Vamprilla Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ok, so we just had a Canadian join the board and I have to tell a canadian joke! So no one thinks i'm dising, Ilove Canada! Ok, so France, Italy, and Spain were trying to think of a name to call the land they had found (Canada before it had a name). They couldn't agree on a name so they decided to draw letters out of a hat. The letters they drew out were as follows (in order):C-ehN-ehD-eh Anyone doesn't get it, ask. Any one else have any other jokes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I don't get it... or maybe i do, but don't think it funny... I think it's quite funny that when you pronounce "Canada" a bit stretched, it sounds like German for "Nobody there!" or "Nobody here?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamprilla Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 lol. Ok, Canadians say "eh" instead of "huh" or "what". "Eh" is in the place of every "A" in Canada because "eh" sounds close to"a". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's quite funny that when you pronounce "Canada" a bit stretched, it sounds like German for "Nobody there!" or "Nobody here?" C - ehN - ehD- eh sound that out and you spell canada : c-a-n-a-d-a (i.e. the "eh" is pronounced like the letter A). I think it was funny because I say "eh" in conversation all the time. I notice that UK men say "yeah" a lot, for example: "You have a good night, yeah." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamprilla Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 "Yeah" is in place of "alright" or "ok" for the Brits (who are also very cool). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Thanks Kourtney and Nat for the explanation! C - ehN - ehD- eh sound that out and you spell canada : c-a-n-a-d-a (i.e. the "eh" is pronounced like the letter A).I got that part before, didn't think it to be funny... Maybe i was just missing that part: I think it was funny because I say "eh" in conversation all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 As far as I know, "yeah" just means "yes", even here in England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compassionategirl Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 As far as I know, "yeah" just means "yes", even here in England SO when a UK guy says, "Have a great night, yeah." they are saying "have a great night, yes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats me, and I'm by no means British, but I use 'yeah' in place of 'ok' quite frequently.So if nothing else, it's a Megan thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say "Have a good night yeah" is a question. It means: "Have a good night, yes?" In other words "Have a good night, understand?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganmadre Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 interesting. i say yeah to mean a number of things. here's a list: uh huh, yeah - means, i am bored and sick of listening to you yeah, sure - means either you are dumb or lying or talking out of your ass oh yeah! - means yehsssssssssssssssah or wait! i have to tell you sumpin yeah yeah yeah - means, speed it up, buster yippee, yeah, yippee, yo - ok, so i don't really say that i say yeah to mean ok, alright and yes. i've never heard it as a stereotype specific to the UK. i say that it is probably erroneous generalization. just as many people here in the states say yeah to mean a variety of things.

compassionategirl Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 oops -- i didnt mean to suggest that the word "yeah" is UK. Obviously it means "yes" and is very much used in North America. It is just that I have never heard it used as the last word in a sentence like that: "You have a good day too, yeah." I use ya or yeah all the time in place of yes, but the way it was used above struck me as different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veggymeggy Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hahaha. I have to tell that to a couple of my friends. They have shitzu's. I hate those dogs. My family had a Shih Tzu for 14 years. His name was Hari Chin, and he died of a heart murmur on March 17, 1999. Middle of softball season. He was alive when I left home, died right after, and I didn't even find out until 12 hours later when I got home from my game. My parents didn't call to tell me because they didn't want it to affect my playing, because they knew I'd be devastated. Best dog ever. I've never known a dog that was so perceptive and always knew exactly what I was saying. Still miss him. Dirty from playing outside, and sitting under a plastic deck chair - the static electricity gave him a mohawk http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a209/veggymeggy/hari007.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compassionategirl Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 They have shitzu's. I hate those dogs. I cannot relate to a feeling of hatred for animals. They are all morally innoncent, and just want to live. I'm very sad that you feel that way vamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compassionategirl Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 - the static electricity gave him a mohawk http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a209/veggymeggy/hari007.jpg awwwww......the static electricity gave him a mohawk -- poor little guy . I hope you find comfort in your memories of him, like that pic. he looks like a mess a very lovable mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggymeggy Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Yeah - all that hair got a little out of hand sometimes. He was usually cleaned up pretty well, but he liked to have a good time, and that photo was definitely taken post-good time for Hari. He had a busy afternoon of killing his slipper.

Vamprilla Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 Oh for cry eye! I just don't like that breed of dog. Not the dogs themselves... Well, some. I love the Shih Tzu she ows. He's so sweet and funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
