15 Canadian Slang Words You Must Know With 2 Canadian English Teachers

[@octatana]

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

@@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.

[@englishforcanada]

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.

@@LIUFintess Yes, BC is also particularly very expensive!! Welcome! haha :D

[@LIUFintess]

@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.

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.

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.

Cool! Good to know! 😊 We called popsicles the ones that have the stick in them. Thanks for commenting ❤

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.

[@englishforcanada]

Sounds like you’re on Team Marc 😊

[@Canadiancolours]

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.
