You've never heard anyone say toque for real? So what do you call it...? Though I guess when I think about it, we prob just say "put on your hat" 90% of the time, but definitely toque if we need to specify the type of hat
i always mix him up with will forte and out of the two i always assume forte is canadian so every time i re-learn arnett is canadian i'm like huh... ok. didn't see that one coming but ok.
Where'd you grow up? I grew up in rural NW Ontario and I've heard every single one. I feel like large cities have less slang/less of an accent so when these videos come out people from Vancouver and Toronto are inevitably like "Canadians don't say eh! Canadians don't use these words." People seem to forget how big the country is and how regional slang can be.
The only one I'd argue with is "hoser" because nobody actually says that IRL as far as I'm aware.
I'm from Vancouver and I definitely say gong show, chirping, kerfuffle and toque, but I've never heard anyone actually say hoser out loud in my life (and I'm 37).
I'm American, and I thought the eh! thing was a fake stereotype and then I had a therapist who was Canadian, and she said it at least ten times a session.
