How Many Canadian Slang Words Do You Know?

I only got 17/20, there are clearly some regionalisms in there.

Q: How do you know when a Canadian has designed a multiple choice test?

A: There are four choices, and the second one is "all of the above"... :P

I didn't remember that, when i went back several of the questions had the choices come out in a different order from the first go around, it looks like a quirk of the Playbuzz site that the order of the choices is randomly moved around.

There was one that I disagreed with, and another couple that I thought could be answered more than one way.

Neither did I. I think it`s an Atlantic Canadian thing.

I actually knew 3 (bluenose, Habs, and brewski), but was able to guess 13 more correctly.

They either set a low bar for being a True Canadian, or (like any True Canadian) they're just being polite...

Another true Canadian here; I actually knew what a "tuque" was (my mother lived in La Tuque, Quebec when she was little, and we visited a few time when I was a kid). Most of my other correct answers were WAGs.

I knew 8 of the answers (really? I thought everyone knew what a toboggan is?) and the other 6 were split between educated guesses and WAGs.
