I totally thought Lethal's quote was some kind of canadian slang about wolf chowing on carpet.

I did at first, too, but after Wolf's unfunny reply, I realized I don't know any canadian slang. I demand a lesson!

All you need is "eh?"

Eh?

No, seriously, maybe i'm not anglo enough, but i don't hear sentences ending by "eh?" that often.*

*in fact, the number of time i've heard that is near 0

I find it is about 85% stereotype.
The other 5% is simply the fact that most Canadians don't hear it when it is said because it is somewhat normal.
The final 10% is more of a regional difference. I find that northern Ontarians say it more often than any of the places I've lived.
Either way, mostly it is a large exaggeration.

You still haven't taught a lesson in Canadian slang! I expect an Australian one as well.

Hush with your emoticons! Fixed my original statement.

cheez.wiz · Post by **cheez.wiz** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 2:07 pm

my numerous emoticons...

also, more on topic, i'm all in for Super Mario RPG, i've lost it in a drive mishandling and haven't found it since.*

And if you guys love gestion games and space combats, i would recommand that you play some Sins of a solar empire. It's all about conquering planets and solar systems and gestion and other stuff like that.

*that's cause any P2P thingies make my current computer crash.

I was in Edmonton maybe 10 or 15 years ago and I kid you not, it ended EVERY sentence. All of them.

I dunno Lethal I say eh a lot. Not every sentence mind you but a fair bit. I think you'll find as a Canadian you've grown use to hearing it. Now I agree we don't say it as often as people think we do, but we do say it.

Example: A group of us (all Canadian from the Golden Horseshoe area) went to Jamaica. At one of the bars we were just sitting there chatting when the bartender said "You guys are Canadian right?" Now none of us mentioned Canadia, or had any flags, wearing any toques etc. We asked how he knew and he said we were saying eh a lot. We didn't even realize we were saying it. After making a mental note to listen for it we did say it a lot.

Oh but hell ya. Northern Ontario? Forget about it. Also I think Americans think we talk like Newfies. I've never said "aboot" or "hoser"
