I find this whole west east stuff amusing........ oh wait maybe it's east west.... wouldn't want to offend anyone.... where is the line?, is it in the middle of the country? If so, a big chunk of Manitoba is "east".......

In spite of the fact that I hail from evil Ontario, I am the biggest good old boy you will ever meet.....

My career has put me all over this country and I can honestly tell anyone me that I have met some great folks from all provinces.....

Yep, Toronto sucks...... but, in our most western province, there is plenty of sucking going on too......

Speaking from experience, you ever want to feel out of place? Pull up to a Starbucks (I like their coffee), in Vancouver or the lower mainland in a vehicle that isn't black white or silver......... head in sporting a carharrt jacket and jeans and a ballcap....... look around you and see the reactions of the masses in their drab clothing peaking over their MacBooks looking at you like you are going to rob the place.......

Then, ask the staff for a "large coffee"....... you will get educated in Italian......... (apparently I am supposed to order a Vente pike, leave room)....... to me, the LML and Vancouver was like living in "pleasantville"......

Couple that with an NDP govornement in Alberta and tell me how "progressive" the west is.......

Hoyt is right........ this argument never boils down to east versus west........ it always boils down to urban versus rural.....

Well, I go with Ky-oat, or when I'm trying to get a friend going its yotee.

 

[ironsighter]

OK.

"Cabin" vs. "Cottage".

GO!

(In case anyone doesn't know, a 1 million dollar luxury home on any lake in BC is a "cabin", whether it is made out of logs or not. An actual log cabin is also called a "cabin". In Ontario, these are all called "cottages", except for actual cabins.)

Westernisms,

-"Four point buck" = Four points on its best side, or four points per side.
-"Ky-yoote" = Small scavenging predator inferior to wolves, cougar, wolverine, grizzly, lynx, black bear, and some forms of Pokémon.
-"Huckleberry" = Small red, tart berries that often grow on nurse logs or heavily wooded humus.
-"Piebald" = Calico or spectacled deer.
-"Timber Tiger" = Chipmunk.
-"Sluicing" = Shooting birds on the ground or water.
-"Skookum" = Overly sturdy, heavy, and tough. Derogatory when referring to women.
-"Flat top" = Doe, attritibuted to Tod Bartell.
-"Slicks" = Does, attributed to yokels and Timber Tiger hunters.

Ok I'll play along. Three from Saskatchewan that annoy the hell out of me.

Track hoe- an excavator.
Bunny hug- a hooded pullover sweatshirt.
Vico- socialist chocolate milk.

There ya go! And coming from an unexpected quarter... I'm positively beaming with bright hope for tomorrow...

I will add another
Drugged - dragged

Eg we drugged a deer out of the bush

 

[hogiron]

Steve Rinella describes the difference in terms used as (paraphrasing here) city people call them "ki-yote-ees". People who have shot them call them "ki-yoats". I cringe every time I hear it pronouned ki-yote-ee.

you and me both.

 

[albayo]

A friend of mine called them Coy Dogs.

Coy dogs is when they mate. Then they have all the predator of a coyote, and all the fearlessness of a domestic dog.

An excavator can be on rubber tires. We'd probably call that a Grade-all; but that aside if you phone for a Track-hoe you'll get a track-hoe. Ask for an excavator and you get a bunch of questions with the last one being what size of track-hoe you need.

Bunny-hug was a brand name once.

ViCo was also a registered trade-mark. My generation remembers it well, the current generation wouldn't know what you're talking about.

Here's more SK peeves
Pickerel when referring to walleye. Two different species, pickerel are closer to pike than walleye
Skinheads when referring to does
Meridian = median of a highway
Boarder ko-lee = boarder collie

 

[BeaverMeat]

I can't take it any longer.......watching Jason Peterson's into the wild last night, and that is how he describes coyotes.....as "KYUTES" WTF? The word is pronounced Ki-yote-e not Kyute. How in the Sam hell did the pronunciation for coyote manage to be butchered that badly.

Ps: not picking on just westerners the yanks call acorns.."Akerns". And how is a roof a ruff????

Sorry if I'm picking on anyone but come on the guy is a TV host, lets at least pretend we can speak proper English.

Rant complete!

I know, eh!

It's like when those stupid Brits call freedom fires "chips", or an elevator a "lift". And they act like they invented the damn language. Geez!

I can pronounce coyote any way I please! There is no proper English... That's why it's the most versatile language in the world.

I'm guilty of mispronouncing Border Collie. I'm also guilty of spelling it correctly.

What really peeves me is when people call them just a collie. Totally different breed.

Pickerel drives me nuts too, but I think that one is Canada wide.

A Gradall Is a registered trademark for an unusual type of excavator that has a telescoping boom as opposed to a knuckle jointed stick and boom

Hough a rubber tired loader but since hough all but owned the market at one time the name is quite common with farmers

Maintainer a motor grader but the farmers refer to them as maintainers or road maintainers

 

[Got Juice?]

As far as hating ontario, and Toronto in particular; these places are the engines that drive the Canadian economy. I don't particularly care for T.O. either, but it is a necessary evil.
!

Better tell them the engine is broken ... otherwise why do we keep sending money there??

 

[AlbertaJohn]

Walleye not friggin" Pickerel.. lol

 

[Purple shoulder]

I was born and raised in SK and I say ky-oot. But I'm one of those horrible people that calls it a clip.
