Wango

Wes from Port Hope:

"My word is WANGO! Said with authority by Canadian legend and cultural icon Don Cherry to describe a bone-crushing collision of two or more hockey players on the ice. I use it cheers an epic collision of two or more glasses; to celebrate the collision in one moment of various people on various paths which may never cross again. A uniquely Canadian word with a tip o' the proverbial hat to Grapes! And it's fun to say! Sure to start a barrage of Don Cherry impressions bar-wide...
Cheers! Wango!"

Thanks, Cheers for Canada
