Haha I said a witty comment

[TechBoyJK]

So I've been hanging out with this Canadian chick a lot, and we were on our way out to dinner tonight and she had some weird shoes on.. they didn't look bad, but she was starting to explain them and I said 'yea.. so what's that shoe, a boot?'

but i accented it to sound like I was poking fun at her being canadian and it came off like "so what's that shoe about?" and the 'about' sounding canadian.. you know.. 'a boot'. It's funny because the shoe was kinda halfway a boot.

hahah.

Did you have to explain it to her?

 

[ElFenix]

nice shoes. wanna fuck?

would have been better.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Only one, and on the way to dinner? Should have saved that one instead of blowing your funny load one minute in.

 

[TechBoyJK]

Did you have to explain it to her?

haha no. she knew what I meant. she had brought up the canadian accent thing before and we talked about her saying 'aboot' already. So when I said it she gave me the evil eye. It was great!

Dude...if you think that was witty...well, in a battle of the wits, you're unarmed.

He can arm himself with surprise buttsex though which is better than his... wit.

 

[AstroManLuca]

lol, I was listening to the radio the other day and some guy from Canada said "oot and aboot"

Weird to hear a Canadian actually say that phrase, it's like a British person actually saying "pip pip cheerio."

Admit it, you only posted this so you could let everyone know that you were hanging out with a girl...b/c it's such a rare occurrence for you right?

 

[TechBoyJK]

her shoes kinda looked like boots.

so i said... what's the shoe? a boot?

but i phrased it to sound like a canadian saying 'whats the shoe about?"

That's probably why you never noticed it. It seems normal.

(Most) Americans say "about" in a way that rhymes with "gout" and "clout." Canadians say it more like "coot" or "toot." But they usually don't completely say it like that, they sort of go halfway between the two pronunciations. It probably isn't very noticeable if you're not used to hearing the American pronunciation all the time.

I've been to the United States of America many times and have family in Missouri and they do not sound any different than I do, aside form a slight Midwest accent.

Must be a backwoods, beaver trapper thing here or something.

Definitely more of a Central Canadian thing. I had a boss from Alberta and he would pronounce his "out" more like "oot." I occasionally find myself doing it; I guess he wore off on me.

Weird. I'll keep my ears open. I try to not to speak to anyone between Calgary and Toronto, but if I do I will try to get them to say it so I can hear them butcher the English language.
