So you think you can speak Canadian eh??

[ThatReallyHurt]

You can't return these - they're Heidleberg stubbies...

[Fencergrl]

doesn't suck slough water

This was the only part that didn't sound familar.... Canada's a big country with lots of regional slang. I'm surprised how "normal" words can be so confusing. I wonder if those in the colonies/ commonwealth have an easier time or have some fun slang of their own?

I have an easier one.... now that Jbirch had provided part of the translation...

My old beater was a 3 banger.

[CvilleFencer]

My old car was a three cylinder?

[jBirch]

My old beater was a 3 banger.

My ex-wife could do 3 men at once?

James.

[CvilleFencer]

That was my second guess!

[CvilleFencer]

Probably not Canadian slang at all, but I want to play to... No Americans please, this is for the snowmen... (and snow women )

I decided it was time to go regulate my crew so I got fly, slapped in some grillz, grabbed my pimp stick and slid into my blinged whip with a trophy on each arm. I was ridin dirty, but I had no fear cause I'm a legit player.

I owe you rep Cville.... as you are correct. As for JBirch... thank-you for sharing.

Alright I'll give this a go...

It was time I spent time with my friends, so I dressed up, got in my car with a girl on each arm....

I admit a good chunk I don't understood. I suspect it has to do with my age rather than being Canadian. So if Inq can provide a complete translation without any aid from others or google. I will accept that perhaps I don't know American as well as I thought.

[ThatReallyHurt]

Have you ever been to a social?

[CvilleFencer]

Have you ever been to a social?

Yes. At lest the US version...

Not Bad. Inq is at somewhat of a disadvantage though, being a desert dweller. I have to think that he does not have many neighbors that use the sort of lexicon mentioned above...

He was the only over 40, American f-netter without kids I could think of.
And yes I hate that I am using him to reference my own disadvantage at being an over 40 Canadian without kids.

I think I'll have to disqualify myself. This language is very close to Northern Michigan speak.

Heh, stubby? Bad memories of 24s of Falstaff.

In the interest of international peace, here's the official translation:

"I took off my winter hat, threw it on the couch, took off my hoodie, took off my thermal underwear, threw both of them in the laundry hamper, grabbed my bath robe, had my breakfast cereal (like wheaties, but slightly different) with whole milk and sat down in front of the tv with a beer in a short (12 fl. oz.) bottle (http://www.stubby.ca/) after working on my crappy car. Ah the joys of being a go-getter who isn't exhausted."

James.

[wahrman]

No Americans? My nationality is not helping me.

I don't have a bloody clue what you are saying.

Oh man, wobbley pop! My relatives on the farm use that one.

Here's one:

"Ahhhh you come from away".

[D'Art]

"Ahhhh you come from away".

I don't recognise you, so you can't be my relative/spouse/both?

[jBirch]

I don't recognise you, so you can't be my relative/spouse/both?

That HAS to be just about the most accurate translation of that Maritimism I have ever heard.

Rep to you, D'Art.

James.

LOL... Spoken like a man familar with the breed... my condolences

'sides those that bless our eastern shores always reminded me of the Scots... didn't they originally come from Scotland? Or was it Ireland... something about the Potato famine comes to mind...

[SJB]

Here's another Maritimism:

"Aye used to b' a fisherman, yes I did".

[D'Art]

'sides those that bless our eastern shores always reminded me of the Scots... didn't they originally come from Scotland? Or was it Ireland... something about the Potato famine comes to mind...

Just cos they might happen to be a bunch of piss-heads who like fighting each other, doesn't make them either Scottish nor Irish...

Anyway, that was probably the bit that was sold for 1p about 350 years ago....
