"Chimo"is a greeting in inuktituk, the language of the Inuit of northern Canada.  It was also used in an attempt to establish a distinctly Canadian substitute for "Cheers" or "Skoal" as in making a toast with a beverage. It has since been adopted by organizations as diverse as a softball team, the Canadian Army engineers Mascot, and a youth employment agency as well as the dealership mentioned.

"Charisma is the ability to influence without logic."    Quentin Crisp
