1. Refers to Air Canada Boeing 767 C-GAUN (c/n 22520), which on July 23, 1983 ran out of fuel over Northern Ontario, and glided to a landing at an abandoned airfield in Gimli, Manitoba. At the time, this was the first ever dead-stick landing of a jet airliner. The aircraft was subsequently recovered from Gimli and flew for Air Canada for another 25 years before being finally retired in January 2008.
2. Subsequently, the term 'Gimli glider' has become Canadian slang for a particularly glaring screw-up.

1. Hopefully, the Gimli glider will end up in a museum.
2. You just pulled a real Gimli Glider back there.

When taking a part in an orgy, and there is a slut that didn't come yet and all the other guys are already limp from shooting several loads but you are the last man standing. You put the tip of your dick in her pussy and before thrusting you shout: "there is one dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath!"
-"heard you got a GF!"
-"oh yeah, she fell for me when I did 'the Gimli', who knew she was a Tolkien fan?"

Get the The Gimli mug.The Gillis Principle outlines the proportionality between the amounts of mountain dew and marijuana that would kill an average human.
Mathematically, 1 Gillis (Gi) is the unit of either substance (Marijuana or Mountain Dew) that would kill a human when consumed within an hour. Both substances have calculated conversion rates based on experimental data.
Mountain Dew: 8823mg Caffeine = ~173 cans = 61L = 1Gi/Hour
Marijuana: 68000g THC = 971 000 Joints = 1Gi/Hour
It can be concluded using the Gillis Principle that Mountain Dew has a far higher lethality rate than Marijuana.
