May 18, 2007: U-lock Justice
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=U-lock+Justice&defid=2072769

Vigilante justice taken against aggressive motorists or "cagers," by bikers. The heavy [U-lock] used to lock the bike is used to do damage to a vehicle, like by taking off a mirror. U-lock Justice is not legal justice, but it's the only justice some cyclists get for being hit by inconsiderate motorists.

I saw some stupid [cager] get a dose of U-lock Justice after he tried to hit that messenger.
