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.

Caledonia Combo

In the Game of Rape, the Caledonia Combo, or Trifecta, is the ultimate series of playes. In a perfect world, every game of Rape would end with the combo.

The Combo occurs when a rape is stopped by an Antirape, then the Antirape is stopped by the Renigger. Finally a player other than the one who played the Renigger throws down the Captain America Card. This results in every player left in the game being a winner!

It is generally considered good form for the player of the Renigger to wait a few seconds to see if another player has the Captain America Card, thus being able to complete the combo.

CALEDONIA COMBO! Everybody wins! Lets go get drunk and eat chicken fingers!

cankedort

A sticky situation; a royal mess, a snafu, where you're between a rock and a hard place, in a pickle, up shit creek without a paddle. Specifically, a place or situation that is associated with hesitant, uncertain behaviour.

Also spelled "kankedort" and "kankerdort".

From "canke(re)d" (meaning "crabbed", from the astrological belief that the Sun stops or turns back in its course when it's in the constellation of Cancer the crab) + "ort" (from the Middle Dutch "oord/oort", "place, country, region")
(Spargo, John. “Chaucer's Kankedort (Troilus and Criseyde II, 1752).” Modern Language Notes, vol. 64, no. 4, 1949, pp. 264–266)

But now to yow, ye lovers that ben here,
Was Troilus nought in a cankedort?
(Tell me, lovers who've been there:
Troilus was up shit creek, wasn't he?)
- Geoffrey Chaucer, "Troilus and Criseyde"

"I just got a text that she missed her last period. What do I say?"
"Shit, man! You're in a cankedort."
"What? "
"It means you're in trouble."
"Oh, gee, thanks a lot, Captain Obvious!"
