Blinker fluid is a slang term that refers to an imaginary liquid used to mockingly suggest that a vehicles turn signals are not working properly. It is often used humorously to imply ignorance or a lack of knowledge about cars and automotive maintenance.

In more detail, the termblinker fluid” is a humorous way to poke fun at someone who may not be familiar with basic car maintenance or may be ignorant about how turn signals work. The term plays on the idea of needing a special fluid to make the turn signals function properly, similar to how other fluids like oil or coolant are necessary for a car’s engine. However, in reality, there is no such thing as blinker fluid.

Example 1: “I can’t believe you fell for that joke about needing to refill your blinker fluid. It’s just a prank to make fun of people who don’t know much about cars.”

Example 2: “When my friend asked me where to buy blinker fluid for his car, I couldn’t help but laugh. It was clear he had no idea it was all just a joke.”

joke, prank
