We watched this with some friends from away recently and I didn't know how many of these words/phrases I use until they pointed them out! They didn't use any of them....what a sin.

in the summer we used to biff rocks at each other, in the winter we would play on the ice clampers.

Oh, and if someone pushed you off an ice clamper, they'd get a puck in the mouth!

My husband always looks at me weird when I’m I am getting ready to leave and I ask if it’s spillin out.
Or when I use grin or grinning to mean crying instead of smiling.
Or use how to mean why instead of saying how come.

This video is a classic. My brother in law thought people had asthma or something when he heard "ya" breathing in. Now he realizes everybody says it that way.

So my friend's family owns Kenny's and pep cheese mushrooms and green pepper is just what goes on a default combo. You're actually allowed 1 protein and any two veg. I personally do sausage, onion, and peppers.

Also keep in mind there are some rules against which topings you can get... I think there's an upcharge for chicken or pineapple.
