meta-celebrity

Someone famous for being famous (or infamous), particularly in the entertainment industry. A meta-celebrity is a well known celebrity, who has not done anything particularly noteworthy to justify their Fame. The late Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton are two contemporary examples. Meta-celebrities do not always orginate in the entertainment industry, but they nearly always gravitate to it, often as a last ditch effort to extend their "fifteen minutes" as their profile starts to wane.

See also Professional Celebrity, Famious for being famous.

The late Anna Nicole Smith was a classic meta-celebrity

Gimli glider

1. Refers to Air Canada Boeing 767 C-GAUN (c/n 22520), which on July 23, 1983 ran out of fuel over Northern Ontario, and glided to a landing at an abandoned airfield in Gimli, Manitoba. At the time, this was the first ever dead-stick landing of a jet airliner. The aircraft was subsequently recovered from Gimli and flew for Air Canada for another 25 years before being finally retired in January 2008.

2. Subsequently, the term 'Gimli glider' has become Canadian slang for a particularly glaring screw-up.

1. Hopefully, the Gimli glider will end up in a museum.

2. You just pulled a real Gimli Glider back there.

drive-thru

Window at the side of fast food places where you can get food (of some description) without leaving your car. Also sometimes a place where you can get good drugs without leaving your car, if you know the right stuff to order. Primarily a North American thing, in tune with the American way of conducting as much of life as possible from the car.

I don't want a sit-down meal tonight, let's just get something at the drive-thru.

Licks

Kick-ass chain of burger joints in the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario. Puts everyone else's burgers to shame. If you're going to have a burger-and-fries meal, this is the place!

I don't eat burgers and fries very often, but when I do, I get them from Licks.

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.

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.
