Hip Hip

"Why not pay homage to one of the greatest Canadian bands, while maintaining a class cheer (Hip Hip Hooray).
So raise your glasses and say Hip Hip .... and the hooray will follow down to your belly!"

So say we all

Amber from Toronto, ON:

Many would recognize this line from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, but I think it's a great way of showing our unity as a country as well (and it doesn't hurt that half the cast of the show was Canadian, either!)

Hadeed

Rosaltn from Toronto:

"What it means to us:
The word Ha-deed (sounds like it looks) is something me and my friends always say when we are:

1- excited about something
2- happy with the plans we've made
3- when something is "cool" or we say HADEED!

Background/Origin:
The word is of Arabic decent and the direct translation means "steel".

A "hadeed" story:
My friend and I decided to go to Niagara Falls on a Thursday night. We went to the bar
and met pretty much everyone in the bar (it wasn't very busy). Everyone at the club ended up
outside at one point. I got up and said that on three we were going to change it from cheers to HADEED!
Everyone on the patio went nuts!!! I had everyone in there, including the DJ, saying Hadeed by the end of the night.
We should bring it back (by popular demand)!!

Hoser

Allan from somewhere in Canada:

"Take off eh!!

Yeah, I took the word (Hoser) made famous by Bob and Doug McKenzie in the movie Strange Brew.

Its quite iconic for myself since I basically grew up with that movie."

Thanks

Chill

I'm from Gatineau, Quebec and in this region we represent the fringlish. As we are surrounded by borders that are majorly anglophone we have acquired a special way of speaking french. In our region we represent the collaboration of our 2 founding nations working side by side as they have for quite some time now. So the word definitely is CHILL! Everybody needs to do it and we are the best at it. So I say to all my fellow Canadians let's chill together.

Eh!..By!

Lisa from Newfoundland:

"My name is Lisa and i'm proud to say i'm from Newfoundland.
As everyone knows Newfoundland is very distinct, most people say we're more like irish/english because of our dialect. We love to celebrate and embrace our culture we even have the tradition of "screeching" tourists in to become honorary Newfoundlanders.


We always use the word 'By! at the end of our sentances, whereas most of Canada is known for saying 'Eh! at the end of theirs. Americans especially imitate us using this expression Eh!, but it makes us distinct as a country, we're known for it.


So from coast to coast in great celebration I raise a glass and say Eh!..By!"

Thanks!

Here here

Rain from Winnipeg:

"Here", in Canada, is the best place to live by far! What a great way to remind ourselves of that by declaring it with every toast, every clink of the glass or bottle, celebrating AND agreeing that we are exactly where we want to be at the moment - with friends, with family, with our fellow Canadians in this beautiful country of ours. Here here!"

Thanks!
