A Cape Verdean is a person who descended from Cape Verde which is a tiiny little country off the western coast of Africa. They range from all skiin colors, eye colors, and haiir types. The language sort of sounds liike a miix of the romance languages spanish, portuguese, italian, ect. so iif u speak one of those especiially portuguese you'd have no problem pickiin iit up. Personally, I happen to thiink Pawtucket, RI is the second Cape Verde. All cape verdeans luv cachupa, and if u dont, well then ur not cape verdean. Many play soccer and they're skilled as hell at iit. At the moment the freak a leak song for them is "Chichiri", download iit ; . They wear their pride on theiir shiirt and flaunt thiier shiiet.
There were three Cape Verdean ladies walking down the beach, and they find what they believe to be a magic lamp. So, they rub it to see if it really is. Just as they rub it, a genie pops out and says that he'll give them each one wish. So the first girl says 'I want to be really smart ', and she appears with glasses and a book in her hand. The second girl says 'I want to be even smarter than her', and she turned into a genius. The third girl said 'I want to just change this whole wish thing around, I want to be as dumb as I could possibly be, and she turns into a white chick.

Get the verve mug.A one-of-a-kind modern English rock band all too often lumped in with the likes of Oasis and Coldplay, while actually being the influence for both and a far higher quality group. The only song they are widely known for is "Bittersweet Symphony", from their third album Urban Hymns. But they have an incredible collection of songs and a history.
Composed of four amazing musicians - Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury - The Verve have really been playing together since the late 1980s, when they were influenced by the shortlived British shoegaze movement. Their earlier work, including debut album A Storm in Heaven, has a distinct spacy, drony sound. From around 1994 onward, the group's music - heavily due to singer Ashcroft's personal troubles and growth as an individual - began to develop into something more melodic and lyrical. 1995's A Northern Soul is an excellent blend of McCabe's strong guitar work and Ashcroft's soul-searching poetry. It also introduces a recurring use of strings. A psychedelic masterpiece.
Conflicts within the band led to a split after A Northern Soul, which was not a commercial success. Ashcroft's creative energy continued brewing, however, and eventually led to a make-up. Ashcroft always said "it might take us three albums" and his band fulfilled that prophecy with the release of Urban Hymns in 1997. Packed with catchy tunes and more strong lyrics, the album was ther most successful to date. However, after a long span of touring on its heels, The Verve split once again.
Many thought that the late 1990s were the end for this special group. Ashcroft continued with a moderately low-key solo career, but in June 2007 the stunning announcement came : The Verve were back together in the recording studio. Since then, they have enjoyed several sold-out dates in the UK, as well as top spots in the summer's most coveted festivals, including Glastonbury. In mid-August, the long-awaited "Forth" will hit the stores, giving old and new fans alike the chance to see whether The Verve still stand tall.

Get the Snow-verreacting mug.Verb.
To purposefully, or perhaps absentmindedly (but unapologetically), bump into someone on the street and continue walking.
The term is derived from the famous music video for "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Verve. The video depicts Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft walking down a sidewalk, bumping into everyone he passes--the implication being that he is unmoved by the presence of the other pedestrians.
