What is Doris Day?

Typically in Doris Day movies, she somehow, miraculously, gets a parking space right in front of the place she needs to go. How convenient! And being an urban dweller, where parking 10 blocks from your house is a gift, getting a spot right out front of the place you are going deserves it's very own name!

Friend: Thanks for coming over. Did you find a spot close by?
Visiting friend: Did I? I found Doris Day Parking -- I'm never leaving!

Doris Day - what is it?

As in all Doris Day movies, when you are somewhere impossible to find parking, there is miraculously a spot open right in front of where ever you are.

I went downtown to eat and I got a Doris Day parking place right by the restaurant.

What does "Doris Day" mean?

The ability to pull into an open parking space at the front door of any residence or business destination no matter how busy the street or how large the parking lot.

It's like Tim is in the movies right on queue, no waiting. All the times I've ridden with him to the Mall we park right at the main entrance - Doris Day Parking!

Doris Day - what does it mean?

If you watch old Doris Day movies, she has the most amazing parking luck and timing. Ms. Day was one of the first ladies to drive solo in movies and she had the uncanny knack of pulling up in front of the bank, butcher, office, etc. and getting the spot right in front of the door.

As such, Doris Day Parking spots are the PERFECT parking spots - mere steps to the door of any establishment. Good mojo for Doris Day Parking is said to to be acquired by singing the Doris Day version of "Que Sera Sera" as you approach the area in which you are seeking a parking spot.

I was short on time when I drove to the bank at lunch, so I sang "Que Sera Sera" the whole way. When I arrived there was Doris Day Parking; the spot was so close, three steps from my car to the door.

Doris Day - meaning

Any parking spot that seems as though it was meant to be, as evidenced by the spot's convenience to one's destination as well as the smoothness with which one can park their car in said spot.

Derived from the sort of parking found by Doris Day in any Doris Day movie.

Because of the sweet Doris Day parking I got in Westwood, I wasn't late for the movie.

Doris Day - definition

rock star parking In 1960s Doris Day movies, whenever DD would arrive at her destination, a parking space would be available right in front of it so she could drive her convertible right in. No valets necessary.

When I drove into Hollywood to see "Wicked", there was a
"Doris Day parking" space that was open right in front of the Pantages theater. (Examples are sprinkled throughout all movies of the 60s. Jessica Fletcher ("Murder She Wrote") had the same luck.)

Typical slang for girl-next-door, which stemmed from the bubbly blonde singer/actress who was popular in the 1950s.
