I say "wicked" all the time and then realize that people on here might think that's a little weird. it's pretty common in the northeast. I used to think, "why don't they just say 'very?'" and now I say "wicked cool" and stuff like that all the time! it's definitely a staple of my vocabulary.
I say mmmmtitties all the time
hahah
ah, story time with dp! :D
'chunk' - to throw with vigor
'yall' - contraction, you all
'spigot' - an outside faucet
Those are the only anyone has called me on ... but it's not like I leave Texas very much anyway.

I'm Canadian, eh
Also: pop

That reminds me of another!
'Coke' - any form of soda/pop
'chili' - short for chili con carne that contains no beans or vegetables that aren't chilis. Any chili that throws in a bunch of vegetables and beans gets made fun of.
haha, "chunk." people say "chuck" up here sometimes for that.
I say spigot sometimes too!
we call that stuff soda up here.

A lot of the canadians here like to use rockpile and dust bag
Ohhhhh yeah. Fixin'. Forgot about that one Gatz.
Soda Water? wtf?

i don't think any of those things count that you just posted
pop/soda/coke makes sense, because it's the same thing with different names in different places
626 is still 626 here, i just never use it. same with pho or boba, it's still pho or boba here, i just never use it.

as far as I know, I don't hear people saying
hit me up, i'm in the 406
or i'm driving on the 90 about to hit the 94
boba isn't called boba in other places

oh, well maybe fair enough about the boba (i figured that was its only name)
i'd imagine no one uses interstate numbers like that in billings because the only people going between 90/94 are from huntley.
i use interstate numbers when i'm in metro areas (or even sioux falls because they have a loop.)

people say route numbers like that here, but without "the" in front of them. like, "I'm on 93 about to hit 95 south," or something.
I usaully say, I'm Hopping on the 288, about to hit 610. Then hit up 45 for some lunch.
Damn commuter city.
Damn commuter city.
so you say freeway names for food stops? :o
Well, that means he'll be eating on a place that's located on or near 45 (shittiest highway EVER).
Fuck no! 45 is the best compared to freakin' 290. I don't what it is with Phi's part of town, but there is a wreck at that freeway every hour. Or that's what it seems like. It's a straight LINE!!!
haha
got some intense dissent here

oh, america. we have one highway in canada.

Don't worry, Canada. You'll grow up soon enough.
Gatz: What are you talking about? 290 may be beyond shitty, but it doesn't compare with the bad traffic on your side of town. Besides ... no one actually gets on 290 during the day unless they don't know what they're doing ... so point taken.

"wicked"
clarification re: wicked
I, and I think most people around here, only use it as a substitute for "very" and not as an expression of how cool something is, like "that show was wicked." we say "that food was wicked good" or something like that :).

The word has tremendous diversity.
"wicked awesome": the thing i heard most during my week in boston... it was even in a commercial promoting boston.
haha, told you :).
I've been using "fuck you" in place of very. "sinister" as well.
now that I'm in 'norcal', I hear "hella" every day.
Lately Ive been saying ...
Damn that's ace of spades

I can remember this being a huge fascination when I was in Oregon for three weeks surrounded by Americans. For the first couple of days I would stop someone and double take, then a few more days I would imitate jokingly, eventually by the end of my stay, it seemed so natural to me that I cant even remember any of the differences.
I guess though if I had to think about it... Yeah Im drawing a blank.
Also as far as Canadianisms go I've only lived in western Canada. The east coast is an entirely different world. One of the quickest things to come to my mind is how the easterners ordered cigarettes.
In Alberta as well as in Ontario our cigarettes come in packages of 20 or 25. In Alberta packages of 20s are relatively new. The standard is 25. so If you walked into a store and asked me for a package of DuMaurier King Size, I would have grabbed you a package of 25. If you wanted a package of 20 you would say could I get a 20 pack of DuMaurier King Size. The Ontarioians confused the hell out of me by asking for a small pack of DuMaurier (20) and a Large pack of DuMaurier (25). On top of that we also have regular length cigarettes and king size so it sounds really simple but at the time it drove me nuts.

double double = double cream, double sugar coffee

apparently there is also some differences re: pop-soda. we say pop, you say soda.
also what nations put on their fries is really amusing. of course most people use ketchup but there are regional variations (e.g. belgium mayonnaise, canada white vinegar (or cheese curds and gravy..))
personally i like the mayo & ketchup combo, russian style.

Milk in bags? WTF! Omg, we had this back in the elementary days,
I just realized this one, and Gatz is the only one on here that probably uses it: feeder.
Feeder = frontage road, access road, etc. (ie, those roads that run along side highways.)

haha i hoped it would elicit such a reaction. oh canada.
At Six Flags in Texas, I walked up to a drink vendor and asked for a small Coke. He responded, "Sure. Which kind?" Thinking he was joking, I just sort of looked at him until I realized he was actually waiting for an answer. So I told him "Coke" again and he reacted immediately in getting me the drink, as if this was a perfectly normal transaction...
I found out later this WAS normal, as it is their generic term for pop as well as a specific name brand. Like people asking for a "Kleenex" but really just wanting a tissue in general.

filthy awesome is pretty good. also 'dirty' as a positive characteristic. perhaps that is just my twisted group of friends in kingston.
'sorry' - apparently canadians apologise for everything. some brit i'm in contact with pointed that out this morning. damn.
Canadians say "sorry" really funnily too.

somewhere between that and sowry.
ok someone just posted this on another message board and it is way more accurate to the Canadian way of saying sorry.
