That's funny!

There is a really interesting book:
https://www.amazon.com/American-Nat...d=1478963707&sr=8-1&keywords=american+nations

It shows that in some senses there are actually 11 distinct nations (or cultures) in N America. Your map puts the nations "Left Coast" and "Yankeedom" in the same culture as in the Canadian nations, which is actually quite close to the reality. Also, "Left Coast" is really an offshoot of "Yankeedom".

Now you have to say that in French too. Only say it politely, you are Canadian now after all. N'est pas?

No state in the union is going to give up federal funding.

On the other hand, when it comes to Damnyankeestan and Commiefornia, I know Canadians who when I suggested trade or just outright transfer of territory they said "Hell No, WE don't want 'em either!"

The only French I know is "menege a trois" (of course), "oui", and "parlez vou F-you".

The way they talk in the south. May be the reason America has NO official language.

Many of today's Public School graduates have to take ESL courses. This is because they never learn to articulate clearly. Oh, they speak the "valley girl" dialect quite fluently, but little else.

No matter what the Internet tells you, the word "like", in general syntax, is not used as a "verbal pause".

Thank you.

Yeah, we know that we are a special breed....

 

[Caveman Jim]

You know maybe I do realize that I have at least heard some kind of fancy foreign talk about a carp that meant something about "git some" somewhere afore...

This confirms it. I'm surrounded by eh holes!

I immigrated from Canada 31 tears ago when I realized:

1- That the phrase on most TV commercials was true (grossly understated, but true)..."Slightly higher in Canada".
2- The locals needed to be constantly reminded whose national anthem they were singing..."my home and native land".
3- Still have a Queen.

I don't know - some states put more into the federal coffers than they take out.

3- Still have a Queen.

So, would these secession malcontents change from protesting an American "monarchy" to protesting the actual Commonwealth monarchy?

I had ancestors that fought on both sides of the Revolution.
Once they fought each other in the same battle.
I can sing the words to both God Bless America *and*
God Save the Queen. Either way I'm honoring my forebears.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Becoming a Yuk-Canuck ain't gonna happen! Eh, you hosers!!!
Besides, official Canadian beer comes with a mouse in every bottle!

It is a win as far as beer goes, as we have some of the best craft breweries here in the PNW.
