Tenerife 

n. geogr. 1) an island off the west coast of Africa in Atlantic belonging to Canary Islands, colonial Spain. Tenerife is the largest and most populated of the group of seven islands.
2) favorite vacation spot for British, German and Norwegian tourists, mainly drunken students and elder folks on a budget. In recent years architecturally developed and intelligently marketed as a civil getaway for normal people. As the sod's law would have it, in recent years also effected badly by the climate change with weather changing from sunny 300 days to 5 hours of sun/3 hours of rain/365 days of being ripped off by taxi drivers for no particular reason.
3) an easy place to hide for accused Scottish murderers, Serbian generals running from International Tribunal charges, drug addicts, drug dealers, alcoholics, lazy asses, minor gay celebrities from Estonia and various other questionable characters.
You don't feel like college, don't want to work for more than five hours a day, running from court charges and can't last a day without coke? Tenerife is just the place for you.

Tenerife disaster

On the 27th march, 1977, two 747s collided and 583 people died. They were a KLM 747-206B and a Pan Am 747-121. The cause was low visibility, rushing to take off and poor communication. 70 initially survived but 9 died due to injuries later so 61 survived in the end.
The Tenerife disaster was the worst aviation accident in history.

'Did you hear he went out last night after everything that happened? Yeah, he was pulling a Tenerife.'

'She pulled a Tenerife booking that particular flight.'

Tenerifian 

Some one born in Tenerife, of spanish nationality but usually accused of being African due to being closer to africa then spain.

Tenerifian's call themselves Chicharreros, and within spain they are called Tinerfenhos.

They are people with a great sence of humour, even thought they are short they have been greatly designed, and they are better looking and overall better than the rest of spain and quite possibly the world, they are incredibly better than people from Gran Canaria too (canariones) as they are a bunch of gay chulos.
''Olle Javier, arent you going to help your neighbor Miguel who has just fallen off his moto, and his leg is pointing the wrong way... and some dog its trying to run off with its bone?''

''No, sod him, he is Canarion!''

PS - daddy yankey is not Tenerifian

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
