Vancouver's fourth pillar problem 

An erection problem among athletes. Referring to the fourth pillar who didn't get up during Vancouver's opening ceremony.
Athlete #1: "I can't believe I didn't even make it up to the top ten... Worst thing is, I've been stuck with the Vancouver's fourth pillar problem"

Athlete #2: "Yeah VFPP happens to all of us, don't worry with that, it will pass!"

Vancouver Summer 

The time of year when the weather transitions from the heat of summer one day to the cold and rain of winter the next. Vancouver summer does not match the classic definition so it would be more accurate to call it Sprautumn. To experience Summer, extensive travel is often necessary to regions such as the interior, prairies and southern ON, where summer lasts for several months.
I am planning on going to the beach after work but since its Vancouver Summer, who knows what the weather will be like.

vancouver special

A basic and boxy housing style that was prevalent in East Vancouver, Canada, during a housing boom in the 60's and 70's. Cheap and easy to build, houses were 2 level structures with a basement that was easily converted into an illegal rental suite.
--Hey man, I heard you just bought a house.

--Yeah, it's a Vancouver special. I hope to flip it quickly but the basement suite should cover the mortgage in the meantime.

West Vancouver Secondary School 

The most diverse White school you will ever see.
Most attending used to be foreign at one point in their lives but succumbed to the white clichés such as obsessive facebook use and creation of drama at one wrong glance at the wrong person.
Those who delude themselves into believing haven't turned "white-wash", although they express these actions daily, spend large amounts of effort sticking to one group and ignoring all others such as the Korean, Chinese, German, Persian and so on groups.
West Vancouver Secondary "gangsters" consist of mainly individuals who think they’re tough, pretend they're street and act like they work selling drugs everyday and they've seen things that would scar you for life.
Right. We’re all aware your daddy bought you those “gangsta clothes” and your "badass" drug trade originated from the British Properties. I’ve seen worse than that on my way to the bus stop.

Student classes are set into two different divisions. The Regular students, and the IB students.

The difference between regular students and IB students, is if in IB, everyone in regular assumes your freaking brilliant.
Even in the early stages of grade 10 when IB isn’t even that much harder than regular, your report card score might as well go up 30%.
“He got a 60% average? Oh but he’s in IB so it must be like a 90 in regular.”
Not that the IB students are rushing to correct them.
But unlike the common high school drama, no group is really considered to be “popular” but instead labelled –rightly- as preps. Because everyone else, doesn’t really have a drive to be a prep. They have something that separates them from that. Ambition.

Not that it matters especially, because it’s not what you know, it’s what you inherit.
"If you're going to West Vancouver Secondary School, you better be loaded. Or at least act like it."

Vancouver Special

Description of the majority of beautiful Asian women found in Vancouver. As beautiful as they may be, they all actually look the same! Just like all the 'Vancouver Special' homes built in a particular architectural style in the period from roughly 1965 to 1985 in Vancouver. These women will usually sport a designer handbag, ombre hair, fake eyelashes and snobby attitude.
I'm not going to (insert Vancouver club here)! It's full of Vancouver Specials!
