Any Canadian will instantly understand the following. Can you outlanders do so?

I took a Haligonian mandarin to the local Timmies for lunch. While reaching for a serviette, I knocked my double-double into his lap. He got angry and cut me off the pogey, and now I don't have a toonie to my name.

How 'bout this; I was watching Brent Butt (of Corner Gas) talking about doing stand up in America where he's talking to the audience about winter hats which he calls toques, of course. He say the yanks didn't understand and just thought he was making a weird noise "TOOOOOOK"

I laughed my ass off!

It's subjective.

In Atlantic Canada, it means you upset a civil servant and lost your means of support.

In Alberta, it means "here comes another welfare bum from down east to steal our jobs!"

In Ontario, it implies that other places in Canada have acquired the ability to heat water to the boiling point.

In Quebec, you're telling them that you do not value their culture, and are actively seeking to prevent them from achieving their destiny and taking their rightful place on the world stage, and are leaving them with no choice in the long run but becoming politically sovereign from you while retaining a "mutually-beneficial" economic association with you.

It's time to replace the roof, emphasis on long "oo" sound.

South of the border, it's pronounced more like ruff, isn't it?
