- Lineup, there's no way this means something
that doesn't actually say what it is.
- Oh, does it mean like the people.
- Is this a trick question?
- The bands that are playing?
- Oh, the lineup? - Over the course of a night?
- No, it just means people in a line.
- Do you not say that here?
- How is that Canadian?
[upbeat music]
- Hi, I'm Finn Wolfhard.
- And I'm Mackenzie Davis.
- And we're here to teach you some Canadian.
- [Both] Slang. - We try it?
Serviette.
- [Mackenzie] A serviette, it's a napkin.
- I don't know, I just know napkin.
- Okay but you've traveled so much.
- So zero, which I should know.
- You've lost some essential Canadian-ness.
- So I have zero points, okay.
- A serviette is a napkin, yeah.
- Should I call it that at dinner now?
- Yes, it's nice, it's just a little more formal.
- [Finn] Do you do that? - No, I don't.
- Yeah [laughs]. - I've been here too long.
- Yeah, "may I have a serviette"?
Canadian tuxedo, that's jean on jean.
- Oh, denim on denim, baby.
- And I do it all the time, still.
- [Mackenzie] Yeah, so do I.
- So that's a point for both of us?
- [laughs] Yeah, okay, that's a tie.
- Is that a point for both of us, that's a tie.
Shit-kickers. - Boots?
- Really, why not? - Point for me.
- Canuck.
- Canuck is a Canadian, a violent slur for a Canadian.
- Yeah, for a while, yeah, yeah.
And it's also a hockey team.
- Yeah, well, the Canucks.
- The Canucks. - So that's one point for me.
- Canuck, well.
- [Both] Hang a Larry. - Turn left.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Hang a Roger, that's a right, I'm assuming.
"Actually, it's a reverse".
- And you used context clues for that and I love that.
- [Finn] Caesar, Caesar salad.
- Oh, oh, it's a bloody Mary, it's, you guys call it
but it has clamato juice in it.
- [Finn] Oh yeah, clamato juice.
- It's a grown-up drink.
- Milk in a bag, that's just milk in a bag in Ontario.
- If it's, yeah, in Ontario, in Quebec,
they serve milk in a bag, it is foreign to us.
Everyone there owns their own plastic milk jug
and then you put the bag of milk in the milk jug
but it means that there's, the milk is always exposed,
it's never closed, there's always this part
that you snip off so it pours.
- So, it goes bad so quick.
- Or I'm just thinking of service fridge smell,
it's like a baking soda container or something.
- Yeah, it's gross, yeah, yeah.
Freezies are, oh, the best.
- I don't even know what you would call it--
- An ice pop, I guess, Otter Pops?
- Yeah, the frozen things in plastic that are colorful.
- Shreddies, a cereal, most of our slang
is just words abbreviated.
- [laughs] That we just add some pizzazz to.
- So, freezer pops are freezies,
shredded wheat are shreddies.
- Yeah. - [Finn] Girl Guides.
- Girl Guides are girls - Are cookies.
- Well, no, they're the, Girl Scouts is what you call them.
- [Finn] Hydro is power. - Oh yeah, water power.
- That is how we run a city.
- Oh, I didn't realize that was a Canadian slang.
- [Finn] Nanaimo bar, delicious.
- Oh, the best, it's a base of sort of a coconut
and chocolate, like a cocoa thing, brownie thing.
- Vanilla, weird.
- The filling is like a vanilla custardy filling.
- It's in the middle.
- And then a hard chocolate topping,
you'd get it on the BC Ferries, a Nanaimo bar.
- Beavertail is, it's in Toronto.
- It's everywhere. - So, it's everywhere.
- There's one in Whistler as well.
It's a fried dough with sugar and cinnamon and sugar on it
and then some lemon but it's this big fried tail,
you'd get it in the winter.
And so, that's a French-Canadian meat pie.
- Icing sugar is powdered sugar.
The dep.
- The dep, the [speaks foreign language],
it's the corner store.
- Where?
- So, a [speaks foreign language] in Montreal.
- Oh, oh yeah, really?
- Yeah and you say
"oh, I'm going to the dep to get, you know, some darts".
- Mountie.
- [Mackenzie] It's our mounted police officers.
- Police, RCMP, wonderful people.
Donair but that's not Canadian.
Oh, I guess it's a really common Canadian, yeah.
- It's a popular sandwich, yeah.
- Parkade, parking lot, underground parking lot.
Toboggan, that is-- - A sled.
- Yeah, a sled.
The bill. - The check.
- [Finn] The check.
- Housecoat is a bathrobe.
- Jesus Murphy is Jesus Christ
but you're saying "Jesus Murphy".
Keener, I genuinely don't know this.
- I assume it's somebody who's really keen in class.
- Is that true?
- Somebody who's really keen in class?
- Oh, a keener, like a brown--
- So, it's that's 100% right, she did this thing.
[both laugh]
I've answered it completely accurately.
- "So, is it a brown-noser?"
"It's like a kind of"--
- "Can it be someone whose name is brown?"
[both laugh]
- Thanks for watching,
we hope you learned something about Canadian slang.
- We certainly did.
- Apparently, we did, we had no idea what a lot, yeah.
- What most of them were.
- What an outro [laughs].
- Killed it. - That was fun.
