No scans. (shrug)

Give me a minute.

:grin:

 

I'm a keener.

 

Hey, I just learned some Canadian slang :banana:

 

Here are more Canadian colloquialisms. Feel free to use these any time you want to sound like a real Canadian.

 

"Have you been eating pickles!?": the Canadian equivalent of "Are you nuts!?"

 

"Beaver farts": when someone belches after eating too much poutine.

 

"Doing a Tom Thomson" as in "Don't go all Tom Thomson on me" or "That guy did a real Tom Thomson": Thomson was a Canadian Group of Seven painter who drowned under mysterious circumstances while canoeing in Algonquin Park.

 

"Put the sled in gear, Alice!": the equivalent of "Hurry up!"

 

"Deslauriers!!": at the end of every lacrosse game the teams meet at centre court and raise their sticks to the sky, and then both the players and fans cry out this name in tribute to Martin Deslauriers, the Quebecer who invented lacrosse during the 1930s Depression. There has been some controversy lately about this ritual, especially in English Canada, because it was recently revealed that Deslauriers, who died in 2002, was a closet separatist who was quietly lobbying for lacrosse to be named as Quebec's national sport once the province separated from the rest of Canada.

 

"Forget it, it's the Parliament": when you're resigned to something that is inevitable/immovable, especially something that is unjust. This didn't come into use until the late 1970s, and it might have been inspired by the last line of the Jack Nicholson movie Chinatown (which was a huge hit in Canada and ran in theatres for 2 1/2 years, a record that has yet to be broken): "Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown".

 

"I feel like corduroy": the equivalent of "I'm hung over."

 

"I'm all out of twigs": the equivalent of "I'm tired."

 

"Glaze my Tim Hortons": a sexual euphemism.
