A Canadian

Rating:2.5

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]

hahahaha, we (and by "we" i mean Acadians from southern Nova-Scotia) tend to abbreviate most of our words anyways. its so much faster talking "Chiac" (or Frenglish) than standard french. its because we are surrounded with too many english people, thus influencing our french. Comment by: No�

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

It's not actually called a bloody Caesar, we just call it a Caesar. Comment by: Shelly

Brutal

Posted by: wwRating:1.0

Details

You are bad at something

""Adam, you are brutal at hockey.""

In the US this means extremely good, as in "The guitarist laid out some BRUTAL riffs" Comment by: Matthew Rated:3/5

It also means intense or bad in the U.S too, I hardly hear it used as good Comment by: Kayla

I believe the definition is lacking the intensity of the word. Brutal is like trudging through chest deep snow in a blizzard with no clothes.... Comment by: Hannah

I use this all the time and I live in Ontario. Brutal is when somthing is insanely difficult to deal with, like a brutal song is hard to listen to or a brutal walk is like doing the whole Bruce Trail in one run. Comment by: Shauna

usually you use it like this... "man that football game last night was brutal" it's more to describe something shitty. Comment by: smt Rated:5/5

I use that all the time and i use it exactly like that : Dude Your brutal at this and brutal at that... never knew it was slang Comment by: Dex

buck

Posted by: tarapotoRating:0.9

Details

A Canadian slang term meaning "dollar". Probably as common as saying "dollars", or perhaps more common in some places, and it's usage has spread outside of Canada as well. "I have 20 bucks in my wallet"

"A buck" is also a highly offensive racial slur for a native male Comment by: Peter

It's also used as a young man. "He's a young, good-looking buck" Comment by: Atom Petrelli Rated:5/5

Many many years ago(I think in the 1800s) a buck's(male deer) skin was worth about a dollar which is where this term comes from. Of course the values of money have drastically changed now so dollars are now worth much less, but peole still say stuff like "That only costs a buck." or "I made 20 bucks." Comment by: Tiffani Rated:5/5

Used in Australia like crazy, almost completely replacing 'dollar' Comment by: Ceds

Yep! Same here in the US. Buck and dollar are both used, but buck is way more popular. Comment by: Lina

ya, we call antelope bucks in south africa. it's a common term Comment by: mel
