Another variation of the Cincinnati bowtie, where the giver flatulates in the victim's face. Only this time, the flatulation becomes a shart, and the victim receives a heap of hot brown lumps right there on the neck. If the lumps come in a ferocious spray to the face, the steamer becomes the Windy City Carl (no seran wrap).

Get the Windy City Steamer mug.Wing Chun is an advanced and ultra effective method of self defence. There is a balanced focus on both internal and external development bringing the best from these two, often distinct, ends of the martial arts spectrum.
The style is based on the natural motions of the human body, drawing upon the inherent abilities of our physiology. Promoting the use of natural structure and natural movements to defend against stronger opponents. By learning and developing the 13 principles of Wing Chun, a person learns how to use their body and mind in the most efficient and effective way possible.
By learning how one can and cannot move ones body in relation to an endless variety of situations, whilst remaining calm and controlled, awareness is raised of capabilities and limitations. This enhanced awareness gained by testing and understanding physical boundaries through Wing Chun training greatly improves abilities in all other physical activities.
Wing chun is a traditional Southern Chinese martial art geared towards survival, the only rule is to win at any cost. The fundamental flaw in comparing Wing Chun to MMA is that the goals are different. Wing Chun is a continually evolving martial art and it's logical principles can and are being applied to ground fighting in the modern day. The Wing Chun principles are able to be applied to any situation MMA included. In Wing Chun the practicioner uses a training method known as Chi Sao to practice techniques and develop the touch sensitivity and reflexes.
Many think that Wing Chun does not have anti-grappling movements, forgetting that the art was created to defeat the Shaolin methods (many of which are grappling, takedown and fighting methods). Yes, Wing Chun DOES have anti-grappling and anti-takedown movements. In fact, the first and second movements of the wooden dummy are exclusively for that very thing.
In MMA all you train for as a fighter is strictly to win fights. While traditional Martial Arts also has victory as the main pursuit Wing Chun seeks to cultivate a longer range view: a lifetime of health and well being, emotional control, social responsibility, self respect and respect for others, stress relief and emphasis on healing among other things, as being equal to fighting prowess.

Chicago is the windy city. Most people think it's called the windy city because it's so cold during the winter. The nickname originally came about during the 1850 world's fair which was held in Chicago. News spread to New York City from Chicagoans about how grand the world's fair was. Thus, the New Yorkers called Chicago the "Windy City" because of how Chicagoans bragged about the fair and how fast the word got around.
I'm ghetto but I'm informed. I'm from the Windy city.

Get the the windy city mug.Wingdings is used as a word when writing something that you don’t want the reader to know in order to be mysterious. Maybe it’s also just the translators fault but who knows...
Wingdings is used when the author doesn’t want the protagonist/reader to know something but wants them to know that he/she doesn’t know something. E.g. :
Shadow Monarch: Why have you chosen to betray me?
Baran: Wingdings
Shadow Monarch: Why have you chosen to betray me?
Baran: Wingdings

Usualy seen on ricers, adds drag, increases weight but has no value as the car in question never reaches speeds that require and downforce.

Get the wing mug.1. An American car made in the late 1930’s, 1940’s, 1950’s, or VERY early 1960’s. Especially the mid-to-late 1950’s, when everything was chrome and tail fins. Often seen with fuzzy dice in the mirror, a hula girl bobble head on the dash, or both. The older it is, the more likely it is to be turned into a hot rod or modded out. Anything earlier would be considered Wampa Dampa.
2. The repetitive 1950’s music you hear at car shows. The term Winga Dinga is intended to be a mimicry of said music.
