Further explanations to Gumboot Cloggeroo, for non-Canadians, which I should have put with the original post:

Fish and brewis -- an Eastern Canadian dish, mostly eaten in Newfoundland.

Bluenoser -- Nova Scotian

Herring-choker -- New Brunswicker

Newfie Screech -- a kind of foul black Newfoundland rum, so named by American servicemen stationed there during WWII.

Qua-hog (pronounced KO-hog)-- a kind of thick-shelled harbour clam, with the texture of a radial tire and fit only for stews that have been long a-stewing, or feeding tough-jawed cats.

Tracadie -- an Acadian town in New Brunswick.

Stompin' Tom -- a Canadian legend.
