Be careful cal, I hear some of those Canadians call themselves 'French'
Posted by Brock, 13:53, 19th February 2004:
 
And you'll have to start saying "I will be going to live there for aboot three months, eh?"

In a comedy Canadian way... ;)
Posted by tommorris, 14:34, 19th February 2004:
 
No, they call themselves "French-Canadian". It means that they speak English but with a really corny Eurotrash accent.
Posted by Abe Frohman, 15:30, 19th February 2004:
 
So they are not actually French, they just say they are. And this is better how?
Posted by Brock, 16:15, 19th February 2004:
 
So do they not actually stink and have great hairy armpits, just say that they do?

That'd be an odd thing to do...
