Heritage 

It's against my heritage to ejaculate on cows.

Hermitting 

To live as a loner, by choice or not, despite the presence of other options; for spiritual reasons or other reasons; to spend time away from people to read, write, introspect, gain knowledge, learn about self, learn lessons from the past, learn about life. Sometimes it can be the result of a trauma or depression, too.
"I've already spent a lot of time hermitting about you. Had a lot to learn from this poking and questioning, but I think I covered most of the You question now."

For example, when you get dumped by a loved one, you'll often question yourself for a long time about what happened that caused the failure. Sometimes when you really want answers, you'll tend to avoid noise and people. This is what I call "hermitting". This behaviour can get compared to that of a hermit, because the person rather spend time alone, to think, than with people having fun and socializing.

Sometimes, after a major turn in life, hermitting can be a necessary phase of "digestion of events" before being able to move on.

canadian heritage moments 

Commercials made by the Historica association of Canada, outlining Canada's "achievements" in 60-second shorts. Considered by Canadians to be hilarious, people of any other nationality just don't get them.
I saw the Canadian Heritage Moment with the Mountie last night, eh? That's the best one.
No way- the Inukshuk one is by far the best.

canadian heritage moments 

A series of 30-second commercial spots that describe events in Canadian history. The acting quality in these low-budget commercial spots is rather poor.
Halifax Explosion: "Come on Vince! Come on!"
School Board dumbass: "Both of ye know I cannot read a word."
Mountie Sam Steel: "He didn't even have a gun! Why didn't I shoot that guy?"
First Multiplex: "You don't like 15? How about 21?"
First Microwave Comm Network: "We'll BUILD a cable car!"
Inventor of Basketball: "But I need these baskets back."
Creator of Superman: "A superhero in tights? It will never fly Joe."
Underground Railroad: "WHERE'S PA?!?!"
Arctic natives: "Now the people will know we were here."
early explorers: "That word they used, 'Canada'. I think it means 'the village'."
defense of Quebec: "I will answer from the mouth of my cannon."
Laura Second: "Take me to Fitzgibbon."
Irish refugees: "We need to keep our Irish names!"
OTHERS: jailed French author, native American refugees, Signal Hill (first wireless broadcast), WWII female fighter pilot, many more...

hermitnating 

The act of confining oneself from the social world for an extended period of time in order to study for that big test or to write that big paper. A person hermitnating doesn't talk to any of his/her friends and doesn't go out (even during the weekends!). Sounds similar to hibernating.
Nicole didn't go to the birthday party because she was hermitnating. She has three midterms, AND she's applying to pharm school!
