Toboggan and pop are the only two I use, and I like the words street meat and Newfie. That was fun!
I use a lot of those terms so I guess I must be a born and bred Canadian.
So tool and pop are the same as in the UK, lol
As a (western) Canadian, all were familiar to me except peameal. Sounds awful.
I am not Canadian. Interesting list.
Some of those words are very dated or regional. I came as a seven year old and just turned 66. I made it through school, university, and a worklife without ever hearing some of them. "Street meat" never heard of it before this list.
Being in the UK I didn't take the test ... but interesting to see what the words meant.
All the best Jan
I read them all, but I can tell you honestly, they are not part of my deep south vernacular
I use or have used 26. Never called a cigarette a dart and don't know anyone who did.
God bless.
