Canadian Slang

I heard a while back that Canadians have some weird slang. Do you Americans know any of these, or did you invent them?

Scrap: To fight someone
Cheddar: A sloppy pig like person
Wheel: To hit on someone, not to be dating, just to do date like things without dating (i.e.: making out, fingering? holding hands, sexting) a third wheel can be applied
Flow: to have greased back hair

anyone else have any?

How is that slang?


I've heard Americans say that too, furthermore the definition of wheel is not one I know. Wheeling a bitch just means you tryna fuck her tittayz.

A typical Canadian conversation:

So i was playing some puck (hockey) the other day and my flow (mullet) was looking sick then some tool started chirping (insulting) me so we scrapped (fought) and I wheeled (hooked up) his sister that night.

wheeling is definitely popular among highschool students now. And flow is just a joke word.

bahahah no you are wrong. flow is not a mullet

generally just long hair, relatively greasy, slicked back over your head. I believe the whole style originated from how hockey players with long hair would wear it back over their head when they ha their helmet on, and it makes it stay slicked back like that. Atleast thats what all the hockey heroes at my highschool would do.

I'm a Canadian and I've heard all of these except scrap I hear wheel (to make out with someone who your not dating) and flow (slicked back hair, usually worn with a hat) the most.

But Canadian hockey players use "flow" still as a term for mullets. Also another slang word is "beak" which means to chirp, one time in a hockey game I was playing a team from America and he called me a pussy so I was like, "Sick beaks" and he didn't know what it meant.

the slang differs a lot of west to central to east. Beaked and Chirped are definitely on there. Wheeled is too. If you are reaching something, you are attending said event. If you are gassed up or or gassin someone then you are blowing up there ego. If you are chapped you are pissed off. If you are underage and need alcohol you are lookin for a boot. You may own a packsack if you are from thunder bay instead of a knapsack or backpack, you may also be baked out of your tree. If you want to what up with someone you may say whats good or what'r you sayin. Flow is most definitely long slick backed hair. If something is perce it is advantageous for said individual. Oh man, you got a ride up to the mountain this weekend from your girlfriend. That is so perce. The list goes on

Rock Pile - In hockey we call the rookies rock piles cause they're as useless as a pile of rocks.

Twigs - What we call hockey sticks

Apple - Assist

Dangle - Puling a move and embarrassing the other team

Some hockey slang, not sure if it's universal or Canadian

For directional purposes

Randy= Right
Larry= Left

In context:
"Yea, take you're next Randy then it's your seconded Larry past the rink."

In saskachewan they call hoodies bunny-hugs.
No idea why but it makes it really hard to take a guy seriously when he needs to grab his bunny-hug before heading out.
