@splitletters @cabel Ok, yeah, now I remember hearing that as a kid. I haven’t heard it in years though, but I did live outside of Canada for a long time. @splitletters @cabel Seeing @alextm is in Vancouver actually makes sense because it’s a regionalism that only applies to everyone else in Canada http://www.the10and3.com/this-is-how-canada-talks/ @nickfruhling @splitletters @cabel You mean I just really might be an actual Canadian after all? ;) Thanks for this map, it makes sense. I grew up in Ontario (where I would have heard it as a kid), moved to Germany (where “mac and cheese” isn’t a thing because käsespätzle exists), then came back to Canada, but Vancouver. Regionalism in language is really interesting. I’ve changed a few of mine over the years (“pop” became “soda” at some point that I didn’t consciously notice!) |
