A Canadian

Rating:2.0

Details

Used when ordering a certain type of beer "Molson Canadian" EX: "Gimme a Canadian bartender!"

"Hey, I'm not a lumber jack, Or a fur trader, And I dont live in an igloo, Or eat blubber, Or own a dog sled, And I don't know, Jimmy, Jally or Suzie from Canada, Although I'm sure they're really really nice, I have a Prime Minister not a President, I speak English and French not American, And I pronounce it about not "a-boot", I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack I believe in peackeeping not policing. Diversity not assimilation, And that the beaver is a truley proud and noble animal. A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch. And it is pronounced "zed", not "zee", "ZED"! Canada is the 2nd largest landmass! The 1st nation in hockey! And the best part of North America! My name is Joe and I am Canadian!" [from the Song I Am Canadian by Molson]

Canadians are the Poor White Trash of North America. Comment by: Dick Steele

Well Mr. Steele you you-alls seem to forget What Canada and Canadians have done for the so called excited states of america. There really to many to mention but check GOOGLE. Just a couple things. 1st remember Iran who was it hid your diplomats and got them out of the country. 2nd remember 911, who was it gave food and shelter and comfort to the passengers on the planes who had to land here. Did we ask for anything in return? No, all we asked for was a thank-you. Did we get it no. Comment by: Brian R. Cuthill Rated:5/5

Yeah, I'm American but I've been to Canada, and they're all super nice, and I might live in Canada some day. If you talk trash about Canada in front of me, you're getting it. Comment by: Not My name

Beep

Details

Orange juice "blend" breakfast drink. Saskatchewan folks will know this one!

"After more than 50 years, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue Beep juice. While Beep was once a staple in fridges and lunchboxes across Nova Scotia, sales have been declining for the past several years. Beep will start disappearing from store shelves over the next few weeks, so if Beep has a special place in your heart, pick up a carton soon."

Is Beep the Canadian equivalent of Tang? Comment by: Joe

BEEP and Tang are completely different. BEEP was a blend of small amounts of fruit juices (apple, orange, prune, apricot and pineapple) and a lot of sugar water. Our dairy in Utah used to carry it back in the 1960s. Tang is a powdered drink mix made popular by its use by astronauts in the early NASA space program. Comment by: Waltzboy

Bloody Caesar

Posted by: GuyboRating:2.5

Details

Created and primarily consumed in Canada. The Bloody Caesar is used to ease the agony of a hangover after pounding through a two-four or a forty pounder. It typically contains vodka, Clamato (a proprietary blend of tomato juice and clam broth), hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and is served with ice in a large, celery salt-rimmed glass, typically garnished with a stalk of celery and wedge of lime. It was invented in Calgary, Alberta in 1969 by restaurateur Walter Chell to celebrate the opening of a new Italian restaurant in the city. It quickly became a popular mixed drink, but remains virtually unknown outside Canada. It is claimed that over 350 million Caesars are consumed in Canada annually, and it has inspired numerous variants. Source Wikipedia

"I need a Bloody Ceasar after finishing off a whole Two-Four that I bought last night at the In and Out store next to Crappy Tire. "

In the Northwest States we call that a clamdigger. Been my favorite summertime drink for years. I take mine with a pickle and green olives - delicious! Comment by: AJ Rated:5/5

I saw this at a beach bar in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A lot of Canadienses go here to winter. Comment by: Young Diefenbaker Rated:5/5

I am a Canadian living in Montana and I think more people here drink Cesar's than Bloody Mary's whether they be American or Canadian Comment by: Miriam

Booter

Details

If you step in a puddle deep enough that the water flows into your shoe (or ... boot) and your foot gets completely soaked, you have yourself a booter. (see also: Soaker)

In the American military, a "booter" is a new guy, especially one who doesn't know how the "real" military works yet, only that which he or she has been taught in boot camp, hence, "booter." It's a lot more polite than calling someone a FNG, or f*cking new guy. Comment by: Mark
