Taika (Tie - ka)
A stunning individual that can cheer you up or sadden you with a blink of her eye. They have the highest hope and determination for things others may deem impossible. But they aren't all "Sunshine and Daisies ". If you get in the way of Taika, and interfere with what they want, be prepared for the consequences. To know a person with such a name is more than a blessing...it's a privilege.
another term for a station wagon, mini-van, or any other kind of vehicle that is targeted at the "family" demographic(also M.A.V.)
"Tactical advantages aside, the M.A.V. is top of the line for the holy warrior troop transport manufactured by the Church of Latter Day Saints Military Industrial Complex. Also great for family trips...to heathen lands."
