Hummer H2, Limousine
/hum-mer H-too, LIM-uh-zeen/ n.- 1. A Hummer H2 subjected to a mid-body stretch by an aftermarket coachbuilder, granting it a second passenger cabin between the front seats and the rear axle; esp. one finished in gloss paint and deployed for weddings, proms, and Strip nightlife.
- 2. colloq. The Hummer H2, having decided that one imposing hood scoop was not a full evening's work.
In a sentence,
"The limo Hummer H2 idled outside the casino, and traffic simply rearranged itself around it."
Etymology,
From General Motors, which built the Hummer H2 on the GMT800 platform it shares with the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban; unlike the mechanically distinct, low-volume H1, that shared platform made the H2 cheap and common enough for limousine coachbuilders to stretch by the dozen. Vegas fleets lean on the H2 specifically for this reason: the thiccc here is measured lengthwise, not just in width.
