A woman from Quebec, Canada. Most of them are gorgeous. They almost all speak French (at least the pretty ones) but English also and with a beautiful accent.
An age old tradition in the Canadian province of Quebec. This means of competition involves two combatants, the first competitor to shove his thumb up the other's anus is the defined victor. The provincial champion also gains the honor of being the leader of Quebec's Bloc Québécois Party.

"Mario Beaulieu is an idiot, I wish someone would just challenge him to a québécois thumb war already" - Jean
French spoken by the Quebecois. Regular French by all means except the pronunciation and some jargons, which makes the "regular" Frenchman feel lost in translation, Bill Murray style.
In fact so lost that movies starring Quebecois French speakers have subtitles for other French speakers in case they don't understand.
canadian third world political party based in quebec that thinks that anything english threatens the very existence of the quebec french population. so they came up with the bright idea of trying to seperate the province of quebec from the rest of canada.
the parti-quebecois next move:colonize the moon and make it a french utopia...lets hope they forget to bring the oxygen!!
Although technically the people from the Canadian province of Quebec, they are mostly known for turning their noses up at you if you speak to them in English. But as soon as they hear your shitty French accent, you end up talking in English anyways.
There really is no point in any of this, especially when the Quebecois are treated the same way by the actual French people.
A conversation between you and a quebecois:
You: Um, where is the bus stop?
Thèm: Pardon? Parlez-vous français?
You: Uh, je chercher le bus arrêt?
Thèm: (in perfectEnglish) Around the corner

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
