Get the toronno mug.The derogatory term combines the words "Tourist" with "Moron" to describe any person who, while on vacation, commits an act of pure stupidity.
The term has its roots in the resort, park service and service industries and can easily be dated back at least as far as the mid 1970's. It is widely used throughout the US, but may not be in general use by mainstream society.
Mostly an inside "Joke", created to vent emotion when dealing with the public.
In Yosemite National Park, "Tourons" regularly block access into the park by stopping on the single lane road to take pictures of wildlife.
"Tourist, Please leave your brain before entering " was the sign in an underground cartoon in Yosemite in the late 1980s. It depicted the entrance to the park with a park service employee leaning out the gate to accept the brain of a tourist driving a Volkswagen Beetle. Another sign in the cartoon read "Night Drop".
The cartoon was seen in both park service and concessions offices during that period and reflects the over all harmless, yet critical view of people who forget how to act in public.

Get the Torontophobia mug.A sexual act, performed annually on the eve of Passover, using an "exchange rate" of 5 U.S. (men) to 2 Canadian (women). During the festivities, one man is designated as "Cal Ripken", a.k.a. "The Iron Horse", and must be involved for the entirety of the event, even if he is "hit by a pitch" (semen). It is also customary that one of the women disparages the size of one of the male participants, an unfortunate but completely avoidable situation with the appropriate amount of pre-game fluffing.
It should also be noted that anal access must be formally requested first (preferably in writing). Failure to do so will result in a 5-minute major, during which time the offending male will be chastised for his actions, but he may continue fluffing himself in an effort to stay in the game.
The Toronto is considered over when the two female participants pass out or a fake phone call is placed from the hotel front desk asking people to leave.
