You forgot one...Candian's - Canucks...
::Sigh:: Yeah. I have an American friend who calls me Canuckle-head (
among other things that aren't fit to print ^_^ ) on a fairly regular
basis. Mad Mike, if you're listening, THPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPTH!!!! :p
^_^
And to add to this, I don't mind if Canuck is used by some people (I use it
myslef and I'm a Canadian..) but I really hate it when people apply the
sterotype to the term(Like we all drink bear,say eh, and like hockey...I'm
sorry but I don't say eh, can't afford to drink and dammit my hockey team
really suck's this year...)
I'm sorry, but I simply cannot get my mind around that 'drink bear' bit.
Besides, that stereotype is wrong. We're all exceptionally polite, and
can solve criminal cases by tasting gum we find on the street. Don't you
watch Due South? ^_^
