Darts

Cigarettes.

The Dep

Abbreviation of the word "depanneur." The Quebec version of a corner store or convenience store.

The word originates from the word "la panne" which means breakdown. A repairman is a "depanneur," so the corner store is kinda like the repairman for whatever problem you need a quick fix for.

Hungry? The dep can fix that. Ran out of darts or need a two-four? The dep can fix that, too. Ain't much a dep can't fix.

LCBO/LDB/NSLC/SAQ/LC

Canada has a weird relationship with booze. Every province works a little differently, with several provinces having some kind of provincially regulated Liquor Commission (LC).

There's the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) in BC, the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission (NSLC), and la Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ)... not to be confused with la SAAQ, which gives out drivers licenses.

So if you've ever heard someone saying they're going to the "Sack" or the "Lick-bo"... this is what they're talking about.

A coffee from Tim Horton's with two sugars and two creams. Can be made with milk, but you'd better ask... and, yes, we all know at least one person that gets triple-triples.

Two-Four

A twenty-four pack of beer.

Not to be confused with May 2-4, the May long weekend that celebrates the birthday of Queen Victoria... where you're definitely encouraged to crush a two-four.

Mickey

A 375 mL bottle of liquor, often shaped like a flask.

Pop

Soda.

True story: last time I went through airport security, I forgot I had a can of pop in my carry-on bag. When it got pulled aside, I realised what I had done.

"Sorry," I said, "I forgot I had a can of pop in there."
"A what?" asked the security agent.
"A soda."
"Oh, I thought you said a can of pot."

Which would have been fine. The pop? Not so much.

Freezies

In other countries, these childhood summer treats are called ice pops or freeze pops. Not to be confused with something on a stick, these icy treats come in those little plastic tubes that threaten to slice the corners of your mouth with every bite.

Donair

An East Coast post-bar delicacy, much like a shawarma pita but with a sickly-sweet garlic sauce.

If you order garlic dipping sauce with your pizza out East and you think you're getting a Pizza Pizza-like savoury garlic dip... you're not. You're getting donair sauce. You have been warned.

Jam-busters

Jelly-filled donuts or timbits.

Timbits

The original "donut hole," made by the famous Candian coffee house Tim Horton's (aka Timmies).

These suckers are a dream come true to little house league hockey players nationwide. Also, an elementary school birthday staple, where for whatever reason the person who is celebrating a birthday buys the donuts for the rest of the class...

Ketchup Chips

Not to be confused with British french fries and ketchup, these Lays classics are a Canadian staple found in nearly every dep or convenience store across the country. If you're a fan of all-dressed, you gotta try these.

People who spend most of their life at a hockey rink, whether they play hockey or not.

Puck Bunny

Girls who frequent a hockey rink, whether they play hockey or not.

Haligonian/Halifamous

Someone from Halifax. Otherwise, any Torontonian who studied at Dal and now considers themselves an honourary Haligonian.

Becoming Halifamous means the Halifax community at large knows who you are because you opened a coffee shop or a pizza shop (or both), but the rest of the country has no sweet clue who you are.

Mountie

A member of the RCMP, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Muni/The muni

The municipal government.

Loonie & Toonie

The actual official names for our one and two dollar coins. Loonie comes from the loon on the one-dollar coin. Toonie comes from... well, it's worth two bucks!

Bucks

Dollars. From Canada's history with the fur trade, if something was worth two bucks it literally meant you were trading two bucks.

The 6ix

Thanks to Drake, Toronto is known world-over as "The Six," though the origins of this reference are often debated. The most common assumption is that the number refers to the 6 boroughs that were amalgamated to create the City of Toronto.

Cowtown

The Peg

Winnipeg, known for their mosquitos.

British California

British Columbia, evidently the California of Canada.

Well, what'd I miss? I'd love to hear your obscure and bizarre Canadian slang words, as well as their origins. Hit me up on Twitter, @lvbs.
