Petawawa is a town located in eastern portion of Southern Ontario. Situated in the Ottawa Valley, with a population of 14,651 (2006 Census). Petawawa is the most populous municipality in Renfrew County.
The earliest settlement in the Petawawa area was inhabited by the Algonquin First Nation. The name of Petawawa originates from a local Algonquin language word, biidaawewe, meaning "where one hears a noise like this".
In the late 19th century, the area was surveyed and settled by emigres from Scotland, Ireland and Germany. The land was unsuitable for crops, but the heavily forested surroundings were useful for logging. The Canadian military acquired land in the area in 1905, which later became Canadian Forces Base Petawawa. During this period it was used as an internment camp for German POWs during World War II. Later, it became home to the Canadian Airborne Regiment before it was disbanded in 1995. Today, it is one of Canada's largest ground forces bases with members deployed throughout the world on various missions supporting the United Nations in peacekeeping or the War on Terror.
Petawawa was incorporated as a township in 1865. In 1961, the urban area of Petawawa was incorporated as a separate village. On July 1, 1997, the village and township re-amalgamated to form the Town of Petawawa.

Get the Petawawa, Ontario mug.by Pete1846012 August 3, 2006
Get the PETA mug.An organization that claims to fight for animal rights, but kills far more animals than they save. PETA is a radical organization, and they also have ties with ALF, a group that is considered a terrorist group by the FBI. Instead of using their funds to help animals, they use them to buy "Street Team" goods to bribe teens into committing acts of vandalism, and to do stuff that if not illegal, is just plain asinine. PETA has also launched many campaigns to convince teens to "Defy Authority", one such example being disobeying their parents. There are far better groups out there for those who want to help animals, such as Steve Irwin's group, all PETA can do is go on propaganda campaigns and kill animals(a lot of them being healthy and adoptable), hunters do more for animals than PETA does.

Get the petapat mug.A very useless word to describe the obscure process of adding layers of moleskin or makeshift materials to create an ad hoc bushing for the lower rim opening of one's medical penis enlargement vacuum pump in preparation for prolonged use, or as an emergency measure to, for example, abate painful penile shaft edemas or mitigate testicular torsion and seminal vesicle ruptures, commonplace among unfortunate individuals with a thumb dick, so that one may resume vigorous penile pumping, effectively turning the penis into a semi-resilient, flaccid superchubby resembling a miniature rancid eggplant, inevitably leading to DVT - Deep Vein Throboshits and perpetual impotence.
Intercom: "Dr. Wang, please report to the north wing nurses station immediately for adolescent penile pump evacuation and flaccid priapism drainage."
Nurse: "Orderly Johnson, please prepare and sterilize the bone saw and hydraulic urethra lancer."
Patient: "Nurse, please, the pain. I need some moleskin or at least help holding my pump upright."
Nurse: "I'm sorry, son, we do not permit petaling, perpetual masturbation or hand jobs in common areas of the pediatric ward."
