and jib, forgert the "eh" the best things any canadian has ever said to me is "soccerball". my friend has family here from your fine nation and they say it about 100 times a day now.
australian:soccabawll
canadian :sock-kerr-balll
your accent, similar to the us in some ways, really loves r. australiansm i have recently noticed and when talking to the exchange people that have stayed here dont really say r. you say carr and we say cah basically (for the word car).
whats an alcohol?
im a guy and i think generally you can get a fair idea of a persons sex by seeing what they say. and jib your always debating or sarcastically ridiculing someone else with the likes of thrice frost alejo or myself at times too etc etc so i guess people assume your as closed minded and arrogant just like us. therefore, you must be a guy. which, evidently, you are not.

haha, this is why i'd never put a pic up in the member picture gallery, then it would stop people thinking up hilarious images of me assuming i'm a guy. Yeah aussie accents are great to immitate, and it's fun to play up steriotypes when I go to another country. Growing up I went to school with mostly americans, and only one other kid in my class was canadian, which we took full advantage of. We went together for a country studies project in the third grade (just a little two day project with a presentation). It was a lot of fun telling the rest of the class about how back in canada we rode dogsleds to school, and how we'd go swimming whenever the weather got to be above the freezing level because it was such a rare occurence that we'd want to take advantage of it. And of course hockey was a mandatory subject in school, along with seal hunting. Then we handed out beef jerkey, told everyone it was Moose, and that it was a delicacy in Canada. The teacher wasn't all that impressed, he never did have a good sense of humour. |
