Greg,
Have a butter tart while you're here. Oh, and some ketchup chips (crisps, to you). According to a TV program last week on "Talking Canadian", those are very Canadian snack foods that only we eat.

Other terms Canadians have: eavestrough, couch (sofa, replaced the term "chesterfield" sometime in the late 50s), in Thunder Bay only a stag & doe is called a "shag", a two-four is a case of beer, a "molson muscle" is a beer gut...

But we still need a word for those big brown chunks of ice in the middle of the road that have fallen off our cars.
