Sheds vary considerably in the complexity of their construction and their size, from small open-sided tin-roofed structures to large wood-framed sheds with shingled roofs, windows, and electrical outlets.

In Australia and New Zealand the term shed can be used to refer to any building that is not a residence and which is open at the ends or sides. Australia’s passion for sheds is documented in Mark Thomson’s Blokes and Sheds.

McRoyale without Cheese

McShawarma (shawarma served in flatbread) and McKebab (kebab served on flatbread). This was made famous in an advertisement based on the McRoyale scene in Pulp Fiction.

Shawarma (Arabic: شاورما) (Hebrew: שווארמה‎), also spelled Chawarma, Shwarma, Shawerma, Shoarma or Shaorma) is a Middle Eastern-style sandwich usually composed of shaved lamb, goat, or chicken. Less often, it may contain turkey, beef, or a mixture of meats. Shawarma is a popular dish and fast-food staple across the Middle East, and is consumed across the rest of the world as well.

In most markets unfamiliar with English measurements, the Quarter Pounder is known as the Hamburger Royale or McRoyal, or variants thereof, including “Royale with Cheese”, as famously explained in the film Pulp Fiction (although one should note that in France the official name of the Quarter Pounder with Cheese is Royal Cheese).

[According to kosher dietary laws] meat and milk (and anything made with dairy and meat products) cannot be served in the same meal, or cooked using the same dishes or utensils, or stored in a way that could cause them to intermingle.

The new Hilux is unbreakable, no bull

Sheep shagger (alternative spelling: Sheepshagger) is a term aimed at people living in rural areas where populations of sheep are greater than those of the human residents, such as rural Ireland, Aberdeen, Wales, Australia or New Zealand, implying they perform sexual acts with sheep. Usage of this term is restricted to within the British and Irish Isles and mostly aimed at Yorkshiremen or the Welsh, areas where animal farming is a major industry, and is likewise widespread in Australia and New Zealand, where sheep farming especially is conducted on an industrial scale.

A cattle grid – also known as a stock grid in Australia; cattle guard, or cattle grate in American English; vehicle pass, Texas gate, or stock gap in the Southeastern United States; and a cattle stop in New Zealand English – is a type of obstacle used to prevent livestock, such as sheep, cattle, pigs, horses, or mules from passing along a road or railway which penetrates the fencing surrounding an enclosed piece of land or border.

Wendy’s Fast Burger tastes good

[Wendy’s] is famous for its square ground beef hamburgers, which are made to order at the time of purchase. The idea for Wendy’s “old fashioned” hamburgers was actually inspired by Dave Thomas’ trips to “Kewpee Hamburgers” in his home town of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Kewpee sold square hamburgers and thick malt shakes, much like the famous restaurant that Thomas eventually founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1969. The Kewpee restaurant still thrives in Lima, Ohio.

A wind tunnel is a research tool developed to assist with studying the effects of air moving over or around solid objects.

Aerodynamics (shaping of objects that affect the flow of air, liquid or gas) is a branch of fluid dynamics concerned with the study of forces generated on a body in a flow. The solution of an aerodynamic problem normally involves calculating for various properties of the flow, such as velocity, pressure, density, and temperature, as a function of space and time. Understanding the flow pattern makes it possible to calculate or approximate the forces and moments acting on bodies in the flow. This mathematical analysis and empirical approximation form the scientific basis for heavier-than-air flight.
