    Salute: Hand motion used as a sign of respect and no, "the bird" doesn't qualify

    Bird:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Papa Oom Mow Mow: Nonsense words in the Oak Ridge Boys' song "Elvira" taken from the Rivington's hit song also recorded by the Beach Boys--the songwriter must have been short on inspiration, much like "Land of a Thousand Dances" "I say a na, na na na na, na na na na"
