Synopsis
Anorak, butter tart, ballicatter, kayak, stubby, toonie--these are familiar Canadian words. But where did they come from? What quirks of language and fate have made them truly Canadian? Even though we speak the same language as the Yanks and the Brits, Canadians have a unique dialect that is recognized around the world, and each province has its own eccentricities.Edrick Thay presents well-known and obscure Canadianisms in this often-humorous glossary of words from across the country:· all-Canadian words--Canuck, hockey, loonie, Medicare, tuque and the ubiquitous eh· Québècois words--tourtiére, cretons, shivaree and Bombardier· words from Ontario--BeaverTails, reeve, Wonderbra and zipper· West Coast terms--potlatch, hooch, Nanaimo bar and skookum· words of the sea-faring Atlantic provinces--screech, ballicatter, slob ice and blue nose· aboriginal words--skookum, potlatch, chinook and high muckamuck· western Canadianisms--canola, Bloody Caesar, bunnyhug, Métis and stubble jumper· and words of the North--inuksuk, Klondike, mukluk, pingo and toboggan.
