Hip Hip
Jeff from Toronto:
"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)!!
