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...
