Van Halen

The band to which all rock guitar solos must be compared, and the band of the cosmos in Back to the Future. Just listen to Eruption and you'll see why.

canadians

The people who reside in the country Canada, who are disliked by most Americans because they know which wars to fight, and don't kill each other as frequently. It is commonly known that they use the word eh alot. Whether or not this is true, or if people are just ignorant (I favour the latter) they are a happy, content people, who are associated with the French because that's who colonized them. Why aren't Americans like that with England? Oh wait, you declared "Independence".

American: Check out those pussy Canadians...
Canadian: Am I pussy because we don't go and fight wars over some oil, and hold a pre-emptive strike? Or because we are half french? Shut up eh?

willy-willy

It's not actually just an Australian term for a hurricane. It's a special type which occurs in the outback, when a swirl of wind picks up wind or sand and spins it around tornado-like. This is very small scale and lasts from about 5 seconds to about 10 minutes.

"Oh look, it's another willy-willy startin' up behind the shed"
