49th parallel

Slang reference for the border between the United States and Canada. The 49th parallel of latitude does make up the western third of the U.S. - Canada border (the border dips south through the Great Lakes region), but the term refers to the entire border, referring to both the geographic and cultural divide between the two countries. Although scrutiny is understandably higher since 9/11, the border is still probably the most open international border in the world.

The 49th parallel is the longest undefended border in the world.

Miley Cyrus

This years model from the Disney tween starlet factory. The next Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, etc.

I hope Miley Cyrus is saving up her money now, because the gravy train won't last.

talent

Talent – Ability to do something well, like musical performance or acting. A complete lack of talent has never been a barrier to success in these fields (see Hilary Duff or Kevin Federline, for instance). Conversely, having extraordinary talent in these fields is no guarantee of success. Superior marketing beats superior talent every time (see Madonna).

Since when did you need talent to become famous as an actor or musician?

two waitresses to go with nothing on them

An interesting thing to order at a McDonalds drive through when you're pissed. (Yes, I actually did this, and no, I wasn't driving...)

Drive through speaker: Is that everything?

Drunk passenger: We'd also like two waitresses to go with nothing on them, please.

Drive though speaker: <Silence>

Air Canada

Canada's national airline, previously known as Trans-Canada Airlines. Originally government owned, subsequently privatized in the late eighties and early nineties. Took over Canada's other major airline, Canadian Airlines, in 2000. For a few years, a combination of minimal competition within Canada and bad times for airlines in general led most Canadians to hate Air Canada (with some justification, as service tended to be poor and fares expensive where there was no competition). The subsequent emergence of Westjet as a competitor within Canada and improving revenue has meant that things have improved a bit in recent years. Air Canada has a regional affiliate, Jazz, that flies smaller aircraft on more lightly travelled routes.

Also known as:

Air Cannibal
Air Cannibis
Air Can't...uh...duh
Air Chaos
Air Crappy
Always Crappy
Err Canada
Mapleflot
Scare Canada
Trash Can

I'm flying Air Canada to Winnipeg next week.

Death Cruiser

Somewhat morbid nickname for the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 airliner, after several prominent crashes with many fatalities. Nickname frequently used by aircraft mechanics that worked on them. (Its descendant, the MD-11 was known by the mechanics as "More Death II").

"What are we working on tonight?"

"A 737 and a death cruiser."
