I totes use Comic Sans for all my Client deliverables. I find that it stands out amongst the crowd of Times New Roman and really gets the point across...(that I am an immature young consultant that doesn't know what he's doing
Toque is all wrong (it's Tuque, you idiotic BI). It's a real thing.
Give'r sounds like a sex position. Never heard.
Homo milk is a long standing joke, we still laugh at it. Nobody calls it that
Out for a rip I've heard before with hicks.
Double double is true. Also called 2-2. Just means 2 creams 2 sugars.
Tim Bit isn't a slang, it's a product, once again failure on BI.
Heard parkade before.
Toonie... err yeah okay. True one.
Tourtière, once again not slang but an actual thing. I'm waiting for BI to fly the Confederate flag considering how retarded they're starting to sound.
Serviette is an actual object... in French instead of English. The actual name is "Serviette de table".
Holiday
Washroom
Chesterfield.... WTF???
Never heard garburator. This shit is getting stupid.
Housecoat, an actual clothing item. Not slang.
Never heard Texas Mickey.
Never heard gotch/gonch/gitch.
Pencil crayons
College Although the explanation is a bit shitty.
Pop. depends where. Not a Canadian slang, also used in the states.
Haligonian, never heard.
Cheque is the word the rest of the world use. It's only "check" in American English.
Bonus ones:
Dep Short for dépanneur, which is a convenience store.
depanneur sounds more like a hardware store to me...depanner is to fix stuff, no?
Home Depot!
Close enough!
Depanneur means it's the entity/person/place that does "dépanne" from the verb "dépanner".
A Panne means breakdown (as in getting stuck on the side of the road)
(to) Dépanne means someone fixing your car, fixing your issue, helping you.
Dépanneur is thus the person that helps and fixes your issues.
They're little convenience stores, open on street corners. Think 7-Eleven. There's chains and there's privately owned ones and most of the privately owned ones are Chinese.
Well, being Canada day yesterday, naturally, we went out for Mexican food for dinner
That being said, they had 5 different salsas on the menu. Wifey got "hot" salsa, while I asked for the next step up- Nuclear. I'm starting to get pissed off with restaurants. The "hot" was super delicious and very flavourful, however, I felt I wanted something a bit hotter. So I tried the nuclear. Sweet. Jesus. Christ. It was like eating pure fire and it caused me some severe pain- this coming from the guy who LOVES eating incredibly hot food.
Why do restaurants around here do that? There's this asian noodle bowl place that is super delisicious also. They claim their heat levels follow Thai standards, so "hot" is very very hot for most people. They have one level above that, which I asked for. The guy told me "you don't want that. I've had 340 people order it and only 2 ever finish. This is something you get on a bachelor party or some shit, for fun. It has 70 grams of ghost peppers in it, amongst other, milder peppers. This will punish you."
Mickey is used in Ontario, never Quebec. Never heard.
Runners I've heard before: Not sure what the reference is.
Stag heard before. Never Stagette. WTF. You've never heard of a stagette? Must be a French thing...
Hang a larry/hang a roger??? what the actual fuck WTF. no idea.
two four.... nope. Usually a "24" is anything. Yup. a two four of beer. or a flat of beer.
Freezies (because of the brand) Yup
Toque is all wrong (it's Tuque, you idiotic BI). It's a real thing. Nope, it's actually Toque. If you speak english. There's even a pub in Banff called Toque.
Give'r sounds like a sex position. Never heard. Must be an Alberta/Saskatchewan thing. Sigh... Generally only used to make fun of rednecks.
Homo milk is a long standing joke, we still laugh at it. Nobody calls it that Yup, this still stands
Out for a rip I've heard before with hicks. Lol, if you drive an import around here, you've likely said this at some point.
Double double is true. Also called 2-2. Just means 2 creams 2 sugars. Yup
Tim Bit isn't a slang, it's a product, once again failure on BI. Yup
Heard parkade before. What do you guys call them? We say parkade all the time, for multi-level parking lots. All the signs even say "parkade" around town
Toonie... err yeah okay. True one. Yup
Tourtière, once again not slang but an actual thing. I'm waiting for BI to fly the Confederate flag considering how retarded they're starting to sound. Polo is right again
Serviette is an actual object... in French instead of English. The actual name is "Serviette de table". Right again. No one actually says "pass me a serviette". This isn't 1850.
Holiday yup
Washroom yup
Chesterfield.... WTF??? the box thing at the end of your bed...
Never heard garburator. This shit is getting stupid. Seriously? What planet are you from?
Housecoat, an actual clothing item. Not slang. Yup
Never heard Texas Mickey. Must be a 'berta thing. Those super huge bottles of booze (I think they are at least 120oz)... standard name around here
Never heard gotch/gonch/gitch. Haven't heard this in about 20 years.
Pencil crayons yup
College Although the explanation is a bit shitty. yup
Pop. depends where. Not a Canadian slang, also used in the states. yup
Haligonian, never heard. ???????? no idea.
Cheque is the word the rest of the world use. It's only "check" in American English. yup

I think they mixed that one up with Aussie translations:
And I recognized most of those "translations" from living on the east coast for a while. There's a lot of crossover between Canada and the older parts of say, Massachusetts.
In fact, I think I'll go get a grinder for lunch and wash it down with some tonic. Eh.

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SELL THAT?!
Lol I fucking hate that. Doesn't happen often but when it does... there's the La Cage aux Sports here, it's a sports bar with overpriced food. They have these chicken wings w/ sauce that are decent.
There's Buffalo Bull's Eye ones, just fine and smokey. There's 9-1-1 ones, definitely a spicy kick but very flavorful. Then they got their new ones, Kamikaze.
Just too hot. Not enjoyable at all. It's used as a dare between drunk guys. I've never seen anyone eat these and enjoy them.
They don't even let you order 6 of them, max you can get is 3... stupid.
Looks like both are acceptable, just by scouring the net. I think it boils down to which part of the country use reside. Both seem to be "correct" when typed in Microsoft Word also. Interesting!
Naw Adam! I would never, friends don't do petty stuff.
Happy 4th, my friends.
Jeremy you're drunk, it's the 2nd.

Two years ago day for day, on July 2nd 2013 I became the proud uncle of these amazing twin sisters. Since then I've found a use for my bland fridge which is now plastered with pictures of them. And as any uncle who respects himself, I'll be there to break the neck of any boy who ever dare to break their heart!
brilliant.. i may have to..
