Let someone else answer.

I'll give you a tougher one: goal suck

Edit: Wait! I have a better one just for you... (I'll give you a hint if you need it). Swamp-donkey

Over here a swamp-donkey is about a 15-pinter, ie one of those you don't want to get caught being with. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. Allegedly....

Yah, swamp donkey = a brown bag date, IE someone who nose dived off the ugly tree and slapped every branch on the way down. I only know goal suck as a hockey term, someone who hangs out mid rink and can't/doesn't like to play the defense. Was that what you had in mind?

Think yourself lucky she didn't land on a trampoline, like most of the locals round here seem to have done....

I only know goal suck with an "=" in between the two words, and in reference to nights out with the guys. Don't think that's what FG was thinking of, though

Cville, you're right about the goal suck...

As for swamp donkey, you're both wayyyy off base on that one. Think about another type of hunting other than the kind you do in bars.

Hmmm, do they have Capibara in Canada? Failing those cute little guys I would guess a moose/deer type critter?

No we don't have Capibaras... and since you don't often see deer in marshy areas... it's a moose.

Oh... and "Freezer Moose" are cattle to the hunters in my husband's family.

Here's another one... (although again I think it's mainly Albertian slang)

kubie burger

I'm all over that one since I'm Ukrainian and Albertan...

Kubasa is some of the tastiest sausage around. Highly recommended from Baba's world-wide...

You (of course) are correct! Normally this contest is open to non-Canadians, but I rather have the questioned answered and the thread bumped to the top, than not... so you will see your rep and my message by selecting "Control Panel" or "User CP".

Oh... since my rep just added 3 green dots to your rep, so of the grumpy folks here might complain that for a newcomer you have a lot of rep. Just tell them it's Fencergrl's fault.

Apologies...I missed the fact that we are trying to stump the international folk with our crazy slang. Thanks for the rep. I'll be watching the rest of this thread with interest...

Glow! You're the perfect person to contribute. I have no idea that something is Canadian slang until I read some common saying or word in one of the many Canadian slang sites.

You on the other hand, know all about the types of sayings that confuse our southern folks.

Edit: Or words/ saying that sound dirty for D'art.
