Boxcar Racer

1. a crappy blink 182 spin-off band.
2. one who, especcially during the great depression, jumped into a moving boxcar on a passing freight-train and road it for days. see also vagrant, vagabond, wanderer, tramp, not to be confused with bum, hobo, or derelict as these people tend to remain in one area

boxcar racer sucks almost as bad as blink 182

Valhalla

From the Norse "Val" meaning warrior or hero, and "halla" meaning hall. This was one possible afterlife for those who believed in Norse Mythology, where you went if you fought and died in a hopeless battle for an ideal. This afterlife was not eternal, however. On the day of Ragnarok, you would fight and perish alongside the gods.

Valhalla is where heroes went when they died, not where the gods lived

hooverville

during the great depression, a small cardboard village on the outskirts of a town, near the railroad tracks, where those who lost money would wait for a train to pass, then hop a boxcar and ride it out west to find a new life. hoovervilles were most common in states like Illinois and Michigan, industrial areas where unemployement was at its worst. they were so named because herbert hoover was president during the stock market crash and is widely blamed for it.

the police officers busted up the hooverville the day after billy hopped a train.
