Who’s the shit disturber that put Cheezies in my poutine?
The latest edition of the Canadian Oxford Dictionary has more than 2,000 uniquely Canadian words and phrases, editor Katherine Barber tells CanWest News in an article published today.
The Canadianisms include: all dressed, bachelor apartment, butter tart, Cheezies, chesterfield, deke, dick all, double-double, eavestrough, girl guides, gravol, housecoat, parkade, pogey, poutine, seat sale, serviette, shit disturber, toboggan, toonie, tuque, and washroom.
According to Barber, shit disturbers are called “shit stirrers” in Britain and the United States. Personally, I prefer the broader Canadian term (there are more ways to disturb the shit than just stirring it, after all).
