okay so I've been living in Canada for a year -- (mountain time zone area) and I'm thinking about answering questions about what it's like as "the experience"
The suburbs are a tough place for me. And I'm willing to ask questions over a shitty internet connection from living in THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE

Has any Canadian colloquial language given you problems? Like "bathroom" vs "washroom" or "whole milk" vs "homo milk" etc.

Last october, my 12 year old cousin was having a birthday slumber party and her friends were over. I say bathroom ONE TIME and her friends are giving me dirty looks like *bitch it's washroom*Since I cant help but say soda even though everybody is saying "IT'S POP."
But I just leave that alone
However, this one time, I decided to ask my Murican friends (91 of them) if they knew what a smokie was. And only 7 out of 91 people (about 8%) knew that smokies were short, fat hot dogs. You're an expert at this stuff Michael. A real expert. .-. wait you call whole milk homo milk in canada, and if so why? Well i haven't heard anyone say whole or homo milk, but homo is pretty much a shorter version of saying homogenized milk.

Sorry you're getting hassled about the soda/pop; bathroom/washroom thing. I imagine they're just picking on you because you're American. I've been living in Canada most of my life and have been accepted as one of them, so I can say bathroom and zee with impunity.
