Uber home
Significado: To take a rideshare (Uber, Lyft) home after a night out; used as a verb.
In modern American party culture, 'Uber' has become a verb meaning to take a rideshare. 'I'll Uber home' or 'Just Uber it' is the standard plan for getting home after drinking. The rise of rideshare apps fundamentally changed American nightlife by eliminating the need for a designated driver in many cities.
