CANADIANA: Part One
So, molletta was wondering if I knew about the new Governer of Cali.. Then she said a few other things . . . in any case, I am now gonna take time now and then to explain my neck of the woods as best I can. And fear not, I don't plan on saying anything especially stupid regarding that fun little rivalry our respective nations have for each other - we all know that story after all!
Lesson I: Words:
pop: Term for carbonated beverages such as cola or root beer. Yes, 49th and above it ain't soda you're drinkin'!
toque: Hat worn, usually around winter-time. I think the State-wise term is "beany"? I dunno, get back to me on that . . . we know what the hat looks like, though, right?
Now, along with words meaning other words, we also spell things differently. If you've ever noticed from my posts, I spell it "colour", "labour", "honour" and whatnot. I also spell it as "realisation". Yeah, it's a British thing, I think.
Well, I think I've got some fun things to tell you guys in the next little while! Should be fun!
And to finish off, I'll leave ya with this final mindbender: Thanksgiving Day in Canada is this Monday - that's right, BEFORE Halloween! I don't know why that is or when it started, but that's our turkey day. But hey, in the end, we're all getting fat with family, so who cares, right?
