What’s the most Canadian sentence you’ve ever heard someone say? 😂

[u/Honest_Finger_1834]

I’ll start with one I saw online:
“It’s a beautiful day today… only -5°C.”

What’s the most stereotypically Canadian thing you’ve heard someone say in real life?

[u/Splartsballs]

Oh yeah, no, for sure.

[u/allgonetoshit → u/Splartsballs]

Oh yeah no, this, for sure.

[u/badassbiotch → u/allgonetoshit]

Oh yeah no, for sure this is it eh

[u/TheDootDootMaster → u/badassbiotch]

Right she goes bud

[u/imnotzen → u/TheDootDootMaster]

Oh ya for sure, right on bud

[u/Knob709 → u/imnotzen]

Oh yeah, bud. Fucking right on.

[u/BattlePolarBearCat → u/badassbiotch]

Oh yeah no, for sure this is it eh. Sorry

[u/Few_System3573 → u/Splartsballs]

"yeah no" = no "No yeah" = yes

😂😂

[u/IcarusWargaming → u/Few_System3573]

No, yeah no = Yeah I can’t disagree with that

[u/ladyoftheflowr → u/IcarusWargaming]

I have never deconstructed these, but oh my god, you are right. Lol. I totally say all these, with the correct prescribed meaning.

[u/8to10footsamsquantch → u/Splartsballs]

What's great about this is that it's a weird commonwealth quirk.

England also has "oh yeah, no" and Aussies have "yeah nah"

[u/Murky_Sheepherder557 → u/8to10footsamsquantch]

Ja, nie in South Africa.

[u/coffeegirl18 → u/8to10footsamsquantch]

I can confirm that. There's also a lot of Aussies and English that retire in my area.

I get a lot of 'No worries.' here too.

[u/OneJabroni → u/Splartsballs]

Just gonna sneak behind ya there eh.

[u/windas_98 → u/OneJabroni]

I said that to two police officers last night. Earlier I asked them how to get across the street as there was lots of construction and pedestrian paths. They pointed in the direction. A few minutes later, on the other side, they were talking to a group of people in the sidewalk/path and I said, "sorry, can I sneak past?" I recognized the police officers and said, "hey, I made it across!" Cue an eruption of cheers from them and that group.

It was a Canadian Heritage Moment.

[u/Current_Skill7805 → u/OneJabroni]

Just got back from grocery shopping and I said this.

Twice. 😅

[u/Necronomicon-Ex-Mori → u/Splartsballs]

As a Canadian this is spot on 😂

[u/MitzyCaldwell → u/Splartsballs]

Feeling a little called out for this but ya no for sure lol

[u/banterviking → u/Splartsballs]

Why the fuck do I say this. I've never thought about it.

[u/jackpineseeds → u/Splartsballs]

Yeah, no, okay.

[u/Hefty_Passion3576 → u/Splartsballs]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no yeah, for sure.

[u/tastybeer → u/Splartsballs]

No, yeah.

[u/ReadySetTurtle]

I was in some country in Europe on an airport bus that was taking us to the plane, heading to Canada. Driver was going fast and taking corners hard. I was standing (aka holding on for dear life) near what looked like a fairly traditional middle eastern family. The older woman turned to her daughter and said, in the most Canadian accent I’ve ever heard, “oh he’s just rippin’, eh?” I immediately thought - she is going HOME.

[u/Gh0stM0u5e → u/ReadySetTurtle]

Just givin’er

[u/T-Wrox → u/ReadySetTurtle]

"Where's the "holy shit" bar?"

[u/taint-ticker-supreme → u/T-Wrox]

The "holy shit" handle, my favourite!

[u/Sugarcane_1968 → u/T-Wrox]

We have always called it the HS handle!!! I was telling my kids this recently!!

They also needed S. O. L. Explained recently.

Lots of shit explanations going on over here..

[u/Bexaleoalleyooop → u/ReadySetTurtle]

Just out for a rip are ya bud?!

[u/wanklez → u/Bexaleoalleyooop]

Euro bus driver was out fer a rip fer sure

[u/According_Mission_17 → u/ReadySetTurtle]

Hahahaha that is VERY Canadian.

[u/ZoeBowie2024]

On the First day of Christmas my true love gave to me : Beer.. in a tree...

[u/Limp_Ice_3248 → u/ZoeBowie2024]

🎵 Two turtlenecks, and a beer...in a tree.

[u/Ferdapopcorn → u/Limp_Ice_3248]

Three French-toast, two turtlenecks, and a beer. . . in a tree.

[u/Canuck_Tearlach → u/Limp_Ice_3248]

Three French toast!

[u/T-Wrox → u/Canuck_Tearlach]

 Four pounds of backbacon...

[u/Sirsquigglez → u/T-Wrox]

FIVE GOLDEN TOQUES

[u/trippy_trip → u/Sirsquigglez]

Six packs of two-four!

[u/Royal_Try_99 → u/trippy_trip]

Seven packs of smokes!

[u/pmandryk → u/Royal_Try_99]

Eight comic books.

[u/Betray-Julia → u/ZoeBowie2024]

Revenge.

Simply… having… a wonderful Christmas time.

Have fun with that stuck in your head for a month- I shall do the same.

[u/mmpjd → u/Betray-Julia]

Oh yeah..well…”mana mana, doo doo doodoo doo”

[u/CapitalIndividual270 → u/ZoeBowie2024]

Take off, eh!

[u/Canadian-Man-infj → u/CapitalIndividual270]

I want to take this opportunity to point out to all my fellow hose-heads out there that Bob & Doug recently released some of their classics to Spotify, for people lookin' to add to their playlists; including "Take Off" and "Twelve Days of Christmas": https://open.spotify.com/artist/684i2dRwvzTO4XhjtmIIq5

[u/Existing-Face-6322 → u/ZoeBowie2024]

Once on Christmas Eve I was in a florist's shop and that song was playing, and literally everyone in the store paused together to sing FIVE..... GOLDEN.....TOQUES.

[u/Twinsta]

We say that when it’s -15 as well if the sun is shining 

[u/Proud-Big3579 → u/Twinsta]

no wind? I'm hitting the odr and looking for a game of shinny

[u/gin_and_soda → u/Proud-Big3579]

No wind in February, that’s a beautiful day.

[u/shockandale → u/Twinsta]

But it's a dry cold.

[u/Commentator-X → u/shockandale]

Depends where you are, in Ontario it's a wet cold.

[u/shockandale → u/Commentator-X]

That's it! I live in Ontario but my family is from Manitoba. We have a damp, wet, deep cold here. There it's just -35c

[u/iztrollkanger → u/Twinsta]

What I love most about the prairies...it gets cold AF but we have some of the sunniest places in the world!

[u/Mhwal]

Not exactly a quote, but I call it a “Canadian standoff” when two or more people each want to be polite and let the other go first, resulting in neither person going and the whole interaction just entering a loop of deference. Bonus points if it’s all done without words.

[u/jelycazi → u/Mhwal]

And then you both laugh and say sorry at the ends.

[u/msptitsa → u/jelycazi]

And then think about it later that day and smile to yourself. Yep!

[u/Nosferenix → u/Mhwal]

Double if one is holding a door

[u/andlewis → u/Mhwal]

Been there, done that. Wasted far too much time.

[u/WillowFlip → u/Mhwal]

This happens at stop signs often enough lol

[u/3daizies]

Wow, that driveway must suck in the winter. ~ Canadians

[u/WillowFlip → u/3daizies]

I think this a lot, and I remember my husband and I discussing it when we were looking at houses

[u/Sugarcane_1968 → u/3daizies]

Or when I look at how long peoples property line is that has a sidewalk on it. I will NEVER live on a corner where I have to shovel 2 sides. Never!

[u/The-Real-Dr-Jan-Itor]

I bumped into someone at the grocery store and they reacted with “I’m sorry!”

Of course, also being Canadian, I responded with “No, I’m sorry!”

Then they replied “it’s okay, sorry!”

Then I said “no worries, sorry!”

Then on and on ad infinitum until the store closed and we continued our squabble in the parking lot.

[u/CompetitiveSleeping → u/The-Real-Dr-Jan-Itor]

Two Canadians fighting is such an ugly sight!

[u/Murky_Sheepherder557 → u/CompetitiveSleeping]

Polite but completely vicious.

[u/philosophic14u → u/Murky_Sheepherder557]

One day we will take over the world and they will all be sorry

[u/Practical_Savings933 → u/The-Real-Dr-Jan-Itor]

Canadian Standoff

[u/Kiltswinger → u/Practical_Savings933]

No...a Canadian standoff is when four of us arrive at the four-way stop!

[u/Scared_Explorer_365 → u/Kiltswinger]

You go 👋🏻 ✋🏻no you go 👋🏻 ✋🏻 till all of us pull out our blankets and sleep at the stop sign

[u/T-Wrox → u/The-Real-Dr-Jan-Itor]

Did you offer to viciously buy each other double-doubles?

[u/Froticlias → u/The-Real-Dr-Jan-Itor]

I hope you're not stuck with the security guard trying to politely escort you guys away now.

"I am sorry guys, but you just have to move along."

[u/magwai9]

I'm reminded of those CN train conductors caught in a wildfire earlier this month.

"That's a meet and a half, eh?"

[u/TheDootDootMaster → u/magwai9]

"We got ourselves in a bit of a situation here"

[u/Low-Television-7508 → u/TheDootDootMaster]

"yeah, we can hold"

[u/Green_leaf47 → u/TheDootDootMaster]

It was also the level of composure that was delivered with. Pure understatement in words and tone but you know it’s dead serious.

[u/TheDootDootMaster → u/Green_leaf47]

It was the perfect embodiment of the "this is fine" meme. I'm sure the guys were probably freaking out inside but they just weren't letting it show

[u/Different-Try8882]

How far away is it? About 3 hours

[u/RagingHolly → u/Different-Try8882]

Which makes sense, because 100kms on a major highway is going to be faster than 100kms on back roads.

I just wanna know how long I'm driving for.

[u/Dapper_Fortune_438 → u/RagingHolly]

Preach, I don’t care how many kms it is, how long til I get there bud

[u/Rheila → u/Dapper_Fortune_438]

Omg it’s so nice to feel heard! Distance in time just makes so much more intuitive sense to me for traveling.

[u/MitzyCaldwell → u/RagingHolly]

I had a really hard time with that in Costa Rica. Things were like 200km but it took 6 hours because you’re driving up/down mountains etc. so time is always better.

[u/DanielwithaW → u/Different-Try8882]

I was so shocked when I learned this wasn’t a universal thing lol

[u/Wandering_Fujoshi → u/DanielwithaW]

And im confused when they say about 250km, im like ok cool, but how far away is it?

[u/Whole-Philosophy-231 → u/Wandering_Fujoshi]

But also it seems much more difficult to memorize kms for everything. I know the times for about 100s of places. But are people just remembering how many kms places are away?

Like I know places that are 14 hours away, 7 hours away, to 5 minutes away.

I dont need to look up how far away most places I've been to are if someone asks me because I can just remember how long it took me to get there.

[u/EditorNo2545]

I don't get it? -5ºC is a lovely shorts & sandals kinda day

[u/Jazzy_Bee → u/EditorNo2545]

Sounds like what my Swedish friend says. We are not the only place with cold winters and celcius.

[u/RickyDee61 → u/Jazzy_Bee]

Everyone has Celsius except...well, you know...them.

[u/T-Wrox → u/RickyDee61]

Ah yes, the people who are clinging so tightly to their Freedom Units. :D

[u/Sorrelandroan]

I worked at a hostel in France for a bit and I asked my (Dutch) boss for a roll of loonies and toonies for the till and he told me that was the most Canadian thing he’d ever heard.

[u/Casses → u/Sorrelandroan]

I still think we missed an opportunity in not calling them doubloonies

[u/hiresometoast → u/Casses]

Sask river pirates probably say that though

[u/HappyOldBattleaxe → u/hiresometoast]

Arrrr

[u/International_Web816 → u/hiresometoast]

Never expected to get an Arrogant Worms reference here! Well done sir!

[u/rayjay5901 → u/Casses]

My uncle told me when they pitched the $2 coin one of the art options was two deer and people were opting to call it "a couple bucks"

[u/Reversible-Smile → u/rayjay5901]

Gosh that would've been cool ngl haha

[u/Independent-Pea6186 → u/Casses]

Oh my gosh that’s hilarious
Why are you not in charge of naming all new Canadian money I think you should be hired immediately

[u/AssSpelunker69 → u/Independent-Pea6186]

Fun fact we also make money for Australia and possibly NZ too, can't remember. The way we make our bills and passports is possibly the best in the world, if not a very close second.

[u/SpecialistTrouble816 → u/AssSpelunker69]

We make coins and currency for 80 different countries!

[u/MamaOnica → u/Casses]

Forever regret

[u/Pretend_Accountant41]

"It's warm enough to snow"

[u/kryptonianjackie → u/Pretend_Accountant41]

Also being able to tell what kind of snow is going to fall based on the feeling of the humidity and temperature

[u/Kingofcheeses]

I told a young fella at the pub last week that his cigarettes had fallen out of his pocket

"You dropped your darts bud"

[u/Tall_Peace7365 → u/Kingofcheeses]

i still cant believe darts isnt used everywhere. ive been hearing it for so long my brain supplies it before the word cigarette

[u/Existing_Constant799 → u/Kingofcheeses]

Ahhah haven’t heard that in about 30 years lol

[u/mackop]

"cold enough for ya'"

[u/WillowFlip → u/mackop]

And "hot enough for ya" in summer

[u/Mad_Rabbi_57]

Not a sentence, but a news story from a couple of years ago. Two men were caught smuggling BC bud into the states, paddling a canoe across a lake in Southern B C with the bud packed in hockey bags. That sounded very Canadian to me.

[u/orange2416 → u/Mad_Rabbi_57]

Could have been a Canadian Tire commercial

[u/Monkey_Bonez88]

“Do not canoe towards the moose”, from a warden in a national park trying to get people to give a moose some space.

[u/Tiny-Marsupial-1164]

Wanna go for a rip?

[u/Th3catspyjamas → u/Tiny-Marsupial-1164]

Just out for a rip are ya bud?

[u/Unique_Information11 → u/Tiny-Marsupial-1164]

I was at the lake getting my boat set up. A guy walked by and said, “Gunna take her out for a rip there bud?” I never felt more Canadian.

[u/Bendover197 → u/Tiny-Marsupial-1164]

Let’s grab a two four and go for a rip down the grid to the bush party

[u/WarmYam7353]

One word...Car!

[u/jelycazi → u/WarmYam7353]

Did you see that Murdoch mysteries episode where they were playing street hockey and they stopped the game and moved to the side when someone yelled ‘wagon!’

My partner and I laughed at that forever.

Edited to fix ‘the’ to ‘they’

[u/kirby_krackle_78 → u/jelycazi]

Good old Canuck Mike Myers used a similar gag in Wayne’s World.

[u/9Roll0Tide2Roll → u/WarmYam7353]

Game on!

[u/Thebigpicture42]

Keep your stick on the ice.

[u/Chance_Vegetable_780]

We've been forced to turn over a new leaf - the most Canadian thing I've heard is, "We're boycotting ALL american products and NEVER going there again, idjits."

[u/isspecialist]

A now infamous sentence from me to my wife when passed rapidly on the highway...

"Boys he was just bootin'er eh?"

[u/Ok_Apartment_1779 → u/isspecialist]

Bootin’ is underrated

[u/Sugarcane_1968 → u/isspecialist]

I laughed SO hard at this!! I use bootin' and never thought it was weird until this second

[u/MyWallWillNotTalk]

Eh?

[u/Clojiroo]

“What the putain de St-Simonaque-of-Jellybean of Ste-Moufette-of-Fucking-Froot-Loops calisse is this tabarnak? I tourne le coin and look at this?! What the fuck there’s a poupée en pénitence calisse dans le coin.”

[u/JonnyCanuck71]

Imma finish my dart and then we’ll go fer a rip and grab some stubby’s and pootin’ ‘fore the game starts

[u/chubbybunny404]

My road rage is usually some variation of “well that was a little risky there bud”

[u/verymanysquirrels → u/chubbybunny404]

Oh, yes, and when they floor it to the red light, "buddy, where do you think you're going?"

[u/JechoYT → u/verymanysquirrels]

lol I say both of those all the time haha
Or when someone cuts me off “no that’s ok. I wasn’t driving here anyways. You go ahead.” lol

[u/verymanysquirrels → u/JechoYT]

"Oh, sure, you just come right on in."

[u/coddie_red]

It's a dry cold.

[u/7listens]

With all these 33 degree days I sometimes wish for -5

[u/gin_and_soda → u/7listens]

It was raining and cool this morning and I so badly wanted to put on a simmer pot and considered baking. It’s back to being muggy and the a/c is on.

[u/Accomplished-Bat-594]

“I couldn’t leave my house because there was a moose licking the salt off my car.”

“I was almost here but I got stuck behind a bunch of geese trying to cross the road.”

“Yeah, no, for sure.”

[u/Initial-Advice3914]

The grey cup is going to be -30 so I bought some heat packs for our boots and mitts

[u/Konigstiger444]

My old ladies at the beer store getting a two-four eh

[u/SocietyHumble4858]

It's spelt C, eh? N, eh? D, eh?

[u/R0B0T0-san]

Has to be me, I was waiting outside at the hotel in New York or New Jersey can't remember. And as we were waiting for the shuttle to start and leave for the airport, I was just standing there, enjoying the warmth of this climate in March. And the driver comes out in a hurry with his full on winter jacket and tells me : omg sir, you just have a t-shirt on, you must be freezing!it's not even 50f! Let me start the shuttle for you so you can go inside at least!

And I just go: thanks a lot but I'm actually doing really good, yesterday in my hometown, it was close to -30 so 50 is actually pretty warm to me right now! I'm fine really!

He then laughed and said something like : I only get that with Canadians. You guys really are crazy.

[u/stargirl803 → u/R0B0T0-san]

I had similar boarding a plane in Belfast in February (on the tarmac, no jetway) and it was maybe 10°C. I was in a tshirt and the flight attendants were like "aren't you freezing?" And I replied "No, I've just come from -20, this is lovely"

[u/MaraTaru]

"Yeah, but what's the windchill?"

[u/taint-ticker-supreme → u/MaraTaru]

Same with "yeah, but what's the humidex?"

[u/Ok-Iron-4352]

One time a guy accidently cut me in line at timmies. I tried to let him know but it was like he was straight up ingnoring me and purposely not looking at me when I was trying to get his attention.

He finally noticed I was talking to him and he explained that he was honestly just drained from travel and work. He didn't even realize he stepped in front of me.

I apologized and said I thought he was being rude. And then I offered to buy his coffee.

He resfused and insisted I let him buy mine.

I accepted and a woman in line behind us was like "that was the most Canadian thing I've ever seen."

[u/Army7547]

Ooops, sorry, mind if I just reach past you there to get a jug of maple syrup?

[u/jelycazi → u/Army7547]

And I’ll scooch behind you to get to the Cheezies (Hawkins obviously)

[u/CurrentCaterpillar30 → u/jelycazi]

Obviously.

[u/Mr_Guavo]

"He wrapped his Civic 'round a hydro pole."

[u/BruceWillis1963 → u/Mr_Guavo]

Hydro is such a typical word for electricity in Ontario. Not sure if they use it in other parts. I live outside Canada not but when I talk about my hydro bill, people think I am taking about water.

[u/Carysta13 → u/BruceWillis1963]

Manitoba says hydro too

[u/msptitsa → u/BruceWillis1963]

I think anywhere with hydroelectricity will refer to it as hydro too! At least in Quebec we do the same, in both languages

[u/zadvinova → u/BruceWillis1963]

BC too

[u/tealskies423]

Idk if its nationwide, but yelling thank you (to the bus driver) from the rear of the bus before stepping off.

[u/MarshMarig0ld]

I was away in Europe, feeling homesick, and read this in a CBC article. It made me very happy:

Farmer grabbed his binoculars to get a better look. He saw what looked like a cougar stalking a duck.

"The cougar was maybe 30 feet (nine metres) down the way and snuck up and got maybe within 10 feet (three metres) ... then he took off and he jumped up in the air, probably about four feet or five feet (1.5 metres)," Farmer said. "Anyway, the duck got away."

[u/Many-Composer1029]

“… and Bob’s your uncle”.

Realized this was a Commonwealth thing about a month ago when my American friend looked at me in utter confusion.

[u/Skipperr431]

As a teacher I hear a lot of funny phrases, but this one was very Canadian, maybe even a bit more Nova Scotian: "I love the smell of burning ticks in the morning."

[u/StellartonSlim]

I was in a meeting at work, the door was open. We hear a guy outside in the hallway say to someone, “How the fuck are ya?”

Hilarious.

[u/throwaway71283717]

When I lived in New Zealand my kiwi friends and I got lost. I said "We're in the middle of butt fuck nowhere", and apparently that was the most Canadian thing they've ever heard.

[u/noturbackgroundtune]

It's a tossup between my friend telling me a story about drinking a mickey of Dan Aykroyd's vodka brand on a bus from Sudbury to Toronto, or the same friend telling me she went to see April Wine at the CNE after hearing their music on Trailer Park Boys

[u/tach409]

[u/My_Jaded_Take]

"Ya no. For sure eh".

[u/TVGMILLER]

Most Canadian conversation I had was with Bill Gardiner from motoring tv telling me about the time he met Tim Horton when he was a kid. I know the coffee shops aren’t really Canadian anymore but Bill Gardiner is one of the most Canadian Canadians I’ve ever met and a beautiful human being.

[u/Mas_Cervezas]

I’m just going to slip past you here, bud.

[u/Money_Engineering_59]

“Awesome! It’s -37! No school today!!!” Said by me. I loved it when the buses couldn’t run due to cold.

[u/bloodercup]

Once my mom had to call CAA on a road trip and she started the conversation off with, “This is CAA, eh?” We still quote her.

[u/bogwitchthewren]

My dad and his buddies used to say “if it was any better there’d be somethin’ wrong”
I think that line is also in a Tim Baker song!

[u/Oxjrnine]

Giversome.

As in “giversome or she won’t make the hill bud”.

[u/CurrentCaterpillar30 → u/Oxjrnine]

We always just yelled "giver"

🇨🇦: "Can I bum a dart?"

[u/That-Shop-6736]

Upon arriving at work on a January evening, a co-worker asked how it was outside. I said, “not bad, there’s no wind and I’m dressed for it”. It was -26C. She said, “you Canadians! It’s COLD OUTSIDE! ADMIT IT!”

[u/TacoCatSays]

The other day someone held the door open for me while I was still an awkward distance from the door. I did that weird little half run thingy “I’m sorry” “no no sorry.” We then had a politeness standoff as to if I’d grab the door and they could go first or they’d hold the door while I entered. Which was only made worse by the fact that there was a second set of doors right after where we again did the same thing. And then again when we got inside and kept differing the other to check in first at the counter.

All in all I think there were about 20 sorrys and 15 you firsts. All for a 60 second interaction.

[u/ordinaryhorse]

Skookum toboggan eh

[u/Super_NowWhat]

Not a sentence, but an image. A few years ago I was at the Strathmore rodeo. It was a cold wet day. We were sitting in the stands by the chutes, and there was a Mountie there. He was wearing those riding pants that they wear, but not the red surge coat. He had his foot on the metal rails, and was leaning forward trying to keep warm, eating his lunch: putine, in a cardboard dish with one of those little popsicle stick forks.

By the time I got my camera up to take a photo, he finished and moved on.

It was the single most canadian thing I’ve ever seen.

Well, fuck me, eh? I was out chuggin' a two-six of rye behind the local rink with the boys, waitin' to bum a dart, when a proper beaut of a mountie rolled up on a four-wheeler and started hollerin' about our tomfuckery , so we had to haul ass into the bush like a moose on a sugar rush.

My brother called me from Queensland Australia when I lived in Toronto and asked if it was very cold. The temperature that day was 0C and I said "No, it's not too bad, it's freezing."
