vankooten'd

To be proven incorrect through the personal effort, dedication, and perseverance of another.

This term is typically used as a criticism against those who had little to no confidence in the abilities of a person after said person has accomplished a difficult challenge that they were assumed incapable of completing.

When Naked Craig historically defeated Manus on #DeathDays he thoroughly vankooten'd everyone who thought he would continue to fail with his current equipment.

Vancouver stop

A vehicle stop typical of Vancouverites, whereby the driver pulls into an intersection behind other vehicles and cannot clear the intersection by the time the light turns red. This typically happens when the driver thinks that traffic on the other side of the intersection will clear before the light turns red. A driver that stops in the crosswalk or in the intersection itself is guilty of the Vancouver stop. Vancouver stops do not usually occur at intersections where right of way is not given by at least one set of lights.

The Vancouver stop is the cousin of the "California stop", whereby a driver does not stop their vehicle completely at a red light or stop sign, and instead "roll stops". The difference is that a Vancouver stop does not typically occur at stop signs, and does involve a complete stop of the vehicle, rather than a roll stop.

"The light turned green, but I couldn't go through because some asshole Vancouver stopped right in the middle of the intersection!"

"The guy in the big truck Vancouver stopped in the crosswalk, and couldn't move when traffic had cleared because pedestrians kept walking in front of his vehicle."

Vandolf

A particularly refined version of the Welsh-Scottish name Gandolf but in the later 21st century was used much too often in reference to a wizard. It was not until the mid 1980’s that a “V” was used in replacing the “G” and therefore a name of class, fashion and quiet refinement was created.

Vans (a popular and shortened modern version of the name Vandolf).

(1st girl) Victoria: (claps uproariously) Yaaaaasss! Vandolf yaaasssss.... WERK IT!
(2nd girl) Mya: Ooooo Vandolf, let’s make green tea macarons. 😍
(3rd girl): Vans!! Kuya Vans!!

vandocker

1. A vandocker is a person (or persons) who enjoy the outdoors away from modern society and whom visit National Forests, BLM land, and Walmart parking lots in their quest for freedom and solitude. They are typically Nature lovers and truly believe in "Pack it in, pack it out" and you will seldom be able to tell whether they have visited a location or not.

The mode of travel is typically in a van but can be anything on wheels and if so driven they may as well have solar panels to aid in off the grid traveling and visiting locations. Many people are surprised at the education levels found within this group as they range from Doctorates to high school graduates or simply a GED. Whatever their education level, they all seem to have a common thread: To travel freely and enjoy the great outdoors with as little impact on Mother Earth and Society as they can.

2. A outdoor and sporting goods company that caters to adventure enthusiasts and extreme sports athletes.

I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I want to be a vandocker so I can be free from society, focus on my passion, and explore the world.
