Beware the spurnstile

By

One of my favorite features at Trainjotting is their Word of the Week. Today’s – spurnstile is particularly amusing. TJ defines it as “a subway turnstile that prevents you from entering the station, either because it’s malfunctioning or because there’s a flood of exiting passengers blocking your way.” I’d also add in something about Metrocard malfunctions. But we’ve all been on the wrong end of a spurnstile, and let me tell you, sometimes, it really hurts. [Trainjotting]
