Only a few entries so far but I hope to expand in the
future. Suggestions welcomed.
Captain Canuck: Canada’s best known comic book superhero. His
adventures rarely last more than a few years at a time and sometimes last only
one issue.
Excuse me: Watch where you’re going, you stupid idiot. Used
interchangeably with pardon me and sorry.

see him as a clown while drooling over shirtless photos of him.
Liberal: slightly right of centre politically.
Pardon me: Watch where you’re going, you stupid idiot. Used
interchangeably with sorry and excuse me.
Poutine: a Canadian means of killing people with food even
faster than French fries do by themselves.
Sorry: Watch where you’re going, you stupid idiot. Used
interchangeably with pardon me and excuse me.
Superman: a superhero that many Canadians insist was created
entirely by Canadians, which is true of the artist (Joe Shuster was born in
Toronto) but the writer was born in Cleveland.
Tim Horton’s: a restaurant chain that people often buy
donuts from while complaining that the donuts aren’t as good as they used to be.
