When Talking In Canada: Some Slang For Immigrants To Learn

Canada has been one of the most popular countries for all people who really have been looking for a new place where they can be immigrants in. It is not really surprising because this country is surely one of the strongest ones in the world in terms of economy. It also has topnotch education which makes its citizens some of the best educated individuals in the world. And immigrants who have chosen to move to this beautiful country called Canada have had the opportunity to explore the wonderful nature that the country has kept preserved through the years.

 

It is a good thing that the locals of this country mostly speak English though French is also spoken in some areas of the country. However, just being able to speak English is already a good thing for immigrants as they can easily converse and communicate with the locals. However, it is also important to understand that there are some slang and lingo in Canada that immigrants need to learn.

 

To help potential immigrants and new immigrants in Canada, here are some of that slang that they can learn and use to communicate with the locals.

 

Kerfuffle

 

This slang actually is used to refer to some fuss or some commotion, which usually is because of two people who may have had a disagreement or may have had a difference in opinion.

 

Sandy saw two men in a kerfuffle after having a heated discussion on which hockey team is the best.

 

Stag/Stagette

 

Before a wedding, there is usually a party given to the bride-to-be and the groom-to-be. In Canada, this is known as the stag and the stagette. The stag is given for the groom-to-be and the stagette is given for the bride-to-be.

 

Stacey was not expecting a stagette because all of her friends had been pretty busy helping her prepare for the wedding. But she was really surprised when they did give her one.

 

Runners

 

Runners are actually used when referring to shoes made for running. They can also be used to refer to street shoes.

 

Kelly seemed to have her entire wardrobe in her car as she was able to quickly change into some runners when her friends told her that they were going to join an outdoor game.

 

Beauty

 

The term ‘beauty’ is actually not just an adjective when used in Canada. This is also used to mean that something has been done quite well. It is also used to mean a person who is really great.

 

For years, Amy didn’t think anything of her cousin until that day when her cousin did everything she could to help Amy when she was totally down. From that day onward, her cousin was a total beauty in Amy’s eyes.
