Happy Canada Day!!!
*Eh? or Eh. - Means I am asking if you agree or I'm just making a statement in general. You have to admit, it does sound more intelligent than the standard American "Huh?".
*Toque- This is simply a knitted hat, like a stocking cap. Don't ask me why it's called that, but I say it anyway.
*Washroom- When I ask where this is I don't want to use your washer & dryer just your nearest toilet.
*Sorry (pronounced "sore-y") - All I have to say about this one is that I'm really sawree.
*Girlfriend- When I talk about "my girlfriend" I mean just that- a girl that is a friend. Remember, I am happily married to a man.
*"I'll phone you."- When I use this or a phrase similar to this, I am simply stating that I will call you on the phone at a later time. It does not in any way mean that I would use the phone as some type of weapon to hit, bludgeon, or in any way cause you bodily harm. Just in case you were wondering.
There you have it.
Okay, you Hoser, take off now eh?

LOL! Thanks for that last line! I love hearing the Canadian words that have become part of your normal vocabulary.
Okay? So? It seems that I already speak some Canook? Because, eh? I knew that about the phone, eh? Yeah. But Loonie - I wish the US had that one.
