Scrapes from a motorcycle fall

ROADRASH

Think of the painful red marks left when skin meets pavement at high speed—often treated with antiseptic after a wipeout.

When you take a spill off a motorcycle, your skin often gets scraped against the pavement, leaving painful red marks. The term for this is "road rash," combining "road" (where the accident happens) and "rash" (the abrasion itself). The clue plays on the literal outcome of a fall, making it a straightforward definition without hidden wordplay. It’s a common phrase among riders, so even if you’ve never crashed, you’ve probably heard it.
