Summary:crack "Crack the window." A woman said this when she wanted the car window opened. She wasn't used to riding in a car and she couldn't quite get over the idea of turning the handle and the car window would go down.

Apparently this phrase only applied to a window in the car. DICT CEN. OCT 28 1965 Used I and Sup Not used Withdrawn Checked by Jordyn Hughes on Wed 06 Jul 2016
