7 cottagey words you’ll only hear in Canada
Although Canadians and Americans share a common language, we have a few words here north of the border that haven’t quite trickled down south. (If you’ve ever asked where the washroom was in Washington and gotten a blank stare, you’ve experienced the phenomenon first-hand.) Here are a few terms that you’ll only hear north of the 49th.

Double-double

Two-four, beer store, and pint

Peameal/back bacon

Tuque/toque/touque

Toboggan

Hydro

Smarties, Coffee Crisp, Bloody Caesars, Kinder Surprise eggs, and ketchup and all-dressed chips
