A phrase coined in "Roots", authored by the Pulitzer award winning novelist Alex Haley. A Mandinka elder tribesman is warning young tribesmen who have never seen a white man about the slave traders . The elder is describing how to detect the white man's presence.
"And remember, when you are close to where he has been his scent remains in the air. It is a smell like a wet chicken. The white man is here."
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."
