Palmer from New Glasgow, NS has this to say:
"This word has taken the place of "drinks" and "cheers" on many occasions among my usual AND rather unusual/random drinking buddies, even if it's not what we're going to drink. Ex: "beers later?"---->"oh you betcha"--->"what are you planning on drinking?" ----> "ah rum probably". It also expresses our love for what is essentially our national pass time. Who would Canada be without great beer and the pride of drinking it? The cold part of America that's who, and noone wants that. We must honor the word as we honor the substance. Because, remember, no one has time for 8 glasses of water a day; however show me a Canadian who loves nothing more than an 8 pack and a hockey game and I'll show you someone that loves....BEERS!"
BEERS! Palmer, BEERS!
Voting is open!! Voting will be open for the next 45 days, please vote wisely! Find each word's home page below for an explanation as to what the heck it means and why it should be Canada's new Cheers.
