[@valeriecraig9178]

Farrakhan Wolcott so in Canada we have these candies that are shaped like gold coins, have gold foil wrappers and are chocolate on the inside (they might not just be a Canadian thing, I don't know). The joke is that when the loonies were introduced in Canada newfies were so dumb they thought that they were chocolate treats so they were all breaking their teeth trying to eat them. Newfies are people who live in Newfoundland, and are stereotypical hosers.

The Gong Show was a crazy American talent show in the 1970s. It featured a mix of real talent and absurd crappy acts. When the act was really bad the judges could strike the huge gong with a large mallet and that would dismiss the act. It was at times ridiculous which is why you might say a party or event is a gong show (i.e. ridiculously crazy). Although it was broadcast in the states many Canadians received American TV signals and created the term. Unfortunately Americans do not use the term, I gather.

It’s “gong show”and “give’r” and who knows where something actually started but it’s certainly widely used and widely understood here. Also, those slang words really require an accent like Canadian to make it sound right. An American with their either non-accent (sounds like a news anchor) or their southern accent just wouldn’t be able to pronounce those words with the amount of exaggerated sarcasm which is classic Canadian.

[@CheerLovaa]

this is hilarious, he nailed it. every single one is so Canadian and he actually knew the meanings.

lol. Yeah it's actually "hostie" and they say " 'ostie" and then some (many) slangify it even further by saying " 'estie' " but the "t" is pronounced like "ts" and it can sound like a "d" to others. Incidentally, "hostie" means "host" as in the sacramental bread. Much of the swearing in Qc revolves around the church, so "tabarnac" is the tabernacle, "calice" is the chalice and so on and so forth. And because the church is sacred this is why it is considered to be bad. Just saying.
