18 Canadian Sayings That Leave Tourists Puzzled
Canada has two official languages: English and French. But if you've ever chatted with someone from Canada, you would know that there's a third unofficial language: slang. Over on r/AskACanadian, people are sharing Canadian sayings that continuously confuse tourists. Here are 18 lines in a typical Canadian's vocab that are sure to make you say "huh?" "Oh yeah no, for SURE, bud." "'Having a dart while going out for a rip' doesn't make much sense when you think about it too much LOL. IDK if this is even said outside of Alberta. It basically translates to 'having a cigarette while going out for a drive.'" "'My buds and I had BeaverTails last week.' It's really funny to watch their reactions." "Saying 'I'm okay' when declining something. Confused the frick out of my friends from France." "You can just go to the beer store and ask for a two-four." "I had a roommate from Japan and one day she came to me, very concerned. 'Why do Canadians gobble at Tim Hortons?' she asked me. I was very confused by this. At this point, my American roommate piped up that she had also thought they were saying 'gobble gobble.' She later realized they were saying 'double double,' but that it didn't make any more sense. I explained they were ordering a coffee with two cream and two sugar. Apparently 'double double' is a uniquely Canadian thing." "I don't think it confuses tourists, but over the years I've had a few tourists politely giggle when I've said 'sorry?' instead of 'can you repeat that?'" "We had a guy from Africa start working at our job site (I'm in Canada). I was the lead for our department, so I temporarily assigned him with one of our veteran guys for 15 minutes while I quickly did something else. When I got back, the young guy looked so scared and my coworker had a bit of a smirk on his face. I asked the new guy what was wrong and he said: 'That man said he is going to teach me how to fuck the dog!' I couldn't help myself and I burst out I explained what it meant, and even though he said he understood, he didn't come back the next day or ever..." "'Can you pass me a serviette?' I switch between napkin and serviette, but the word serviette seems to throw people off, mostly Americans." "In the US, saying 'I'm from the prairies' tends to get weird looks. In Canada, I think people understand you probably mean AB/SK/MB." "'Hydro' is often assumed to be the water bill instead of electric service." "When Torontonians say the name of the city and it doesn't involve any Ts. 'Torono.'" "Stay where you're to til I comes where you're at!" "I ate shit coming down the stairs the other day..." "I was at a resort recently and the concierge said 'parkade' and started to explain it was a covered parking area. I said 'It's OK, I'm Canadian, I know what a parkade is'😆." "Get me a 40 of Crown and a mickey of Screech please and thanks. I get the 'is Canada even real?' jokes now." "Sorry...(we're not apologizing)." "'Fill yer boots.' We say that one in PEI, it basically means 'go ahead' or 'give 'er.'" Did these phrases leave you baffled too? Even as a Canadian, I was confused by some of these myself (people from Newfoundland really do have their own language, I swear). Do you have any more Canadian slang to add to the mix?
