Alright folks you have 24 hours and then all we canucks are switching to Canadian English...the translation can be found belowBUB Interprets that FAMOUS Canadian phrase *EH*!Subject: Understanding CanadiansIt has come to my attention that some people are having a toughtime understanding Canadians like myself. So I am going to run througha very ief translation of the Canadian dialect and hopefullyease some minds out there.EH= pronounced AY (similar but not the same as huh)Eh is a useful word that is very important and is the basis of all Canadiancommunications.It is used in conjunction with other words, or simply byitself. The tone or the slight difference in exclamations also changesthe meaning.Eh= what did you say?Eh?= what do you thinkEH?= something to say just to end a sentenceEh!!= WOW!!EH!?= what do you mean?Eh??= your joking!!!??EH!!= Hello..you off in the distance!!!Eh?= want a donut?Eh!= sure!!Eh!Eh!= coffee double cream too please!Eh?= what you say when you realize you have no money to pay for itEh..cmon eh?= asking them to let you pay for it next time.hey..eh!= want to go to the drive in movie??Eh...uhuh= yes sure!Eh..y'know= Ill pick you up at 8Eh..cmon!!= well thats early..but okEh..wanna?eh?= lets fool aroundEHHHHHHH= sounds coming from the carhey..um..er eh...= Im pregnantEH?????????= how did that happen?EHHehhEHHehhEHHH= sounds from the delivery roomEHHH ehh EHHH ehh= babys first cryEhh..whadya think eh?= marry meother usefel terms:hoser= a good friend..take off!= you are kidding,no way,fly an airplaneskates= what all canadians wear as first shoes(thats why we walk funny)screech= a nice drinkswish= a drink made from leftover screech barrelsThe Rock= NewfoundlandNewfoundland= pronounced noofunlanDory= Newfoundland cruise linerToronto= pronounced TrawnaLake Ontario= where all sewers drain intoYukon= a drinkTwo Four= case of beersixty pounder= large bottle of screechOver by= still havent deciphered that term yetThe Canadian citizenship test:spell canada= C eh N eh D ehwho was the first Prime Minister=Sir John EH Macdonald
