"Cafone" is an Italian word that has found its way into American English slang. It was originally a neutral Italian word meaning a poor peasant. However, in Italian it evolved to mean an uncouth, boorish, ill-mannered person, and that's also what it means in American English slang.
I was sitting in a quiet corner trying to get my baby to fall asleep, when that cafone came over, cigarette dangling from her mouth, reeking of cologne, carrying a blaring radio, and asked me whether he was my "real son."

Canonsburg Middle School 

Also known as CMS. A place were 7th and 8th graders gather for 4 hours of torture everyday. The motto is "Expect the Best at CMS" In the warmer months it gets to be 100 degrees (no air conditioning, nicee) and in the winter it gets covered in 5 feet of snow, yet they still make there students walk through it to go. It has four stories, which students travel up nd down at least 20 times every day, so that by the end of the school year there legs are ripped from the exercise Students are seperated into "teams", which ends up creating fights about who's team is better and ends up creating conflict instead of bringing us together like the principals want us to. Though, the 8th graders end yup fighting at least 2 times a week anyway, so fights are typical and normal. The chicken nuggets at lunch bounce(literally) and putting stuff into the lockers is like trying to stuff and elephant into a shoe box. But, the band wins high honors and is ranked top in the state, the entire school is ranked on the list of top 25 middle schools in the state. And, Mr. Manion, the greatest teacher alive, teaches there. So some parts of it may be crappy, but it has it's up sides. And every student that attends definitly never forgets their experience there.
Kid 1: " HEY do you go to Canonsburg Middle School?"

Kid 2: "YEAH, it sucks but we played basket ball with the chicken nuggets today at lunch, Mr. Manion taught is about how awesome history is, and Teddy slammed tommy in the face with a chair six times before getting in trouble!"

Capoeira 

Capoeira is a combination of dance, ritual, and martial arts that developed out of the Portugese trade of African slaves to Brazil during the 16th century. Capoeira was illegal in Brazil until the 1930's. The ritual game begins with two players squatting in a circle, or roda, of spectators. The players rest at the feet of a single-stringed instrument, or berimbau, and one player sings a commencement song. The other player can sing in response or remain silent to allow the first player to sing the announcement that the game has started. The musician at the berimbau then picks up the song as the players move to the center of the circle. The lead berimbauist is the Mestre, or master of the capoeira game. The roda chants, sings, and drums under the direction of the Mestre. The players and the Mestre carry on a dialogue during the game; the music sets the tempo for the tricks that a player can use. A player may also improvise his movements according to the musical commentary the Mestre gives to his performance. The Mestre in turn may play music that reflects the players' attitudes, reactions and strategies.
The goal of the game, or jogo, is to catch the opponent off-guard using guile, technique and gymnastics. Players can fake each other out using rapid kicks, cartwheels, handstands, leg sweeps, flips, jabs, dodges, and turns. The base movement, and the one most often used by beginners, is a side-to-side motion in a semi-crouched stance called ginga. Unlike most martial arts, strikes are admired most when there is no physical contact. A player gains the most applause when the other player has been skillfully baited into a vulnerable, off-balance position, but has not actually fallen or been hit. Although there is no point system, and no official winners or losers, players can be disqualified for falling into a seated position or, in some forms of capoeira, using their hands to strike. Some speculate that the lack of hand use in capoeira harkens back to an ancient Kongo saying: "hands are to build, feet are to destroy." Modern martial artists have two main choices for capoeira techniques and philosophy. Angolan capoeira is the more traditional form, with slow, dance-like steps while Regional capoeira relies much more on high-energy acrobatics. Capoeira today is truly a global phenomenon with schools teaching Angolan, Regional and dozens of fusion styles in major cities all over the world.

al capone's vault 

Something over-hyped that provides disappointing results. A reference to Geraldo Rivera's television special "The Mystery of Al Capone's Vault."
Dang, that movie sure was an Al Capone's Vault.
