I'm from Newfoundland. 'nuff said, really.

We have a language all our own.

But, aside from Newf, my friends and I have a TON of sayings and lingo. I won't go into detail here because it's too much to explain. A few examples, then:

1. "Buckled/Cooked/Tore" = to beat yourself up by accident

Example: "I buckled my knee playing hockey." or "Man, I fell off my bike and cooked myself."

2. "Go pack sand up yer ass!" = Variant of "Go fuck yourself"

3. "Ginge" = slut/tramp/whore

4. "maj" = Shortened form of "imagine" as in "I imagine so".

Example:
Friend #1: "Are you gonna watch the heritage Classic Hockey Game?"
Friend #2: "maj"

One other thing we do for a laugh is drop the last syllable on multisyllabic words. It's addictive and funny if you actually keep doing it. One of my friends I met in university introduced me to this...he and his friends had been talking like that for years.

For example, "Education" would sound like "Ed-u-kay-sh".

Confused? Good.
