Really? I've never heard suicide knob before. Is this because it is dangerous?

Hell yes! Real easy to over-steer. Especially if your sweetie is paying you a lot of attention while you're driving with one arm around her! Tom Waits needed one to go "driving with his sweet one down the boulevard...into the Heart of Saturday Night".
