After a break rather longer than 1 week, I have again resumed my informational service of Canadian terms!
The following are the words I introduced while on the trails in California:
Canadian Tire Store = where you go when your shopping list includes drain cleaner, a tent, air freshener, gum and new cutlery...and brake pads
facewash = getting one's face cleaned with scratchy snow, in an involuntary way (did a demo, in fact!)
Overwaitea = a grocery store proud to give more tea than you paid for (the 'Mericans suggested it might be better marketing to call it Super-Skinny Food Store or some such thing...)
Caesar = cocktail similar to a Bloody Mary, but made with tomato-clam cocktail. (They thought it sounded really disgusting...)
loonie = one dollar coin (not to be confused with the teacher of the Canuck lingo)
And remember gentlemen, if the ladies don't find you handsome, they better find you handy!
