My friend Scott (aka Chump-eh?) told me about half of those last summer. He's Canadian and from Calgary.............
Signs you're from the SOUTH.......I am
1) A trailer is not a mode of transportation.
2) You know that Bourbon comes from Kentucky and everything else is just whiskey.
3) You know that ya'll is singular not plural.
4) You know the difference between a coke and Coca-Cola.
5) You know the meaning of the words patters, warsh, and play-purties.
6) You can tell the difference between a South Carolina accent and an Alabama accent, a Kentucky accent and a Mississippi accent, etc. There is no such thing as a southern accent.
7) You know how to shape sing.
8) Wal-Mart is the place to shop.
9) The words "dang" and "ya'll" are and important part of your vacabulary, and you would never say "you guys" or even worse "yous guys".....
and we never say " we are getting ready to go out"
we say " we are fixin to go"
And we don't talk funny---others hear funny :p
Cassandra?!?!? that freind?! Scott- *tsk tsk*... from CALGARY!? whadya think ur doing befreinding an edmontonian (me) and a calgarian (him)?!?! Thats against the rules!!! Lol... This is a rule that most edmontonians live by... we dun like Calgary-- although since this summer ... i have about 11 freinds from calgary... lol but still.. *tsk tsk*...
i have a question, why is it sooooo amusing to americans that we say eh?! its a part of our vocab!
I always got the biggest laugh from the TV show, "THE RED GREEN SHOW." Is that disrespectful of me?
hahaha awesome show... but the show you REALLY gotta watch (@ least if ur canadian ) is "Talking To Americans"... its this show where these ppl go out into random neighbourhoods in random cities and pick on random people and ask them questions and tell them random (untrue) facts about canada and see how they react... some of them have never heard of canada, some of them believe our old prime minister was Mr.Jean Poutine, some of them believe the Legislature is an igloo, and s0o0o much more... *sigh* what a hilarious show...
to funny and dont forget a canadian knows the difference between a timmys and a tuney .
and a southern knows not to get coffee at a fast food place ( what is this your dirty dish water ) i want coffee in this coffee..lol
I'm a going up to Can-a-deer to get a Can-a-Beer.

"My fah-der, he was born in Canader." ("My father was born in Canada.")
And that's pretty much how he talked.
For real. Grand Falls, New Brunswick. 1910
Loved my dad. He was a tough, rugged French Cannuck (also Scottish.). Good woodsman and expert whittler. Made his own violins from scratch with not much more than a jack knife.
I was born across the river from Grand Falls - Presque Isle, Maine. 1950. (Yes, my father was 40 when I showed up on the doorstep.)
Even though I no longer live in Miane, I'm still considered a "Mainer."
I started a new job in November of 2004 and soon found out that another guy I work with was also born in Grand Falls. He says it's changed alot since my father grew up there. Supposed to be a gorgeous place. It's also a famous place in Canada for various reasons.
Canada aslo has a very interesting flag design. Not sure if anyone here has noticed, but if you focus on the white area on both sides of the maple leaf, it looks like two people yelling at each other (kind of that famous optical illusion thing - is it a vase or is it two profiles.) Anyway, I've always wondered if that hidden image in the flag design was intentional. It might symbolize the country's, French/English language arguments and disputes.
Kim,
Scott doesn't live in Calgary.........he just works there with the Calgary Round-Up Band (I think that's what they're called)...
