So you think you can speak Canadian eh??

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

I caught crabs once, but the antibiotics cleared it up?


I like this game

[SJB]

Close.

It means, I used to have a job but now I don't.

[Fencergrl]

I still think we should make D'Art and honourary Newfie. I think he'll fit right in.

[D'Art]

I'm quite happy to keep my gene pool slightly larger than a small puddle, thanks.

Anyway, what's my next translation?

[wahrman]

Ahem...many Newfoundlanders are of Irish decent, in fact you can still recognise the accent. Sold? not really. Newfoundland was a British colony until 1949. At which point she joined the confederation under foggy circumstances. Feel free to look that one up for clarification.

Sorry. After a year in Newfoundland I'm a bit defensive of the Rock.

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....

No problem. Though I notice you haven't bothered to try and deny the inbreeding accusation....

[wahrman]

Well, you know....it's an island.

And they are of Irish decent… <fencergrl runs off before she gets pummeled by a leprechaun>

The 2,4 Uh Blue left me with a killer skullcramp.

A case of Labatts (spelling?) Blue left you with a wicked hangover. A whole case? Impressive. Do you have a hollow leg?

Watching porn all day left my senses somewhat frazzled?

Actually... scullcramp is any type of headache, in this context however, hangover would be an accepted answer.

I was surprised to discover skullcramp was a Canadian slang word.... that's always been what hubby has called headaches, so it seemed like such a "normal" word.

"2,4" is short for a case of 24, "Blue" is a brand of beer popular in Canada.
More rep for you Cville when I am able.
