35 things Canadians say that Americans don’t understand

When they bump into you they say "soar-ree". Watch the real estate programs on HGTV - half of them are filmed in Canada. The way they say "house" and "oat and aboat" makes me chuckle.

Did not realize there was another way of pronouncing those words. How do Americans pronounce it?

Saw-ry. Out and about would be with a short "o", like "Ow!" when you hurt yourself. Kind of doing a phonetic spelling fail here.

No way you guys really have this on your shelves. Seriously if this is true I love it.

Homo milk: Homogenized milk, also known as whole milk. In Canada, it is very normal for a parent or spouse to ask you to pick up some homo milk on your way home.

I can't recall actually seeing it, but I'll have to check next time I go to the grocery store. I don't recognize that specific brand though as it's from British Columbia based on the package.

yeap. And worse, we have milk in plastic bags that you put in pitchers to pour. one four litre bag of homo milk contains 3 bags that fit pitchers.
