The opening of the first show had me hooked. "How many times you pull your horn today, bud?" "Awe, he's bashful." "Don't worry, Kitten. We won't tell anyone."
I'm from the U.S. South, and it's nuts to me how comfortable I feel with this slang. It's not the same words, but the slang is formed in the same way, with the same rhythm and cadence. Reminds me of home. I live in California now, and nothing here has ever felt as natural and "homey" to me as the conversation I just witnessed. Love this show.
I love that some of the newfie slang that was mentioned here seemed unknown to Keeso, and it managed to make it into a later episode when the hockey team had to play the Newfies.
Nah the toughest man fights the other sides toughest man, and the actual toughest guy's dudes just pick up the straggler suckers son. You don't need suckers in a tough man fight. But anything is fair game at a bush party
Rob Evans Ricky Julian and bubs need there help and when a man asks for help, you help him. Corey and Trevor would have their birds up for katy. Would be hilarious.
That has to be my favourite as well. This happened to my dad when we moved to Calgary (originally from Regina). He would be doing business with someone and say, "oh hey I recognize your last name, do you happen to be so-in-so's relative." He seemed to know everyone from small town Saskatchewan.
yeah, West Michigan is 'bout the same. They say you can connect anyone on the planet in 7 steps. It's at most 3 for West Michigan Dutch! We call it playing Dutch Bingo
As American, I'd say these Canadian guys are as fun as hell... Like the cool cousin you didn't even know you had until you got drunk with him at Thanksgiving.
Yeah I didn't really know what I was watching at first, just that I wanted to see more. I'm halfway through season 5 now. Fortunately, the re-watchability of it is fantastic.
It's awesome to see how much Jared appreciates learning new local dialect. He even went onto incorporate a lot of Newfie slang mentioned here in the later seasons against the Newfie team, like "knows" and "all hands".
As someone from Ireland (actually from a town called Letterkenny in Donegal also) hearing someone use 'Donnybrook' at the other side of the world is fascinating. I believe the term originally came from a rowdy fair that used to take place in Donnybrook, Dublin. I understand that the term is now uncapitalised in the dictionary but it still amazes me how people use it.
Historians and linguists hundreds of years in the future... "The roots of the now indecipherable Canadian dialect all started with a television series called Letterkenny."
Hello from a high school Canadian Studies teacher. Schitt's Creek wasn't on my students' radar and THAT English Canadian show won at least one Emmy. So Letterkenny is not even a thing. And yet I feel compelled to use this interview in class along with some inconvenient truths about English-Canadian culture: 1. Newfoundland English predates "Canada" by 300+ years. 2. American English predates "Canada" by 200+ years. 3. Newfoundland English is a blend of British languages, dialects and variants brought by colonizers and concentrated on a large, isolated rocky island. 4. American English is a mess of British languages, dialects and variants brought by colonizers and spread over a broad continent. 5. American English speakers have been migrating north since 1760, propelled by war, re-colonization, more war, genocide and more wars. Language migration without settlement began with The Old Farmer's Almanac and continues today via every media platform. 6. Newfoundland English speakers have been migrating west since 1950, propelled by poverty and global overfishing. Language migration without settlement began in 1969 with "Going Down the Road", followed by Stompin' Tom, CODCO, Great Big Sea, and "Republic of Doyle", and continues to this day with "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" and "Come from Away". 7. The similarities of rural (North) American English have survived centuries of standardization by colonial authorities up until the present day. And thank the thundering Lord Jesus for that, boy. CLASS DISMISSED
Thomas Willard that’s like how it is in ST. Louis MO in the states😂 when you meet someone from STL, the first question is typically “Oh, where did you go to high school?”
“Pert near” is also Southern U.S. slang. Growing up in Tennessee I heard it all the time, i.e. “He live up your way?” “Pert near!” Also see: Over yonder.
I always just heard variants of "damn near" where I'm from. Semi rural NC. "Dang near broke my arm fourwheelin' the other day" "Darn near had a heart attack when my jeep rolled"
@@LauraRossflyswatter Yep. 'I reckon' was also a big one. Funny how much of Southern/Appalachian English is so closely tied to the early English/Scottish settlers, i.e. 'breeches' became 'britches.' I've heard my grandmother (Tennessee-born) use the word 'dunning,' which is old English and which means money owed to someone, as well as using the word 'receipt' instead of 'recipe.'
The Letterkenny slang was GREAT - brought back a lot of memories, being born and raised in Detroit and playing hockey. My kids turned me on to it - Congratulations Jared!
As a truck driver myself it's funny to hear them use the phrase "good buddy" on the show because on the CB radio "good buddy" is how you call someone homosexual.
It amazes me with the fact I'm australian but I have never had a problem understanding the Canadian slang in letterkenny.. watching this just confirmed that for me lol
Same. I think it’s because if you hang out with the right people different hilarious slang terms are being thrown around so often that we have to infer what is meant by context. Which is what I found I do with Letterkenny. Great show
going through for the second time and better than the first. you know what to expect and you appreciate the rhythm of the dialogue. it is the best written comedy show on the air. i can only hope for at least one more season.
I'm from deep Southwestern Ontario and I have friends and family in Michigan. Explaining the jokes in Letterkenny never gets old. I don't watch the show so I get sent clips and asked what things mean. The best parts are when they didn't catch a joke that I did and then I have to explain why I'm laughing so hard. Trying to explain Ontario's rivalry with Alberta or Québec is especially hilarious!
My wife and I have gone through this series about 4 times now on Hulu in the last 5 months, and we’re slowly but surely getting down the hockey language boys. Getting the verbiage in buddy. It really really helps to have the captions on for some of the fast talking. Plus, when Shoresy speaks, we can’t hear anything bc we’re laughing our balls off.
From Upstate NY here. My bandmates and I were using "pert near" 20 years ago. Also "yacht" instead of yeah. As in "That's a yacht!" (Affirmative) 😄 I miss those days
One side of my family has been born and raised in Tennessee for generations and the one that really gets me is "Gwon" as in "Gwon child, Gwon inner and gecha sum supper"
If "Slapshot" is the benchmark or Holy Grail of hockey/sports comedies then Letterkenny has raised the bar to a new standard. Any fan of hockey will relate and enjoy this series and the talented men and women who star in and produce it. Let's hope this show stays on the air indefinitely. Oddly enough I just watched The Gordie Howe story on DVD last week and guess who played Mark and Marty Howe? Would you believe the guys who portray Riley and Jonesy in Letterkenny? Obviously they have great acting chemistry and were a wise choice for this series. Every actor/actress were born to play these roles. Keep the laughs coming and you all deserve a big payday!
I loved this, especially "Pert Near" because I thought it was a southern thing (I'm American) but hearing that it's a regional thing for Canadians as well was really cool to find out.
Shoresy is my favorite show in a LONG time. Letterkenny is excellent, but shoresy is another level. The characters, the music, the writing, the plot... It's absolutely amazing.
A Texas-sized 10-4 is trucker slang for "I understand" or "I copy" like he says, but there's more to it. Most often, truckers will say "That's a big 10-4" meaning they absolutely understand. Texas is a big state, and the unofficial motto there is "Everything is bigger in Texas." So a Texas-sized 10-4 means a fuck-off huge 10-4.
My grandmother, pure central Pennsylvanian, used this phrase as well! And most of our family. And many in the older generations around here. Interesting!
Love letterkenny even though I’m a Londoner and had to guess at most of these. The language inventiveness is amazing in that show. Wish it would be easy to watch in Europe, we love Canadians over here! (Who doesn’t?)
My friends & I love Letterkenny!! For me personally, I grew up in the farming area of Michigan back in the 80s & so much of this show reminds me of home, i love it! Miss the North & Canadian neighbors
This was an *awesome* interview. Finally putting the time into Letterkenny and absolutely loving it. Couldn't have asked for more fun from the interviewer.
Why thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words! Tom and the producers worked extra hard on this interview to make something fun and insightful.
I notice a lot of people online complain that they can't understand the accent in the show, but somehow as an Alaskan it sounds totally normal to me. But the lingo is often lost on me unless in very specific context, so thank you very much for this video! Btw, the town I live in has about the same population.. Letterkenny reminds me of it sooooo much, we've even got the crackhead goths. Cracks me up so much.
yeah, the farm country culture through these areas don't have a border so much. Similar immigrant sources ( lots a German n' Dutch protestant) slang, lifestyles and outlooks. My Dutch/German in laws are farm stock, and use lots of these. Do you call a creek a crick and add 't' to some words like across and chef?
Minnesota here, y’know that state pert near Canada? We say it too. Iowegians* are just borrowing it. * lived in Des Moines 3 years, right behind the airport. So yeah, I can bag on ya.
ya ever notice.. after watching too much Letterkenny ya can't help but ramble n rhyme out random ridiculous nonsense? I swear that show's got such a draw. Real draw. Even had muh bud just see one episode n fore ya know he's talkin "Ya ever notice howw..." ..but to be fair~
Ha. My family used it hear in Oregon growing up. And I still use it. The funniest part to me is I knew all the slang terms😂 Canada no different then us🇺🇸🇨🇦🥳
"Pert near" has been said on the southern United States forever so rather than me saying that we started it I'm just gonna say that folks up there in what I'm guessing is a certain area of Canada and is southern folks have a lot in common. Lol I guess that's why I enjoy Letterkenny so much. Great shit.
I'm glad the interviewer said it - "This is the most Canadian thing." The guy's name is Danny f****** Bridger and of course you all know him, insofar as to know he's writing in Montreal. ♡
2 shows I can’t get enough of are Canadian....Letterkenny, and Trailer Park Boys. Both great shows, nice to see Jonathan torrens of TPB in a couple episodes of Letterkenny.
It's funny Jared said 'Pert Near' is a regional dialect to his area of Ontario. I grew up saying that in Oklahoma and it's a pretty common Southern thing to say.
Honestly all over mid to southern USA I imagine it’s used by almost everyone. Even on the west coast I hear people use it, as well as plum near or plum tired. It’s just not as common.
"Nappy is *short* for nap." Yous been smokin pot, haven't ya? Cuz that's exactly the type a thing someone who just smoked pot might say. Lmao. Love ya, Keeso!
Adrian Schmidt "Ferda" is short for "for the." So if you say "Ferda boys," it's "for the boys." It can also be used on its own to denote approval for an idea. "Let's go get a cold one after praccy." "Ferda, buddy."
Pert near is also part of rural Southern US slang. This is why I love the show - I can intuit a lot of what they’re saying from growing up in the rural South.

"pert near" is a colloquialism that is alive and well here in Southern Appalachia. Love Letterkenny!
Really? I'm from CA and the hockey lingo is pretty close to surf lingo.
@@JCM3x3 Heard this one a lot growing up in the Wv hills.
So THAT is how Jared Keeso looks like when he's not squinting.
It's kind of like Clark Kent with his glasses on...
I Googled "What is Jared Keeso" really like. Not disappointed at all!
Omg that is exactly what I was thinking
“Nice onsie does it come in men’s?” “Oh I think you come in men’s enough for all of us.”
I heard he doesn’t like French Stewart 😂
Canadian is such a beautiful language
His accent is so Canadian. Rural Ontariah boy. I'm from a place about two hours from him, but my accent is not nearly this strong.
The accent is a Canadian thing. The language is just southern hick farmer slang ya dingus
TheRockindio this is all Canadian slang. Southern USA is stealing it now
very eastern canadian. I'm born and raised BC so I'm still learning the lingo.
You guys talk as fast as they do on the show?
I love that some of the newfie slang that was mentioned here seemed unknown to Keeso, and it managed to make it into a later episode when the hockey team had to play the Newfies.
LOL, i just watched that clip, and it comes entirely from this interview. Did the guy get a writing credit as he demanded?
Knows, mikey, knows

I would love to see the Trailer Park Boys come up to the Produce Stand one day.
Rob Evans yes!
Rob Evans Ricky Julian and bubs need there help and when a man asks for help, you help him. Corey and Trevor would have their birds up for katy. Would be hilarious.
Yes! A crossover! This needs to happen.
Fubar
Or, in keeping with the interview, any member of "22 Minutes"!
The best part is when he says he has a buddy Danny Bridger and the host knows him. Small town Canadian AF.
Ryan Chambers that's how we do!!
That has to be my favourite as well. This happened to my dad when we moved to Calgary (originally from Regina). He would be doing business with someone and say, "oh hey I recognize your last name, do you happen to be so-in-so's relative." He seemed to know everyone from small town Saskatchewan.
yeah, West Michigan is 'bout the same. They say you can connect anyone on the planet in 7 steps. It's at most 3 for West Michigan Dutch! We call it playing Dutch Bingo
Newfie thing too, I was talkin' about the town outside St. Johns were my dad grew up to a waitress, turns out she did too, recognised our family name
Isaiah Hekhuis hahahah right! I just played a game of seven degrees of West Michigan today
As American, I'd say these Canadian guys are as fun as hell...
Like the cool cousin you didn't even know you had until you got drunk with him at Thanksgiving.

The best slang is “spare parts”.
That is not slang, it is an insult.

Literally had to get up to speed the first season. I'm not sure if they purposely slowed the dialog for season 2 or if I just caught on.
It's awesome to see how much Jared appreciates learning new local dialect. He even went onto incorporate a lot of Newfie slang mentioned here in the later seasons against the Newfie team, like "knows" and "all hands".
As someone from Ireland (actually from a town called Letterkenny in Donegal also) hearing someone use 'Donnybrook' at the other side of the world is fascinating.

Robert Drinkwine this is so true especially being a small town Canadian that plays hockey
Amen to that. Great show with a great cast
Riley and jonesy don't even act they just banter back and forth saying the same thing in different words for each scene. It's quite annoying actually.
I loved this, especially "Pert Near" because I thought it was a southern thing (I'm American) but hearing that it's a regional thing for Canadians as well was really cool to find out.

We say ‘pert near’ here in the Pacific Northwest, too.
Like you barely missed the ditch “Pretty near, put it in.” but said more like two words “pertnear putinin.” Completely contracted.

And we LOVE Londoners over here! Is there any London slang that you would share with Jared?
@@QwithTomPower good luck understanding a word of it
You had me confused for a minute, London, Ontario is about 45 minutes away from Listowel. I didn't clue in that you meant London, UK.
My friends & I love Letterkenny!! For me personally, I grew up in the farming area of Michigan back in the 80s & so much of this show reminds me of home, i love it! Miss the North & Canadian neighbors
I’m 60 and was brought up in Texas. Learned the game here and love the shows. I’ve been using pert near for decades.
I think "pert near" may be more common than some may realize. I'm on the southern shore of Lake Ontario and I've used it.
We say it in many rural parts of the states as well...
Used over here in Kansas
I think this just country boy slang boys. Don't matter what country were from haha.
I've been from BC to Alberta and from northern Kentucky to rural Kansas and have never heard it used.
DonQuixote109 I am in Louisiana... extreme southern US and I hear it used here frequently.
This was an *awesome* interview. Finally putting the time into Letterkenny and absolutely loving it. Couldn't have asked for more fun from the interviewer.
Why thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words! Tom and the producers worked extra hard on this interview to make something fun and insightful.
I notice a lot of people online complain that they can't understand the accent in the show, but somehow as an Alaskan it sounds totally normal to me. But the lingo is often lost on me unless in very specific context, so thank you very much for this video!
Btw, the town I live in has about the same population.. Letterkenny reminds me of it sooooo much, we've even got the crackhead goths. Cracks me up so much.
It’s so amazing Jared put a lot of the newfie slang into the show after that
Jared is awesome, much success to him and his cast, that is what I appreciates about him.
I grew up in Southern Illinois and we say pertinear all the time.
Must be secretly Canadian lol
no canadians are the ones americanized from cloths to slang to accent the show is more like western american stiyle
Jeff Williams My husband grew up in Montana and he and his family all say it too :-D
Jeff Williams I say pert near here in Missouri too
yeah, the farm country culture through these areas don't have a border so much. Similar immigrant sources ( lots a German n' Dutch protestant) slang, lifestyles and outlooks. My Dutch/German in laws are farm stock, and use lots of these. Do you call a creek a crick and add 't' to some words like across and chef?
I grew up with the Keeso’s, real happy to see Jared doing his thing! Keep up the good work bro!!
Growing up in rural Virginia, "pert near" was pretty common.
Georgia too, heard it all my life
"Pert near" is a term used in my region of Iowa as well.
Im from ohio and have used it my whe life lmao
Minnesota here, y’know that state pert near Canada? We say it too. Iowegians* are just borrowing it.
* lived in Des Moines 3 years, right behind the airport. So yeah, I can bag on ya.
Yeah, Canadians say that now because of American television. Seriously, that's where we got it from.
What you are seeing here is the evolution of the language being discussed, and I love it.
I've been hearing "One Hundo P" in Alberta
rtql8d we have said that in Maine for so long hahaha
Where I'm from, a hundo is a hundred dollars, e.g. a "crisp hundo" is a fresh hundred dollar bill
@@littlesnowflakepunk855 you don't say..
Living in Maine most of these terms are used and I love it. Especially up in the northern end
Caribou here!
I’m from Windsor/Palermo. Small world!
I’ve heard pitter patter here and there
Some of these are common in Australia too: "Sook", Sandos", Praccy"
I have watched this video a 100 times. Every time I see it I’ll watch it. Keeso fan for life.
As a fan of Letterkenny, this is great. As the Brooklyn-bred son of a Newf, I loves it.
pert near used in southern USA, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee... means "almost" pert near killed someone
ya ever notice.. after watching too much Letterkenny ya can't help but ramble n rhyme out random ridiculous nonsense? I swear that show's got such a draw. Real draw. Even had muh bud just see one episode n fore ya know he's talkin "Ya ever notice howw..."
..but to be fair~
Electronic Wave TV glad it's not just me 😂😂
@@Blessed2bFresh Ha! Just a testament to how awesome the show is. =D
To be faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir
@@ironfox4304 to be faaaaaaair~
Letterkenny quotes are now embedded in our everyday conversations lol
We use “Pert Near” in Lewis County, Kentucky where I’m from. My area was a heavily Irish based settlement area.
Ha. My family used it hear in Oregon growing up. And I still use it. The funniest part to me is I knew all the slang terms😂 Canada no different then us🇺🇸🇨🇦🥳
I just learned about Letterkenny two weeks ago its the best series in decades
"Tilt is a fight that got shortened to Tilly"... "Nappy is short for nap" lolol something doesn't add up
It's the hard sound at the end of the words. It's easier and lazier to end with ee. Get me?
"Pert near" has been said on the southern United States forever so rather than me saying that we started it I'm just gonna say that folks up there in what I'm guessing is a certain area of Canada and is southern folks have a lot in common. Lol I guess that's why I enjoy Letterkenny so much. Great shit.
Not much difference you and I
I’m from Georgia and I have never heard pert near in my life 😂😂
I'm from northern (more rural) California and I heard it around while I was growing up
I live 15 minutes outside of listowel, in dorking. And all of this is spot on
I'm glad the interviewer said it - "This is the most Canadian thing." The guy's name is Danny f****** Bridger and of course you all know him, insofar as to know he's writing in Montreal. ♡
Lotta terms suggested by the host were used in the show, as my introduction. Appreciate Keeso very much, Shoresy is incredible.
Probably my favorite letterkenny saying is " hard no"! Or " gasp, Bonnie McMurray "!!
2 shows I can’t get enough of are Canadian....Letterkenny, and Trailer Park Boys. Both great shows, nice to see Jonathan torrens of TPB in a couple episodes of Letterkenny.
It's funny Jared said 'Pert Near' is a regional dialect to his area of Ontario. I grew up saying that in Oklahoma and it's a pretty common Southern thing to say.
Oklahoma gang
Honestly all over mid to southern USA I imagine it’s used by almost everyone. Even on the west coast I hear people use it, as well as plum near or plum tired. It’s just not as common.
So weird to hear him speak whole sentences. Love Letterkenny! We've been binging for about a week!
Seeing Wayne laugh and having a smile on his face is scarring me
Best slang was at the end when he said "hey, No Sweat thank you for having me eh"
"Nappy is *short* for nap." Yous been smokin pot, haven't ya? Cuz that's exactly the type a thing someone who just smoked pot might say. Lmao. Love ya, Keeso!
I like how Newfoundland slang incorporates sailing terms. That'd be my slang of choice.
that truely is the most Canadian interview ever, and the outro seals it 😂😂
"Pert near" is VERY common in the American South where I'm from.
I love how Wayne talks, it's amazing, so Irish😍 and Canadian😍
"Purt near" is pure Appalachian hillbilly.
Robert Engler i was just about to say this!! 😂
Yes sir. "Plum near" is another we'ens use. "Pert near" is just a lil bit closer.
I’ve heard Pert Near all my life in Texas/Oklahoma. It’s just a southern thing.
I always heard it "pert night" or possibly "pert nigh it".
Yeah, it’s not just Ontario. I grew up in Alaska and often heard “purt near.”
Australians would get the brevity and hyper-slang of Letterkenny.
TheTTBT ken oath we do
TheTTBT I say us aussies do, yup
I have yet to work out what ferda means in this show.
Adrian Schmidt "Ferda" is short for "for the." So if you say "Ferda boys," it's "for the boys." It can also be used on its own to denote approval for an idea. "Let's go get a cold one after praccy." "Ferda, buddy."
I was really surprised how similar Aussie and Canadian humour is
We say pert near here in Michigan as well. loving the show!
Same northern Wisco
Michigan we damn sure do.. lol.
The fact they actually knew the same person is soo Canadian.. I love it!
Pert near is also part of rural Southern US slang. This is why I love the show - I can intuit a lot of what they’re saying from growing up in the rural South.
