and you all talk with drawls. - Reagen Jul 13, 07:26 36
- so, is the 'aboot' thing a Canadian regionalism like drawls are here? -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 07:28 35
  - thank these guys -- (link) - Beaker Jul 13, 07:35 [youtube] 9
    - can't stream at work. Is this Bob and Doug McKenzie? -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 07:41 2
      - yes! -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 07:42 1
        
        Awesome! -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:46
    - (also for "eh?") -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 07:35 5
      - "eh" is real but people parodying it get it wrong - Reagen Jul 13, 07:38 4
        
        Or in Diva terms, it's like saying 'yonh?' -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 07:43 1
        
        YONH!! -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 07:44
        
        Robin Sparkles exaggerated? -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:39 1
        
        *narrows eyes* -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 07:45
  - yes, and even then it's exaggerated. - Reagen Jul 13, 07:32 3
    - what region is it from? -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 07:33 2
      - Southern Ontario, and sometimes you'll hear it from Vancouverites. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 07:34 1
        
        that makes sense. I visited Southern Ontario a lot when I was younger and I heard it all the time. But not from everyone there. I don't recall hearing - Diva Jul 13, 07:36
  - I've literally never heard anyone say aboot. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 07:31 20
    - "aboat" is more accurate. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 07:36
    - *laughing* -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 07:32 1
      - not the way you guys think we do. we have shorter vowel sounds, you guys drag them out. -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 07:33
    - Mop has that accent. From Vancouver B.C. area if I remember -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:32 16
      - Mop speaks Mop. -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 07:35
      - Mop is from Montreal. Where they mostly speak French. -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 07:34 11
        
        Wow, how did I get that so wrong. Eesh -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:36 10
        
        did you mix up "mop" & "mud"? -- nm - mud Jul 13, 07:48 1
        
        No I mixed up Mop and Bery -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:49
        
        you were only off about 3,000 miles. :) -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 07:38 7
        
        I got the right continent so there is that. Is that farther east than you? -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:40 6
        
        yes, yes it is. Montreal is about a 5-6 hour drive from Toronto. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 13, 07:42 5
        
        My eastern usa geography isn't much better. I have this idea you can drive through all the upper Atlantic states in 6 hours - Bacon Jul 13, 07:45 4
        
        No argument on the IM. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 07:46 3
        
        What is that all aboot? -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:49 2
        
        When there's a chance for a sweet burn, I take the sweet burn. - Shaun Jul 13, 07:50 1
        
        It burns it burns. oh look a Pokemon -- nm - Bacon Jul 13, 07:55
      - Fair enough. We have our own accent out here. I've been told mine is obvious. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 07:33 1
        
        I used to work with someone from Fredericton - Reagen Jul 13, 07:44
      - Mop has a great big blender of an accent. - Reagen Jul 13, 07:33
