Living stateside is no guarantee of understanding the 
meaning of any of these, or of the original they copy. 
Best meaningless tradition I ever heard was from Uncle 
Dick's homeland, the Annual Alice Springs Boat Race in 
western Australia.  Alice Springs was a dry wash, and 
the locals ran a footrace in it carrying bottomless 
boats.  I heard about it when I visited Australia. 
Some years later it made world news.  It had rained, 
and the boat race had been cancelled because of water 
in the streambed.

Regards...  Dick Gifford
