fender bender
Fender is the car body part that is right above the tire. Bender is derived
from bend. Since the fender is a small part compared to the hood and door, and
bend is not as bad as break or crack, combining these two indicates that the
accident is very small. Like a small dent or scratch.
Fender是挡泥板，是在汽车轮胎正上方的一个部分。bender是由bend而来的。由于挡泥板相对于引擎盖和门来说是一个很小的部分，而弯曲了也没有折断或裂纹那么严重，结合这两者说明事故是非常小的。比如一个小凹痕或刮伤。
A: I got into a car accident.
我出了车祸
B: That sucks. You didn’t get hurt did you?
那太倒霉了。你没受伤吧?
A: No. It was just a fender bender.
没有，就是个小剐蹭。
