35 things Canadians say that Americans don't understand
The holiday is essentially the Canadian version of America's Independence Day.
Except we're not actually independent. So it's technically a celebration of our confederation as a country within the British Empire in 1867.
So if you see a Canadian on Wednesday give them a high five.
Now, it's not always easy to spot a Canadian in the United States. For the most part, we sound pretty similar. We share a lot of values with Americans and can identify with the same cultural references.
But we do have our own vernacular, and there's a lot more to it than "eh's" and funny "abouts."
Here's a list of Canadian slang words and expressions that your average Americans would not recognize:
