Alex: I feel really embarrassed though. People are gonna be judging me real hard.
Chase: That's the point of this video
*Intro music*
Alex: Now I'm nervous!
Chase: Okay then. We can do mine. We'll do mine first. Alex: Okay that's fine we'll do yours first
Chase:Hey guys, it's me. chasey-poo and today I'm FINALLY joined by the beautiful Alex Bertie
Alex: Hi
Chase: Hello
Chase:Do you want to introduce yourself
Alex:Uh, sure. My name is Alex. I am a British trans guy. I make videos on transition. And, yeah, that's it.
Alex: I WROTE A BOOK
Chase: You did write a book
Alex: Yeah
Chase: I have the book
Alex: Order it on Amazon
Chase: *laughs* YEAH OH MY GOD! Here's a little plug
Alex:I'm on brand, I can't help it
Chase: I'll put the link in the description below. You're on brand. I'm also on brand with this
beautiful thing that somebody gave me. It has my shirt though, it's clever. Anyways...
Chase: So today we are going to do some type of language Canadian Québec slang
and we are going to be embarrassing you.
Alex: Yeah, and it's gonna be French, too
Chase: Yeah, oh yeah
Alex: This is going to be French, how is that even fair!?
Chase: That's not fair, I did this on purpose
Alex: I studied French for like five years
Alex: So, so I'm not actually going to understand anything you say
Chase:You don't know anything French?
Alex: I can say like a few fruits, I think
Chase: [ Laughter ]
Alex: and some vegetables, I think I can say 'mushroom' and like 'potato', but
Chase: Say it
Alex: No, no. I'm not going to say this
Both: [ Laughter ] Chase: please Alex: No
Chase: Please say it
Alex: No, no, okay
Chase: So, I don't know if you know anything about Canadian culture
Alex: Nope, nothing
Chase: You know nothing? Okay, great
Chase: Okay, so a 'Loonie'
Alex: A 'Loonie'?
Chase: Yeah
Alex: As in, like...
Chase: [ spells out ] "L O O N I E"
Chase: It's not problematic
Alex: Okay
Chase: [ Laughter ] Yeah
Alex: A 'Loonie'? No, I've got no idea.
Chase: It's, it's a dollar coin
Alex: A Loonie..
Chase: Yeah
Alex: So it's like a 'quid' I guess?
Chase: Yes
Alex: Yeah? Alright, cool!
Chase: Yeah, and a 'Toonie' would be a two dollar coin
Alex: Ah, makes sense, I like that!
Chase: Yeah, but like, we literally call it loonies, "You got some loonies? You got some toonies?
Chase: Okay, a 'tuque'
Alex: Is this more money?
Chase: [ Laughter ] No, no. No more money. [ More laughter ] No more money.
Alex: Is it like a puff on a cigarette?
Chase: No
Alex: No, that's kind of like.. what's it called? Like a 'toke'?
Chase: Yeah, oh yeah, but that's like [ gestures smoking ] this way.
Chase: Age appropriate, no I'm kidding.*laughing* I have wieners on my channel there's no such thing as age appropriate.
Chase: You're saying it properly, though.
Chase: In French [ pronounces 'tuque' in French ]
Chase: But that doesn't help you, it's in English
Alex: A 'tuque', it sounds like something a Scottish person would say, [ Scottish Accent ] a tuque
Chase: IT DOES
Alex: ummmmm
Chase: Do you wanna know what it is?
Alex: Like a coat? I don't know
Chase: Oh you're close! It's an item of clothing.
Alex: Like a tie? A scarf?
Chase: No, you're getting closer.
Alex: Shoes?
Chase: No not lower
Alex: A hat?
Chase: Yes!
Alex: A tuque is a hat.
Chase: Yeah, it's like a beanie
Alex:That's weird
Chase: Like a, like a, like a tuque
Alex: That's weird
Chase: I know, and I never realized that the whole world doesn't know this word until I went to like America
Chase: like the United States, and I was like, 'oh I need to grab my tuque' and they were like, 'Who? What? Your what?"
Chase: A 'double double'. So this is a saying.
Alex: A 'double double'?
Chase: Yeah
Alex: A big bu... A big ass
Chase: [ Laughter ]
Alex: I'm gonna take that as a 'no'!
Chase: [ Laughter ] oh my F****** God!!
Chase: [ sighs ] like my ass basically, that double double
Alex: You've got a double double, yeah
Chase: Oh my god, it's not at all, like literally, literally the complete opposite direction of where you're going right now.
Alex: like a cute puppy?
Chase: [ Laughter ] I'll give you a hint
Chase: It has to do with some type of thing you put in your mouth.
Chase: Like, like that you could eat or drink. I'll give you another clue so you do-
Chase: It's a thing you drink.
Alex: Like a really big drink? Like you get a double double.
Alex: You know, like a double cheeseburger, but it's like a...
Chase: So, yeah, so you're pretty close. It's basically when someone gets, it's USUALLY someone who gets
an oversize coffee, and 'double double' means double cream, double sugar
Alex: Oh!
Chase: And it's a very Canadian thing to be like, oh we're going to, the next word actually.
Alex: I'd like to do that if I actually drank coffee but-
Chase: I don't drink coffee either, but I know it. MMM
Chase: But I think that people do double double when they get the smaller coffees too, and I'm like
why would you, that's two creams
Alex: So it's like
Chase: The creams are like this, like, like they're huge
Alex: They're huge creams
Chase: The creams! T-T-They're so, they're so big! The creams! And the sugars!
Alex: I'm not gonna remember any of this.
Chase: Ah, you'll be watchin this and you'll be like 'oh sh*t' *laughs*
Chase: Okay, a 'two-four'
Chase: I'll give you a sentence. We're gonna go to the store and grab a two-four
Alex: A gun?
Chase: No! *laughs* This is Canadian, oh my god!
Alex: Yeah, it's not American. Is it like a LEGO brick?
Chase: It's something that you'd go buy at a store. Something you could put in your mouth again.
Alex: A Tide Pod?
Both: [ Laughter ]
Chase: I don't think that was a craze in Canada, either.
Chase: You're mixing us up.
Alex: Chewing gum?
Chase: No, but you're close.
I'll tell you. So grabbing at two four means that you're going to go to the corner store
which in Québec we call a "Depanneur"
Alex: Double P
Chase: No, no, one P. DEP we're gonna go to the dep and we're gonna be we're gonna pick up a two four which
means it is a case of beer that has 24 beers in it
Alex: Oh!
Chase: A pack of two four.
Alex: This all makes sense. I feel like I knew of this stuff
Chase: Yeah, but see, yeah, yeah, yeah, but now you,
it's because you're like looking into my eyes and you're like oh
Alex: I'm so distracted
Chase: Oh, those Canadian eyes
Chase: Okay, Timmy's.
Alex: Timmy's?
Chase: Yeah, we're gonna go to Timmy's
Alex: Uh, is it food?
Chase:Yes
Alex: Uh, is it.. Timmy's... I don't know like, is it like a Twinkie? But Chocolate?
Chase: It is like the most iconic restaurant in Canada
Alex: Oh.
Chase: *laughs* Yeah, Timmy's
Alex: Is that what it is? Timmy's?
Chase: It actually stands for Tim Horton's, which is the name of the, yeah.
There's actually a Tim Horton's
Alex: What kind of food is it?
Chase: Oh, it's like coffee. Like, we're gonna grab a double double at Timmy's.
Alex: The more you know. I can go in and get a coffee now. Is it like Starbucks or something?
Chase: It's like Starbucks, but like way cheaper and some people say that the coffee's a lot better
yeah, but they also they sell like little sandwiches and stuff because but they used to only do donuts and coffee when I was a kid
Also, I used to go there when it was like, okay
to smoke inside. Like I would sit in a smoker section with my family who would be smoking
Alex: and how old are you?
Chase: I'm 27
Alex: 27?
Chase: Yeah
Alex: You look good baby! You look good!
Chase: Thanks!
Alex: A 'Canuck'? Isn't that like.. A what?
Chase: A 'Canuck'
Alex: Canuck.
Chase: For everyone who's Canadian, we're looking at each other right now and we're laughing, because
Alex: [ Laughing ] Shut up! Shut the f*** up!
Chase: No, no, no! It's a beautiful thing.
Alex: Isn't it? Isn't that like a sports thing?
Chase: Yes, that has two meanings. That's cool that you know that though!
Chase: Like what are the sports thing that you're imagining?
Chase: [ whispering ] what's the most Canadian sport you can imagine?
Alex: Hockey.
Chase: Yep.
Alex: I like ice hockey, But I don't really follow hockey over there
Chase: Yeah, WOW! Kidding.
Chase: It is a hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks. But!
Alex: But that's not what this is
Chase: No. What this is, the Canucks
LITERALLY means
Canadians.
Alex: Oh!
Chase: I'm a Canuck
Alex: I was gonna guess, like, to be punched in the face or something
Chase: Yeah, that's cute. I was looking at the edge of me what I drew like stuff.
Alex: Is that the cat?
Chase: Yeah, it's the cat
Chase: Okay, and then the last one for the English: beaver tails?
Alex: Please don't tell me it's dirty, is it dirty?
Chase: It is not dirty. I mean...
Alex: Is it like hair?
Chase: No
Alex: No? Okay.
Chase: That's clever, though. Yeah, it's not an animal.
Alex: Is it like a really long jacket and you like? No? No? Both: [ Laughter ]
Chase: Someone please draw that! Somebody who knows what a beaver tail is, draw a beaver tail as a jacket
Alex: What is it?
Chase: Oh my goodness.
Alex: Oh, this is so embarrassing
Chase: I love this. I'm gonna be embarrassed when we have the video on your channel of me trying to guess a British slang? can't wait!
Alex: This is all a lot more classier though than British slang
Chase: Yeah, Oh, no, we're not at the French part yet, which will go by quickly, so very quickly.
Chase: So beaver tails is a food that we eat, and it is very popular in Canada.
Chase: I actually worked at beaver tail while I was in high school
Alex: Oh, so it's like a restaurant?
Chase: Yeah, it's like a...
Chase: You can't like, sit down usually, but it was like at amusement park. You can get a beaver tail.
Alex: Oh, what is it?
Chase: Its definitely disgusting you take a dough and you stretch it out and you throw it in the fryer
Chase: Which is really great because now I have like scars all over my arm the white little things that's oil burning my skin
Chase: How is that? Whatever. So you throw it in the fryer.
Chase: Then you like flip it, you take it down and you put butter all over it. You put chocolate you could put like
Chase: Like cinnamon and sugar, you can put bananas the chocolate and banana one with the white powder on top
Alex: Oh, no, cinnamon and bananas and butter with chocolate. ooh no.
Chase: No? What would you? You could also do like there's like peanut butter.
Alex: Oh, yeah, okay. Chocolate, and peanut butter, and caramel.
Chase: There you go. We had that, there you go, that would be your beaver tail.
Chase: It's flat, it's like, it's like a tail [ claps ] it's like a beaver tail
Chase: I think in the United States they call it like elephant ear because it's huge, of course
Alex: Everything's bigger there
Chase: Yeah, it's three times the size, but I think that you would enjoy a beaver tail.
Chase: I worked for beaver tails two years in a row and I never ate one the first year that I worked in the summer then
Chase: The second year is like I'll have one. Oh my goodness. I every single day. I ate one. It is dangerous
Alex: Are you vegan? I feel like you're vegan.
Chase: Yeah, but back then I was vegetarian.
Chase: What do you call a street here that you, like, like a dead end?
Alex: A T-Junction
Chase: Oh my god, what?
Alex: A T-junction
Chase: Like you go down a road and there's nothing, like you have to turn
Alex: Yeah, yeah, yeah, A T-junction
Chase: So I'm gonna tell you what it is in French, just because I think it is funny
Chase: Cul de sac
Alex: Oh, cul de sac. Yeah we call that a cul de sac too.
Chase: Do you know what the actual, like do you know what that actually means?
Chase: It means, Cul is ass, and de sac is bag. So you're gonna be the ass of the bag
Alex: Nice!
Chase: The ass of the bag
Alex: This is horrible
Chase: [ quietly ] This is my kink
Chase: Je le fur o cu. [ Laughter ] Je le fur o cu.
Alex: Give me a hint
Chase: So, je le fur o cu, means "I have fire under my ass"
Alex: What?
Chase: That's the direct translation it makes no sense in English
Alex: So what does it mean, you've got the sh*ts or something?
Chase: No, you're angry
Alex: Oh [ Laughter ]
Chase: I know! Some of these in French I had no idea. Okay. This one's Lâche pas a la patate
Okay "Lâche pas a la patate" literally translates in English to: "Don't let go of the potato."
Alex: Uh, like don't give up don't let go today
Chase: That's what I thought but it means that don't chicken out.
Chase: Pétant le feu, which literally translates to "farting fire"
Alex: That means sh*tting yourself.
Chase: No, it doesn't
Alex: F***! Alright, talking sh*t?
Chase: No, like you're energetic
Alex: Oh.. This doesn't make any sense
Chase: I know, hell welcome to the French language where everything is gendered
Chase: The table is feminine, and we don't have gender-neutral pronouns, and everything is all over the place
Alex: Does it still mean the same thing in like France as it does in Canada?
Chase: Ah, it depends. There are certain things that like, like our swear words are not in Quebec, are different.
Chase: In France they were telling me in Paris are all kind of relate to like poop and and going like f*** yourself like f*** yourself
Chase: Like [ speaks French ] means go fuck yourself, basically
Chase: But you have to do it in an accent, I don't really have that, I have the Québec gross accent
Chase: The Québec is like [ speaks French ] which is a tabernacle all of our swear words
By the way in Quebec all have to do with the church. So calice is a chalice
I don't know what that is by the way, but this is yeah and then an
ST is the bread like the the blessed bread. Alex: Okay
Chase: So we are the ST calice de tabernac which is a swear world this sentence
It just means tabernac is like the most beautiful word ever invented
Because it means everything and you can use it as a noun as a verb as an adverb as everything LITERALLY Both: *laugh*
Chase: It is a perfect word because you could be like I'm fucking angry
Ja calice de tabernac. Alex: What is that? Chase: It would just be like I'm like fucking pissed off. fuck
Alex: I need to learn that one tabernac it's like ah fucking shit
Chase: Basically, but you can use it forever- Alex: do people over there swear a lot? Chase: Yes. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah
Yeah, we swear you swear a lot here too, like which I didn't feel so bad about swearing but my mom always like fag. Yeah
Those words are nothing compared to your swears which we'll talk about that in your video
Alex: Okay, Chase: because it's British stuff. Which one is your favorite one? Alex: the English thing?
Chase: Yeah Alex: let me see. I kind of like two four yeah. Chase: Yeah, we gotta get it. We gotta go
We gotta go grab a two four. Alex: That's like the strangest thing they could have said. Chase:Yeah
yeah, oh I didn't even do the most Canadian thing anybody in the entire world could ever say
Alex: What's that? Chase: 'eh
You Canadian Alex: Oh Yeah! Right, right
Both: *laughing* Chase: You're looking like what is it?
Alex: I said Yeah and... Chase: that's the most Canadian thing ever Alex: I thought you were going to put that on me then
Chase: *laughs* Alex: I'm gonna school you with some Cockney slang
Chase: I'm really excited for that
so head over to your channel that I will link in the description below to look at that video and I
Will now be embarrassed on your channels because you know, it wasn't that bad. It was pretty good
Like I've been way more embarrassed when I do the language challenges like this was in the same language and like you kind of guessed
some of it but usually me, I'm like I say things that are completely out of there that don't make any sense
Alex: I'm so excited! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go. Chase: Okay, let's go. Thank you so much for joining
I'll see you on his channel in three seconds. BYE!
