Fr though!

Hoser is kind of an oldschool thing and was never really well documented. That segment on SCTV, the Great White North, popularized it and defined it to an extent, and there is not really a consensus on the meaning. Give 'er isn't really slang, it's a phrase that is poorly pronounced, like how we don't really pronounce both Ts in Toronto (I often say more like Torana myself). Some things also just not everyone will know, even if it is common within their local region. That's common across most things. I never heard Canadian tux until I was in my '20s, even though I dressed in a Canadian tux for a lot of my life, and have never lived outside of Canada (or Ontario even). Never heard "nize it" before, and apparently it is specifically Toronto slang. I have lived in Toronto since the '90s. Hosers I only know because I love SCTV. Some things you only learn through very niche experiences, even if the usage can seem broad.

Give'r is a staple word in Alberta!

I'm from Canada BC to where about are you?

I’m in Vancouver and I hear hoser and giver’, Canadian tuxedo all the time (as well as toque and Mickey) But I’ve never heard “nize it” before.

Same in the USA. I was watching Lost in the Pond and Lawrence mentioned puppy chow which I only know to be dog food product manufactured by Purina but apparently in some places it’s a Chex mix snack. I would have declined if someone offered me some puppy chow to eat. 😂

@@anndeecosita3586 Ha, same here, I thought it was only dog food too. I could just imagine how insulted some women would be if they thought someone was asking if they wanted dog food.

"english isn't the only idiom spoken there" - do you mean language?

@@j2174 Maybe English is their second language. In Spanish and French "idioma"/"idiome" means a language, not just a saying, despite both languages also having "lengua"/"langue".

@@RandomNonsense1985 We do in fact get the word idiome from French, which is ultimately Greek. Langua/lengua come from lingua in Latin on the other hand. Rootword of idiome is something about privacy though, and in English it does refer to the private language of a culture. "Keep your sticks on the ice" means more to a Canadian or hockey player than to random English speakers from elsewhere, unless they were fans of the Red Green Show for some reason (although, then they are on the inside of Canadian culture).

Hi Callie 🇺🇲, i loved your video with Sydney 🇭🇲and Lauren 🇬🇧

@@henryqu19 Thank you! Hope I can do more with them in the future 🥰

Keep up, Callie! You doing great 👍

I love you callie

Tell Sydney she got the definition of hoser wrong. In hockey it's the losers job to hose down the ice at the end of the game so a hoser is a loser. The two guys she picked were characters called Bob and Doug Mckenzie ( Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) from the TV show SCTV which is also where the late great John Candy and others got their start, they were definitely a couple of hosers but not just because of the way they looked.

Had a great time with them ❤️ Thanks for watching!

Why Clare ? It's Lauren.

Maybe if you’re from Toronto, but I hear it in the country

@@DigitalTiger101 Really? What province? I've spent a lot of time working in rural areas and never heard one genuine hoser. I never heard one in my life honestly.

@@small_blue_bird small town Ontario, I'd say. Though I would say I've heard it used sarcastically more than anything. It's definitely not a super common word, but I have heard it.

It's not commonly used in central Canada, may a if your joking around and you even know about SCTV. Lots dont.

Yeah, the only time I ever heard anyone say hoser was when Bob And Doug were popular and they were impersonating them.

Uh, no. There are several different regional accents in Ontario, the GTA itself doesn't have one, nor is it influenced by Carribean or afro Canadians.

@@tiffaniterris2886 You obviously either don't live in the GTA or you're one of those uncultured Canadians who doesn't know their background and thinks they're 'just Canadian'.

@@tiffaniterris2886 Lol you obviously don't live here

@@tiffaniterris2886 Toronto slang is different it’s mixed with a bit of Caribbean and uk slang just like the comment originally stated most slang from drake songs are from Toronto which gets their slang from uk and Caribbean.. hence the nize it .. which means shut up , which is slang Toronto stole from the uk

lol even South Western and South Eastern Ontario are way different than GTA......don't lump us all in with those fucking goofs

Same, I've never heard it from anyone in my life.

Nize it is used more downtown and West end. I find where i am in Toronto i hear more UK/Carrbean slang

I never heard of Nize it either. But then again, I have never heard of Canadian Tuxedo either. And hozer I have only ever heard of in videos such as this one. So, who am I to talk?

It's used quite often in Toronto (where I'm from). It's only been around for less than a dozen years

@@histomuzik - Which makes it insignificant. They should have used donnybrook or skoden instead.

eh lmao

Like The Fonz.

When I was at basic, the first weekend out, one of the slightly underaged newfies asked me to buy him 2 cases of beer for his weekend celebrations. He was a little confused when I brought him 2x24 of beer back. He was expecting 2x12. I guess a case isn't the same everywhere. PS, I don't care, if you're old enough to take a bullet for your country you've earned all of the privileges of adulthood.

A nip's always been a sip of liquor to me, lived in BC for eighteen years. How far west does asking for a nip get you a hamburger?

It's not a bad look either.

Vermont is pretty close to Canada, being on the border. Lotta stuff goes back and forth, TV shows, radio, gossip, and of course people. Can't remember the numbers right now, but from some other YT show I was watching I saw that in early days after independence (or the Civil War, my memory has gone to shit) a lot of the immigrants into the New England states were from Canada. I know that into the 20th century this remained true, a lot of workers in textile and manufacturing plants were from Canada.

​@@Lowlandlord True, especially a lot of French-Canadians.

Same

SCTV actually, not SNL. Great White North was a segment in the show, about shows on a small TV show. They are connected to SNL through Second City (TV), which had a bunch of alumni on SNL, like Dan Ackroyd. Lotta clips and full episodes on YT here, well worth the watch!

@@Lowlandlord they've appeared on SNL and even on Letterman. So that's where I know them from. I've never watched SCTV.

@RBR they've appeared on SNL and even on Letterman. So that's where I know them from. I've never watched SCTV.

Dave Thomas.

They definitely appeared on SNL and Letterman after they became popular in the US. But the bit originated on SCTV in Canada. It was a throwaway skit that they came up with when the CBC network required two more minutes of Canadian Content as per government regulations. It was just supposed to be a time filler, but it became one of SCTV's most popular segments. It spawned a hit album and a feature film called Strange Brew. So "Take-off, eh?" As a polite Canadian I'm bound to say that I wasn't trying to be rude. "Take-off eh?" was their famous catch phrase. 😊🇨🇦🍁

Sydney is ... 😍🤯

Nize is Toronto slang

Yeah I'm from Manitoba, never heard it neither. Must be out east, like the bagged milk.

@@daniellysohirka5079 not out east, specifically Toronto/GTA. maybe it's in Ottawa too. But it's street slang inspired from either the Caribbean or London streets, I believe

@@DigitalTiger101 I’ve deff heard Ottawa mans say Nize it

@@DigitalTiger101 I've lived there my whole life and have never heard it.

@God It's not specifically slang, but then by that standard you could argue that toque and hoser are not slang words either but Canadian specific standard words. Slang would be like 'give'r' or 'nize it'. There is one theory that poutine (which actually refers to several different types of Canadian food, but by its own, is normally attributed to 'fries, gravy sauce, cheese curds' dish) is actually slang for 'mess'. Others attribute its origin to the English word 'pudding'.

@kowynnie it’s not slang, but other countries don’t know what it’s called .. other countries call poutine fries, cheese and gravy lol a lot of countries don’t even know what a toonie or a loonie is 😂 it’s Canadian words

Cuz Canada is HUGE (second biggest country in the world)

It is Jamaican slang used in some parts of Toronto, mostly people who are Jamaican (or of Jamaican descent) or the under 30 crowd.

@@fancynancy2888 Then it's Jamaican slang then.

I always thought it was a little hat with a propeller on it.

@@kenlompart9905 no. I don't think we have those in Canada.

I call every winter hat a toque, I've never used the word beanie. To each their own I guess.

A tuque is a knitted winter hat, a beanie is a fashion statement.

I'm in my '30s, have lived in the GTA since I was 12, Ontario my whole life, and I didn't get it. I have the olds :(

@@Lowlandlord Im gonna be very honest if you didn't spend a lot of time around black or brown communities you've probably never heard it

I've lived all 47 years my entire life in Toronto. I've never heard anyone say that. I also hang with loads of black, brown and coolie people never heard any of them say. it. It must be a younger slang

@@milkbone302006 I mean no offense but of course you haven't heard it, 10 years ago you and your circle were long out of highschool

@@hxpewxrld none taken. Yes we were long out of high school. But even with the younger cats I work with they never use that term.

Nope, I've never heard it in NL either

Apparently it's a Toronto slang only. I live in Ontario and can tell you Toronto has their own slang, that the rest of Ontario doesnt use or know about. I often see them on videos. I have read that the big influence of Toronto's modern slang was originally from Jamaican Canadian immigrants.

@@Nikki7B Jamaican and Somali immigrants have had a big impact on Toronto slang for sure. In the 90s and even 2000s, Toronto shared a lot of the same slang with the rest of the country but the 2010s and rise of social media has introduced a lot of Jamaican and Somali influenced slang to Toronto

@@histomuzik very interesting

We have those also, although I don't know what we call them. A Mickey is pop bottle sized and flat(easy to hide in your boot or sock)

And "donor", not "doner"

A lot of people in Southern Ontario say it. It is pretty recent, sort of like the last 10 years or so

@@histomuzik Ah! I'm in Eastern Ontario. I'm either too old or too far East to have heard it. ;-)

I’m from Vancouver and everyone around me always says toque. Never heard anyone calling it a hat unless it’s a summer hat

Never heard that one, and I live just outside of the big smoke. Must be a generational thing.

@@va3ngc marved means hungry. its definitely generational. A lot of people born in the early/mid 80s or before won't be able to keep up with the new slang. I'm a mid 90s born myself and I can't keep up with all of it myself

@@histomuzik lol I know the feeling. I was born in the mid 80s

@@histomuzik I guessed that one as it must be based on the Cockney rhyming slang ‘Hank Marvin’ = ‘starving’. Can’t say I’ve actually heard ‘marved’ said (and I’m English) but I’d be surprised if it didn’t go from MLE (Multicultural London English) to MTE (Multicultural Toronto English) probably mainly because of rap music.

Nope, I've lived in Toronto my whole life and have never heard it.

@@kenlompart9905 do you have any non-white friends? not trying to be rude btw. It is a widely used by Caribbeans, Africans, Filipinos, and other big minority groups in Toronto

@@histomuzik - So in other words it's a slang not used by Canadians, nor many people, and so it's relevant for this kind of video.

@@tiffaniterris2886 no they are still Canadian. Just with different ethnic backgrounds.

@@tiffaniterris2886 nice try you clown. Have you seen the soccer team lately or the basketball team very revelant we just not from the same canada.

"Beanie" is fairly recent. Prior to that it was just "knit cap" or sometimes "watch cap." (The latter being a Naval term.) If it had the pom-pom on the crown it was sometimes called a "bobble-hat." Usually for babies or children.
