Great episode guys. To be clear however, most of these stereotypical expressions are rural, 'hoser' expressions. Think Appalachia.
poutine = Canadian chili fries
This is the perfect episode Jack, with perfect natural expressions. ❤
Canadian vocabulary is quite tough. No offence offcourse, what if, I don't focus on canadian/Australian vocabulary? I'm just curious, if American English isn't a complete language?
It's the easiest one.
