S/O Canadianism: Are you familiar with any of these terms?

[dapotato]

none of the above.

my favorites:
toque
ghetto blaster
cooter (used by canadian cw, deadpan, while telling a story about a massage she got during an office lunch)

canadians make up 20% of our office.

not that you asked any of the above.

[LeggsBenedict]

Does "cooter" mean something other than vagina in Canada?

Interesting. My H will be happy with these results...

Until I read that tumblr, I always thought toque was pronounced like toke. Mind blown.

it is for 'mericans:
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/toque

and closer to toke than took in french, too.

plus it's a fucking chef's hat, NOT a beanie/skull cap/knit cap.

[lilybug]

I've never heard of those three. Hassock seemed vaguely familiar, like I'd read it in a book or something, but when I googled it I definitely had no idea it was like an ottoman. I was thinking an item of clothing. Huh.

I'm from Texas, ftr.

[ErinExpat]

My dad says hassock and he is from MA. I use ottoman.

[bluelily]

Does anyone know what a bunnyhug is? It's a Saskatchewan regionalism.

[jacquie]

I know the term hassock as it relates to a swampy area, not a piece of furniture. Like, a patch of high ground/grassy area in a swamp is what I'd call a hassock.

I've never heard of those, although my area is more redneck than Canaduan eh.

[Deleted]

I am Canadian eh, and I have never heard of a hassock, a dirt trail or a cooter beats the hell out of me. toque is like ski hat a lot of the time with a tassel on top.

A hassock to me sounds like a fish.   yes  i  know  it is  haddock

Just like Stag and Does. really common here, but noone outside of Ontario has heard of them.

I guess even our provinces have weirdio slang words! Many things  I have  never  heard about. 
(pardon the spacing, and sometimes run on words, my spacebar has a mind of its own lately.

[awick14]

Never heard of the ones in the OP.

I have heard of toque, hoodie, stag, doe, and poutine of course.

I'm from British Columbia.

My area has a lot of buck and does. Everyone has one, unless you are basically a hermit. I remember explaining it ages ago in TN and got flamed for it. It was kind of hilarious. My buck and doe was one if the best parts about getting married!!

They are so much fun! It's not unheard of to make $10000 to $15,000 a night depending in your family's standing in the community and size. I think we made $5000 on ours. It was an awesome drunk fest of a party!
