I've been living in Canada for almost 3 years now (NB and now ON), and the only slang words I've never heard are "hang a Larry" or "hang a Roger," maybe because I haven't owned a car until now. The rest of them are like everyday conversation. Thanks and good luck with this channel! ✌from Ottawa
Awesome! In Canada, at least in my experience, popsicles are the ones that have the little sticks in them. Freezies are in long, clear bags. Love learning these differences! Thanks for commenting 🤩
@englishforcanada You're welcome. I just came back from Langley, BC 2 weeks ago. I didn't realize gas in Canada are in litre, but in America, our gas is in gallon. In America, l can fill my Jeep up for $60.00 but in Canada, it costs me $198.74 to fill up.
@englishforcanada Hahaha. Yes, it took me by surprise. l love the food and the experience was amazing. Everyone was so nice and friendly. I'm from Texas, so we are one of the states that are friendly to people, but l will be back again just for the food and kindness of the people.
My ex spoke like a Newfie many times "me mum" "eh" while I grew away into a professional white collar business man. I think of her with good feelings even after 40 years
As a senior Canadian I don't know many of these terms from living in Windsor next to Detroit. In the late 1960s travelling to east coast I couldn't understand the Newfounders.
Never heard "hang a Larry" or "hang a Roger" spoken anywhere in BC that I've been to. Is that regional or generational? Also, I've only known a Two-Four as referring to 24 beer. While a Mickey is a 13oz bottle of spirits, a regular bottle of spirits is 26oz, i.e. a 26er.

Thanks for the comment and the support!! Much appreciated!
@@englishforcanada 24 is beer. Never hard stuff. A 40 pounder is a 40 oz hard liqueur.
Hello from America👋 We called Freezy popsicles or sometime icepop, but mostly Popsicles. In the north people say pop, but in the south we say soad.

The USA have regional variations for freezer pops. I grew up with Otter Pops in the West. There's Fla-vor-ice in the East.
Very entertaining - a great way of learning. Loved it
I love how Canadians say, O' HEY BUDD...

Sounds like you’re on Team Marc 😊
I’m in BC (Vancouver Island )some of us say hang a Larry/Roger. I agree about the two four, only beer as far as I know.
We called freezy Popsicles
Cool! Good to know! 😊 We called popsicles the ones that have the stick in them. Thanks for commenting ❤

Wacko slang !
Do Canadians have a sense of humor??
