But of course—there's something quite adorable about the term. The University of Saskatchewan sells bunnyhugs with the name and definition on them. We've purchased a few for friends over the years.Wolter wrote: ↑26 Aug 2017, 1:59pmSo, do you call a hoodie a "bunnyhug"?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Aug 2017, 6:45amThere's always regionalisms, but they're usually semi-comprehensible. Soccer baseball makes no goddamned sense at all. How would that catch on when the more sensible term kickball was in circulation and free for use?revbob wrote: ↑26 Aug 2017, 6:35amI find it hard to believe. Although I can imagine my Canadian cousins saying that along with the other goofy things they used to say.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Aug 2017, 6:14amI have never ever ever never never ever heard it called anything but kickball. As far as I'm concerned central and eastern Canada has forfeited all legitimacy over this.
I've asked the board about pencil crayons before, mainly because I goofily thought it was a universal term. I don't think I've ever used the term poster board before; growing up, it was Bristol board. So I don't know the difference between the two.EDIT: the most annoying one for me (other than "pencil crayons") was learning half of Canada says poster board and half says Bristol board, because speaking as an artist, those are two different things.
Another regionalism that I don't think I've shared here. Not sure if it's across Canada, but in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, underwear is gotch or gitch (as in, "Don't get your gitch in a knot"), while in Alberta it's gonch. And a wedgie is a gotchie pull.
