  • Ok so i forgot to add that I'm a self-professed word/term coiner, so i totally made that up the "final-hanging-or".....but it's totally legit 'cause language is "metamorphical" anyways. =)

  • Eh...works for me :P

  • You know, I'm not sure if that specific "or" is Canadian... but i can provide you with a proper term for it : the "final-hanging-or". You know 'cause it's sentence final and just kinda hangs here....it can also be "welcoming-answer-or"....but I like the first one better.

  • Thanks! I learn something new everyday!

  • LOL 0:28 was like a fargo accent hahaha

  • "What's that, eh? it's a five legged goose."

    That was so hilariously non-chalant is made me burst out laughing. ^^

  • im canadian and i was taught zeenot zed. and everyone in my class answered zee not zed and our teacher corrected us

  • I'm from New Zealand and never realised that we had so many words that we pronounce with the same vowel sounds as Canada=o You pronounce "example" more like us and without the"a" as in apple vowel sound. We also use zed as oppossed to z. Americans say that you say"aboot" but sounds more like"a boat" to me.

  • i'm a c'nadian and i do speak like that i slang th'words like yousay i'm kinda trying to wright it out and itsnot that bad i mean we do speak like that and we're proud of it eh? XD
