We just watching the parade in Sidney. All white faces though, no indians.

 

[Raj]

Take off, eh.

 

[RegC]

I don't follow ?

 

[BOTS]

Great pic of you and daughter Reg

 

[RegC]

Thanks. Shes part Indian actually, I forgot.

 

[BOTS]

Take off, eh.

I think that was a line in an 80's movie, just cant place the name of it....

 

[BOTS]

hmmm, was it the movie "strange Brew??? I thinking so...

 

[Raj]

It was a regular skit on SCTV, then a movie.

Also 100 years ago opening battle of the Somme. In Brantford we have a fun park named after the butcher of the Somme.

I'm still missing something.....perhaps through because I'm an migrant. It doesn't matter.

Canada Day! Gone in a flash.

Take off hoser? What does that mean ? Cleary Im not Canadian You mean I should take something off or go somewhere else ? I don't get where either suggestion (if that's what they are) is relative to my first post.

It's a Canuck thang...

 

[FireFighterZero]

None of them were. I believe they were general Canadian comments pertaining to the spirit of Canada Day!

From what I know about Canadians, which I learned from watching movies, this is how they talk to each other all the time.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Either that or both Reg and Justin are taking the piss!

 

[RegC]

I'd rather people just make their point clear.

 

[Burnham]

Good luck with that one, Reg .

 

[stig]

Want us to stop derails, too

 

[squisher]

Take off eh, yah hoser. Would be kind of like saying 'get out of here man' when someone tells you something. Again though you're not really asking them to leave.

And no we don't talk like that.......much.

Reg. you really need to watch a movie called 'strange brew' if you want to fully understand Canadian culture. Of course you'd be watching it a couple of decades late but still. It'd be proper to view it if you're going to call Canada home.

Funny to me that an Englishman would complain about Canadian slang being 'vague'. Lol.

 

[Raj]

NY translation would be "ferget'bout it".

Group hug in order. Great pic, Reg. Your daughter is a clear "chip off the old block" She has your hair and smile.......only hers is a bit bigger....

I'm told, however, that she gets her personality from someone else.....................

Hope I'm still welcome......
