arnemgreeves Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Irony is lost on people. Hence “ I could care less” is the direct opposite of “ I couldn’t care less”. And let Americans have their own slangs. I could care less is better than “based” or whatever dumb shit they say. At least they have their own slangs unlike Canada. How come Australia has its own slangs but Canada doesn’t? Australia has the balls at least to try and ditch the Queen I have nothing against Canada or Australia just feeling cheeky. It’s true thiugh aid has fair dinkum and dunny Canada doesn’t. Edited March 7, 2023 by arnemgreeves samhexum and + Unicorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of a rebuff Sir Winston Churchill once gave to a woman who commented to him that he was drunk: "Madam, at least, when I wake up in the morning, I'll be sober. You'll still be ugly.". If it's not the alcohol, it's permanent. + José Soplanucas and thomas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at least get humans despite your esteemed education. A healthy person would eiukd respond “ heh a joke”. And move on and not stupidly assume that everyone is always serious. Looooool.

Au contraire mon frere We have many expressions and words here in Canada that are considered slang - but we don't have the international exposure that American expressions have, nor do we travel and expose others to our language as much as Australians do. Just some examples: Canuck = Canadian Washroom = Bathroom/Toilet Loonie = Our $1 coin Toonie = Our $2 coin Toque (pronounced 'Tooke') = a knit cap Two-Four = 24-pack of beer Hydro = Electricity (ie hydro bill versus electricity bill) Knapsack = Backpack Chocolate Bar = Candy Bar Zed = Zee Snowbirds = Canadians who spend the winters in warmer climates Runners = Sneakers/Tennis Shoes Parkade = Parking Garage Mounties = Canadian police (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) Mickey = Flask sized bottle of alcohol Kerfuffle = a disagreement or fight Keener = someone who is overeager and a suck-up to others KD/Kraft Dinner = boxed macaroni and cheese Homo milk = Whole milk Hang a Larry = turn left Hang a Roger = turn right Gong Show = a situation or event that gets out of hand Fill y'er boots = help yourself to as much as you want Deke = to fake a move to deceive your opponent, particularly in hockey Clicks = kilometeres Beauty/Beaut = referring to someone or something that is exceptionally good Edited March 8, 2023 by CuriousByNature + The Big Guy, + José Soplanucas and thomas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that on Canadian TV series (Kim's Convenience, at least) and always assumed it meant the water bill. Or maybe a separate sewage bill since I think I remember them referring to "water and hydro" bills. Any idea where it comes from, is most electricity in Canada hydro-electricity?

Yes, I believe it's because the majority of our electricity is generated by dams. Water is one of our most abundant resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
