impact calibration

The technical terminology for hitting any sort of electronic device to get it to work properly; a solid and punctuated smack or slap.

"Theo noticed the screen on his iPad was slightly scrambled so he quickly implemented the impact calibration principle to the edge of the device. One good smack and the screen was clear as the blue sky on a summer's day.

calibra

A semi-popular car designed by Opel and sold under various brands by GM, including Vauxhall and Holden from 1990-1998. It was somehow overlooked by many markets in favour of close rivals the Toyota Celica and Nissan 180SX, despite its value for money and impressive looks.
Mechanicals were based on an earlier GM model which was apparently known for its tendency to not work very well all the time.
The 2 door coupe was sold with a range of configurations including an 8v and 16v inline 4, 24v V6, and WRX-eating Turbo 4 with AWD.

The calibra is gaining popularity as a second hand car because of the impressive specs of some configurations.

Calabrian

Person from Calabria, the southern-most region or the toe of Italy. People from Calabria typically have dark brown or black hair that is very thick, have fair to olive skin, and have green or brown eyes. Although these features or traits can be seen as stereotypes towards Calabrians and /or Sicilians and other southern Italians, they actually true in most cases. Such variations in complexion, hair color, and eye color are due to invasions, attacks, and settling of the Greeks, Arabs, Etruscans, Africans, and other tribes/peoples in southern Italy.

Joe: That kid Vincenzo's family is from Calabria and hes really hairy, but hes so pale! Shouldn't he be olive complected or have tan skin since he's Calabrian?

Lou: Not all Calabrians are darker skinned and hairy Lou. There were many invasions and settlings in Italy from light-skinned peoples and tribes, and dark-skinned peoples/tribes, which means different skin colors, eye colors, and just in general varied traits. Do some research pal. And by the way, that kid Cenzo looks Spanish in the summer he gets so tan.

calirican

Calirican(s) are known to have Puerto Rican heritage and live in California. They are immersed in the West Coast "cool and chill" mentality, but never lose their flavor. They embrace their culture, the music, and don't forget the food of Puerto Rico which is damn tasty. Despite being across the country from the mainland, Caliricans are in love with Puerto Rican history and cultura. That's right.

So I'm a "Calirican " You know, a Puerto Rican but really.. I'm from California. Tu sabes! We 're all about chillin' but we hustle mami all at the same time.
