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

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

You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.

You drink Pop, not Soda.

You know that a Mickey and 2-4's mean, "party at the camp, eh!!!"

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.

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

You drive on a highway, not a freeway.

You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

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

You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada.

You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion, Michael J. Fox, John Candy, William Shatner, Tom Green, Matthew Perry, Mike Myers, Neve Campbell, Pamela Anderson Lee & many more, are Canadians.

You know that the CEO of American Airlines is a Canadian.

You design your Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed".

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

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

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

You understand the Labatt Blue commercials.

You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan".

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

You are in grade 12, not the 12th grade.

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

You say "aboot" instead of "about"

Your Beer Case handles Are Big Enough To Fit Your Mitts

When you own 5 pairs of hockey skates and only one pair of shoes.

You know that we don't all live in igloos and ride polar bears to work.

Every murder is reported.

You can understand Jean Chrétien (most of the time, anyway)

You froze your tongue to something metal and survived to tell about it.

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!

I was just aboot, um...about to say that myself !
 
Darn, the fact that I now know Canadians don't ride polar bears everywhere has just destroyed my sense of wonder about their magical realm. ;)
 
I would say some, but not most, apply to me. I have no care for hockey, but I definetely say eh!
 
That couldn't be more true, I work for a Canadian company that has an office here in the U.S and those people couldn't be anymore like that

ITS SO TRUE

"ABOOT"



:rofl:
 
Having spent every summer in Canada on summer vacation ("holidays" to Canadians and most of the rest of the world) as I grew up, I laughed my ass off reading this. It's soooo true!!!

Canadian Tire dollars... OMG I loved that store as a kid. Spent many allowance and grass mowing dollars at that store...bought my first good fishing rod and reel there. :thumbsup:

I remember begging my parents to take us to the bank so I could get the Loonie (or is it Loony?) dollar coin the day it was first released into circulation! I collected coins when I was a kid; that probably explains a few things... lmao

I miss maple leaf cookies, bagged milk, butter tarts, and cheese kurds. Oh and back then, we got beer at "Brewer's Retail," which has apparently since changed its name to The Beer Store. lol I gotta get back up to Canada sometime!

Since i'm living in Quebec and i'm speaking french, most of the items on that list doesn't apply to me. :D EH ?
 
You perk up when you hear the theme song from 'Hockey Night in Canada'.

That's the ring tone on my phone:rofl2:
