Top 25 Signs you're Canadian..

Post by MKSheppard »

From my Granny:

1. You're not offended by the term "HOMO MILK".

2. You understand the phrase "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield."

3. You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.

4. You drink Pop, not Soda.

5. You know what a Mickey and 2-4 mean

6. You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars and no Americans. :mrgreen:

7. You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.

8. You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

9. You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

10. You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group.

11. You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

12. You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion & many more, are Canadians.

13. You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian!

14. You know what a touque is.

15. You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

16. You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee"

17. Your local newspaper covers the national news on 2 pages,but requires 6 pages for hockey.

18. You know that the four seasons mean: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road work.

19. You know that when it's 25 degrees outside, it's a warm day.

20. You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.

21. You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan". (Sas-Kat-chew-wan)

22. You perk up when you hear the theme song from 'Hockey Night in Canada'.

23. You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade.

24. "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary, and is more polite than,"Huh?"

25. You actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all of your Canadian friends!!!! and then you send them to your American friends just to confuse them...further (heehee)

Some of those vary from region to region in the US.


4. You drink Pop, not Soda.
In my area (Southwest Indiana), 'Coke' is used as a generic term for any soft drink. Calling it 'pop' or 'soda' immediately marks you as a non-native.
7. You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
That's true around here. The only place I've ever seen 'Pike' used as part of a highway name was in Maryland when I was there back in February.
8. You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
True around here as well.

17. Your local newspaper covers the national news on 2 pages,but requires 6 pages for hockey
Around here, it's basketball. :roll:

Shit! Every single one of those points is true!

Except for 11 and 24. I don't say eh. And I don't give a flying fuck if American shows talk about Canada or not.

Sadly, most of these apply to West Virginia.
