Canadian Words.

[Obrien Xp]

eh
timbit
poutine
double double
whiskey (as in whiskey not bourbon)
a 2-4 (a 24 case of beer)
deke
loonie, twoonie
tuque

there's more but most are pretty un-interesting

I know some of the differences between American and Canadian lingo. Canadians say "signal light", not "blinker". "Remote" instead of "Clicker", "Pop" instead of "soda", "Zed" not "Zee".

Actually I say Zee, I personally think saying Zed at the end of the alphabet sounds really dumb, also I like to say Sodie Pop, it sounds funny

 

[Flunk]

I'm Canadian and I've never heard of half this stuff

To clarify some things

A serviette is made of cloth, a napkin is made of paper.

Timbit is a brand name for donut holes from a donut shop called Tim Hortons (Timmies) of which there are about 3000 in Canada, which means they are literally on every corner everywhere.

Sofa = Couch = Chesterfield

We don't say bonnet here, that's the UK and that only means the hood. The boot is the trunk.

eh is not really a word, it's an inflection like uh or yo and people in Ontario (where I live) don't really say it.

A lot of those differences are because we kept English words or spellings E.G. Zed.

Yay Ontario. I knew hoser was our word but I've never really heard it used in a in real life situation. Oh, I had to watch a video about canadian words in Gr. 10 english. A jelly doughnut in the prairies is called a "jambuster".

Our way that we speak is different than americans, our sentences gradually get higher while americans end lower than they started.

 

[Aptspire]

You mean English Canadian words, or any Canadian words?
cause I'm claiming Frigidaire (it's used to say the refridgerator in Québec, and is close to Frigo)

 

[AvsJoe]

Proper Nouns like Saskatchewan and Canada are pretty darn Canadian, eh?

Trust me, this book is chock full of unique Canadian words and phrases. It is by far the best book I bought in a long time.

(This is not an ad, this is stating a fact)

Hmm, recently ALberta has seemed to claim the term "Red Neck" as their official motto.....I wanna move back out east.
