I officially grant you honorary Canadian status ! You may now start saying eh at the end of phrases; except when listing option A, as that tends to confuse engineers like svart and small but fine, eh !  |

I got 18 out of 20, but some of them were wild guesses. I'm Canadian, and I never heard "given'er" or "hack a dart", I think these might be regional slang. For beer, I hear "brewskie" and "suds" about equally. I've never heard "parkade", but then I never shop at the Bay.
I have never heard "eh" being used in an actual conversation. I've only heard it used by comedians, but maybe it's used in some regions of Canada? Does anybody know if it's actually used anywhere, or where it originated? Eh?

My grandmother was Canadian and she said eh all the time. |
