipment"; expensive cars are not immune to "rice" status

And here are some words what I've learned since watching Initial D:

Curve: A turn in the road

Corner: Another term for a curve; more commonly used by drifters/street racers

Turn: To maneuver a vehicle around a corner

Attack: An aggressive turn; commonly used by drifters/street racers
