What Slanguage Do You Speak?

I'm amused that all the Canadian slang seems to have come from the drive-thru at Tim Horton's.

Yes, Tim's is the ultimate in Canadiana! (At least since stubbies went out of circulation.)

*is mystified* What are stubbies?

[ancarett]

Short beer bottles that used to be the Canadian standard and were phased out in the early eighties. http://www.stubby.ca/

Oh! Those! You mean they don't use them any more?

Gosh, you can tell I'm not much of a beer drinker. :)

[ancarett]

Yes, no stubbies any more. Not that I drink a lot, myself, but they were certainly a part of the national culture.

Hee. Thanks for sharing. I seemed to have a higher percentage of prison slang than I would've hoped...

(Yikes.)

Somehow, I scored exceedingly well on Victorian slang and British slang. I will say, however, that their Southern slang really wasn't. I live here, I know from Southern slang. :)

I seem to have an equal amount of prison slang and Victorian slang, though I was stuck for a while there in the middle, trying to find a way to convey that a "tea leaf" is something you make tea with.

Yeah, that was the point at which I gave up. They should have had a "no slang" option.

I was frustrated by that one too.
