\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Want to speak like a real Canadian, eh? From Tim Hortons runs to two-fours at the cottage, Canadian slang is as diverse as our country itself. While we may sound similar to our American neighbors, trust us\u2014we\u2019ve got our own weird, wonderful, and wildly confusing phrases.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re ordering a double-double<\/strong>, dodging a rink rat<\/strong>, or kicking back in a Muskoka chair<\/strong>, we\u2019ve got you covered with this ultimate guide to Canadian slang words and phrases<\/strong>. So, before you throw a Chesterfield kerfuffle<\/strong>, let\u2019s dive in, eh?<\/p>\n

Canadian Slang \u2013 How To Speak Canadian<\/h2>\n

Most people think Canadians speak a lot like our American neighbours, but the truth is, we\u2019re a little weird up here in the Great White North. Plus, Canadians can pick out a Canadian accent anytime so don\u2019t think that sewing a Canadian flag on your backpack suddenly turns you into a Canuck. <\/p>\n

1. Canuck<\/h3>\n
\n
\"Dave\"Dave<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The word Canuck is one of my favourites. This term referes to Canadians. We have the Vancouver Canucks, one of Canada\u2019s most beloved hockey teams, and in the 1980s, our downhill skiers who dominated the World Cup circuit were called the Crazy Canucks, and I am personally a proud Canuck. If you haven\u2019t figured it out yet, Canuck is another term for a Canadian. It\u2019s so much simpler and shorter. I\u2019m a Canuck man!<\/p>\n

2. Eh<\/h3>\n

This is our most popular Canadian<\/a> saying\u00a0and everyone mocks us by using \u201ceh\u201d in the most ridiculous phrases and they never get it right. So I am going to give you a quick lesson on how to the word \u201ceh\u201d.
All you have to do is make a statement like \u201cIt is a very nice day out today.\u201d If you add \u201ceh\u201d to the end of that statement, you can turn it into a question that will require a friendly reply from the person you are talking to.<\/p>\n

3. Loonie and Toonie<\/h3>\n
\n
\"canadian\"canadian<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Our one-dollar coin<\/strong> is called a \u201cLoonie\u201d (thanks to the loon on it). Naturally, when the two-dollar coin<\/strong> came out, we named it a \u201cToonie\u201d because it rhymes with Loonie. Logical, right?<\/p>\n

4. Tuque<\/h3>\n

A knit winter hat<\/strong>, known elsewhere around the world as a beanie. Every Canadian owns at least one. I went my entire childhood and a large portion of my adult life not realizing that this was a word only used in Canada. \u201cTuque\u201d as it is spelled in Quebec<\/strong> (it is spelled toque in English Canada)<\/em> is a unique Canadian slang word used across the country to describe a winter hat. Buy your own Canadian tuque on Amazon.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Hoser<\/h3>\n

Speaking of Bob and Doug Mackenzie, it was these two lovable Hosers that brought the term Hoser to the mainstream in Canada. Hoser is an old-school insult made famous by Bob and Doug McKenzie<\/strong>, meaning an idiot or loser. Example:
\u201cTake off, ya hoser<\/strong>!\u201d<\/p>\n

6. Regular \/ Double-Double<\/h3>\n

At Tim Hortons, a \u201cregular\u201d coffee comes with one cream and one sugar. A \u201cdouble-double\u201d? Two creams, two sugars. Sweet enough to make a beaver blush.<\/p>\n

7. Rink Rat<\/h3>\n

Someone who practically lives at the hockey rink<\/strong>, whether they\u2019re a player, skater, or just a superfan. I was a rink rat, people were always saying \u201cShe\u2019s a real rink rat, always practicing her skating.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. Two-Four<\/h3>\n

A case of 24 beers. \u201cPick up a two-four for the party.\u201d We buy our beer <\/a>at the Beer Store in Canada and a box of 24 beers is simply shortened to the words \u201ctwo four.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. Molson Muscle<\/h3>\n

A beer belly. \u201cHe\u2019s been working on his Molson muscle all winter.\u201d Well, older Canadians anyway. Most of the GenZ drink craft beer, and wouldn\u2019t touch Molson.<\/p>\n

10. Hydro<\/h3>\n

Canadians don\u2019t pay an \u201celectric bill.\u201d We pay for hydro<\/strong>, even in places where our power isn\u2019t hydroelectric. <\/p>\n

11. Knapsack<\/h3>\n

Our word for backpack<\/strong> or rucksack<\/strong>, especially among grade school students.<\/p>\n

12. Washroom<\/h3>\n

Forget \u201crestroom\u201d or \u201cbathroom.\u201d In Canada, it\u2019s always the washroom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

13. Chocolate Bar<\/h3>\n

What the rest of the world calls a candy bar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

14. Chinook<\/h3>\n

A warm winter wind<\/strong> that can melt Alberta\u2019s snow in hours. Being born in Alberta, Canada, my parents often talked about Chinooks blowing in from the mountains, bringing warmer weather from British Columbia, and how nice it was.<\/p>\n

15. Out and About Not Oot and Aboot<\/h3>\n

We don\u2019t say \u201coot and aboot.\u201d It\u2019s closer to \u201ca-boat.\u201d Trust us. If you really want to delve into the reasoning for the difference. Check out Grammar Girl. She explains the diphthong differences eloquently here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

16. Zed<\/h3>\n

Canadians say \u201cZed\u201d instead of \u201cZee\u201d for the letter Z<\/strong>\u2014except when referring to ZZ Top<\/strong>. I used to drive a Zed 28 car. Americans call it Zee28, and that\u2019s just weird. <\/p>\n

17. May 2 \u2013 4 Weekend<\/h3>\n
\n
\"canadian\"canadian<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Victoria Day weekend, often celebrated by drinking a case of 24 beers. \u201cWe\u2019re heading to the cottage for May Two-Four.\u201d<\/p>\n

18. Poutine<\/h3>\n

Canada\u2019s national dish<\/strong>\u2014fries, cheese curds, and gravy<\/strong>. \u201cLet\u2019s grab some poutine after the bar.\u201d Best enjoyed at 3 AM. Read more about Canadian foods such as the Beaver Tail and Nanaimo Bar at our post: Top Must-Try Canadian Foods for Foodies and Travelers<\/a><\/p>\n

19. Bunny Hug<\/h3>\n

Saskatchewan\u2019s unique term for a hoodie<\/strong> (yes, really). \u201cIt\u2019s chilly; grab your bunny hug.\u201d<\/p>\n

20. Stag and Stagette or Stag and Doe<\/h3>\n

Our version of bachelor and bachelorette parties<\/strong>. A pre-wedding party to raise funds for the couple. \u201cThey\u2019re hosting a stag and doe next month.\u201d<\/p>\n

21. Bachelor Apartment<\/h3>\n

And speaking of the term bachelor we call a studio apartment<\/strong> or a small apartment without a separate bedroom a bachelor apartment with an open living and sleeping space. \u201cI found a cozy bachelor downtown.\u201d<\/p>\n

22. Kerfuffle<\/h3>\n

A commotion or fuss. \u201cThere was a real kerfuffle at the rink last night.\u201d<\/p>\n

23. Newfie<\/h3>\n
\n
\"someone\"someone<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

A Newfie is a slang word to describe a person from the Canadian province of Newfoundland. People from Newfoundland often refer to themselves as Newfies, and many Canadians call people from Newfoundland Newfies. It is an endearing term of love and respect. However, we usually stick with Newfoundlanders. Note: When it comes to pronouncing Newfound land, do not over pronounce the \u201cFound.\u201d Instead, make it sound more like \u201cNewfanland\u201d. That\u2019s more Canadian.<\/p>\n

Canadians don\u2019t wear sneakers\u2014we wear run<\/strong><\/p>\n
