• Speak Canadian. ATMs are ABMs. Street hockey is "shinny." Butt is "arse." Beer is "brew." Stuff is "whatnot." Newfoundlanders are "Newfies." Never say the "g" in "ing." And yay is not a cheer, it's a measurement, as in: "I'm lookin' for my malamute, about yay big and yay long?"

This is the part I don't get. To me it is an ATM. Shinny is a game of pickup, not street hockey. I never use the term "arse". Ditto for brew.

Maybe its just people in Van that use these terms. We'll have to wait for eventstructure to verify for us.

From the things above, I use some of them and kno ppl who use the expressions I do not. Neither I nor anyone I kno is Canadian.
