You punish your kids with "minors," "majors," and "misconducts." You call a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame a "pilgrimage." You can say "Khabibulin," "Tkachuk," "Jagr," "Leschyshyn," and "Nikolishin" without getting tongue-tied...

  •  When you come to a traffic signal and the light turns red, you get really excited and start cheering.
