caledonia

the name of scotland before it was scotland.

during the roman invasion of brittania a wall was built by the emperor hadrian to represent the northernmost point of the empire. it still stands to this day near the modern border of england and scotland. beyond the wall - caledonia. it comes from 'caledonii' which was the name the romans gave to the tribe of 'wild men' they encountered numerous times over nearly four centuries that occupied the lands north of the wall. no one knows what this means or why the name was applied to the people. they have been written in history by the romans as ...."red haired and tall with large limbs". they had a passion for battle, went naked into combat and painted themselves blue with intricate designs. warlike and fearless the caledonii, believed to be of celtic origin...earned a reputation with the roman empire. to such an extent that a great wall was built...seperating the roman province of brittania from the kingdom of caledonia. the capital of caledonia was on the banks of the river ness, inverness. the word survives in the form of the caledonian canal and inverness caledonian thistle football club....but the word is used all over scotland for many things.

Ball Cage

Describes the protective "cage" you form with your hand around your balls when somebody (possible a sibling or friend) wants to throw, shoot, or hit you with something. In your mind you have concluded that this projectile will cause minimal damage if it hits most places on your body; however you have also concluded if it happens to hit your sack, it could cause major damage, projectile vomiting, and possibly public shame. So with fingers spread wide and slightly curled in, and every muscle in your hand flexing to absorb the possible blow, you stand there like an idiot, and let something hit you. But it's OK because you know deep down in your heart that at least your balls will live to see another day.

"Hey man take off your shirt and let me shoot you with my paint ball gun from across the yard."

"OK!" (walks across yard and turn around)

(friend FIRES quickly)

"WHAT THE FUCK MAN!! WHY'D YOU SHOOT I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE MY BALL CAGE UP YET!!!!"

Girl2: Don't say that name. I will start cryin and clock you in the face.

rat in a cage

Trapped by society. You hate your job, but you can't quit it, because you have to much dets, and don't want to disappoint people around you. Loveless marrage etc.

Hey, you look depressed, are you ok?

I'm just a rat in a cage. sometimes i think death is my only way out of this.

I just wanna live a different life.
