As a truck driver I've known NL as the Rock for over fifty years....✌️♥️ from Herring choker

Breakfast, dinner and supper! Use it all the time! 🙂

From Ontario, drove twice, Part aux Basques to St. John’s, the rest of NL is quite different from the metropolis of St. John’s😊. With Particular differences in Port-Aux-Basques (French influence I’m guessing) and Tilting on Fogo Island(Irish fer sure). A bartender in a pub in St. John’s explained who they made fun of his accent and called him a bumpkin cause he was from a small fishing port. My observation of my travels is there is no NL accent, but many regional accents with some similarities

Love that you got in that your boss, Dwayne, was a prick😂

From Bell Island, we say both "Go lie down" and "Breakfast, Dinner, Supper". "Long may your big jib draw" comes from sailor vernacular. A jib is a sail, and it is basically saying "I hope your big sail is always full of wind". It's "Godspeed" or "Cold Iron".

So Irish, it's crazy how similar our little colloquial sayings are still 🥰

Hi Mark. I heard a professor from MUN explaining some terms Newfoundlanders use. One I remember is 'After' as you mentioned in your video. 'After' is Gaelic according to the good doctor of English. The words and pronunciations we (Newfoundlanders) use from the English, Scottish, Irish & French are still used there as well as here, which makes me wonder how can we even think of it as Newfoundland English? I enjoyed the video immensely. It was some nice. You clearly put a lot of work into it, so go on out-of-it now b'y and have a beer. I'll be up after.

One of my coworkers says “have’n a lunch now da once” meaning she’s going to have a snack soon. I’ve heard “god bless your Cotten socks” used almost sarcastically.

I have heard all of your "not said" list. I heard them in my childhood during the 70s & 80s. Some were said in central Newfoundland, in the Green Bay area. Others I heard said by my grandparents generation in either Port-Aux-Basques or in the Bay Robert's/Clark's Beach areas. 2-3 of them I here once in a while today, but not very often. They all were part of Newfoundland English, but are dying off in the present spoken version. Likewise, there is a really old word which USED to be said in Newfoundland before the 1970s, but is gone now. That is the word "bide". It was used as in, "You can bide with we." trans.: "You can stay with us." with the implied context of staying overnight and sleeping in their home. This USED to be said long, long ago in central and western Newfoundland. My parents once heard it said by an old couple in the late 60s, but I've never heard it said and I expect it was essentially extinct before I was born. "Yourn" is another such word. It basically means the same as "yours". "Is that yourn?" or "That be yourn." Again, it once was said but probably hasn't been used in over 50 years. "Be" or "Bes" is sometimes used instead of "is". "That be mine." or "I bes at Peter's house." It can also take the place of "will" as in "I be going over to Peter's house now da once." "Ye" as in "Ye fellers" or "What are ye at?" It specifically means the plural of "you" and is a non gender plural. This was common for me growing up in central Newfoundland. I don't hear it much in St. John's, unless it's someone visiting from an outport. "Scrob" is a light scratch, as in "the cat scrobbed me." There are so many more...

The Rock, a catch phrase used by OZFM back in the day.. that is where I first heard it..

Well done video

‘Dis video is Deadly Mark! Take care brother! Watching from “in on the Gander”!

Growing up in GFW, we used Breakfast, dinner and supper. Also I’ve been watching your videos now for awhile and I got to admit, the editing, and the quality has gotten so much better. That’s not to suggest it was bad at the start, it’s just improving so much. Keep it up my man. You’re doing a great job representing us and educating others. Look forward to the rest of the videos in the future.

Growing up in Kilbride, we used: Breakfast: morning meal. Dinner: mid-day meal. Supper: evening meal. The exception is when you were going out (especially to a fancy restaurant) for the evening meal, when we would say "Going out to dinner." That was a rarity and, frankly, sounded pretty posh! 😂

I grew up in Grand Falls.... never called it a verandah, always the bridge.

One of me Newfie friends who was wintering in Florida used the expression "Stay where yer at...(etc)" when I called and asked him for help one afternoon. Of course he's old like me, lol. I hope to visit The Rock some day. Great video!

I grew up in St. John's in the 1980s and 90s, and my family had breakfast, lunch, and supper, except for Sunday "dinner," which was a midday meal. My mother grew up in Nipper's Harbour in the 1950s and 60s. They had breakfast, dinner, and supper (or tea). Dinner, served at one in the afternoon, was the main meal of the day and the most formal. The word "lunch" was used, but it meant a snack (often a bedtime snack). I myself have heard people in Nipper's Harbour say, "Make up your lunch, me Dear," when encouraging someone to help themselves to a snack. I did some research on this years ago and found out that, in English-speaking cultures, traditionally, "dinner" was the main meal of the day, regardless of what time of day it was eaten.

i have heard where are you to- and I have heard whaddya at-I understand how that could become stay where you’re to b’ye- I’ll come where you @. it makes sense in Newfoundland even if its not said like that-its a phrase a newfoundlander would comprehend whilst a mainlander would not. patty daly is top shelf . miss vocm and the rock. love your videos

I really enjoyed that, Mark. Thank you. Very entertaining and well delivered. My wife and I will be visiting Newfoundland for a few weeks at the end of June/early July (originally from Sin Jaans LOL). I'll be attending the 50 year anniversary of my Memorial graduating class. The principal organizer is Robert Royle, nick-named Moses. I have a folder of sayings that my sister and I put together that my mother used to use and which she always prefaced with "As granny used to say...". Some are funny, a few a bit obscene, but all certainly worth a look. Would make a good topic for a KZfaq video if you're interested. Also, looking forward to going to Leo's for fish and chips while we're there. Would treat you to lunch if you're interested. God love ya, me old trout. 😊

Really enjoyed this video Mark! Back in the 70s when I had a summer job at MUN, I worked with a group of med students who were all from Newfoundland. Something I encountered almost continuously was adding "you" to the end of a question, e.g. "What's da matter you?" And, of course, other common things were to say "me" instead of "my" ("Me shoulder's buggin' me today"), and to preface statements about almost anything with "She's" - "She's some cold out there." I truly love Newfoundland accents and vernacular. I lived in St. John's for two months, and when I returned to Nova Scotia I still occasionally found myself reflexively saying things like "dis" and "dat", and "tings". I personally find that when I'm surrounded by strong regional accents and dialects, the hardest thing is NOT to use the same expressions and pronunciations that you hear from local people. My feeling is that it's a natural way of adapting one's language to blend in and feel a part of the culture. The most important thing is that if you're going to allow yourself to slip into the local dialect, avoid an exaggerated or caricaturist manner; show your respect and admiration for the local language.

I grew up with Stay will your to til I comes where your at. Oh and we always called it the Rock!

Most of these common in UK in various regional dialects

I say breakfast, dinner, supper. We also go lie down out of it or go lie down somewhere. I have heard the stay where you are to phrase, but I cannot remember where and when but not something I have heard often. God bless your cotton socks I have heard often as well as lard tunderin.

" Go lie down out of it," is a newfoundland saying my whole family has been saying that fer yrs now. were from Summerville, near princeton southern bay area in Bonavista Bay. Long May your jib draw is a old sailing term, when the old fishing men used sailing boats before the schooners were all converted into steam sailboats back in the day, and its means, " may the wind always be in your forward sails." btw I had two uncles who were Richard's and we called them uncle Dick, I also have a cousin who had the Name Richard and we all call him Dicky..we use to say that as well stay were you too till we comes were your at. As well. its was popular when I was a kid in Summerville that much I do know cause I remember it well. Always Breakfast Dinner Supper and on Sundays it was always Dinner when we were kids growing up!

Hey, Where I from, (Random Island, trinity bay) it's definitely breakfast, dinner, and supper. I hates when people calls supper dinner! It rots me lol.

From Nova Scotia, we says breakfast dinner and Supper.

People in grandfalls windsor still say 'Ye' for 'you'

Saw it on Reddit, but some places in the United States (mostly rural places in the south) also say Breakfast, Dinner, Supper. I think supper was the original dinner but dinner has taken its place somehow.

West coast here but grew up near Labrador. I can honestly say I've never heard a Newfoundlander call 'Newfie steak', bolonga. 😅 Interesting!

Breakfast, dinner and supper here. I grew on the west coast and used bridge for a step in the back yard or front yard that didn't have a wide area as would a deck. "Stay where you're at until I comes where your to" is something I or we would say as a way of saying "don't move, I am on my way to you". Mostly on phone calls. Collect calls back in the day by clicking and when caller ID came out they could call the phone back. That way we know if we leave the area they'd be looking more so we had to stay where we were lol. Not often, but if I was shopping with someone now that we have phones and we can't find each other in a Walmart as such, I know some will say this or similar. I think I've said it a lot in video games where I'd want to find someone else in the game. We didn't grow up with "now da once" near me. I never heard it until I was in my 30s. My friend from central said it and I thought it meant "right now"...but nope, "in a while". I was kind of flabbergasted at that. I say baloney but spell it balogna like the packaging, but sometimes I do switch it up a bit. We used the rock with others off the rock haha...so kind of just like I said it. "Who knit ya" would be something my grandmother would say, she's from witless bay, but I never heard of on the west coast. I'm in Bay Roberts now after being in Stephenville all my life and it is a lot different here. Skeet is used a lot, infact many people have taken on calling Stephenville - Skeetsville, etc. Pretty much slang that has a different meaning in different areas. Pretty much a newfoundland gangter wanna be to a thief, stoner, druggie, etc. I think streel/streal could have been added or fit. I heard that a lot. You look like a streel or he's having a fit. Bes is one I hear a lot since moving to the east coast. Even from the professionals lol. "I bes at it all the time". Pop used to say Lard Thunderin and "Me ol cock" or "Hello me ol cocky" and Nan used to say "God bless your cotton socks." So many fun and colourful things we say here. A lot of it changing though, especially in more modern areas.

Deadly is the main word for the young natives in my country

Never heard it either and I am from St. John’s myself

What about the word "snarl"? What a snarl we're in now!

My mother in law said Bridge and Store in the same sentence the other day (deck and shed)

Hi Mark, it's me, is that you? My dad used to say that and the jib drop one. Nan used to tell me to lie down under the stove 'til she got time to shoot me and you know I already call it the rock, sometimes the granite planet. I have heard the stay where you're to one, maybe it was a Joan Morrissey song. My brother worked with a guy from Hanover, Ontario, he called it Han'ver, the O was silent. It's not just Newfs that are weird.

My buddies mom says "stay where yer to till i come where yer at" shout out to Flo.

We had Breakfast, Lunch & Supper... Dinner was on Sundays. and who ever heard of a Jig's Supper? lol

UK.It's usually Breakfast, lunch,dinner.I think Supper always sounds posh .In some parts they say" Tea" for the evening meal.I think we in the UK would get the language quite quickly.😊

"God bless your cotton socks..." - is that similar to "bless your heart" used in the US South (kind of condescending)?

BC in my house it’s breakfast lunch and dinner / supper

Mark as a 1949 newfoundlander I love your education vlog of our province , I also was wondering if you spent time in america as I detect an accent in your voice ? or maybe it is just the soothing sound .

Breakfast, dinner, supper a lunch is something you have before you goes to bed😂

Breakfast,dinner supper .

Stay where yer at til I come where yer to

When my father would come home and there was a mess he would say “This place looks like a lobster factory”. Was that a Newfoundland saying.

I got a Bridge on my house.

You missed an important one... the shortest conversation in newfoundland vocabulary... Arn? Narn! I've used and heard this one many times as an avid fisherman.

I says breakfast dinner and supper. Also says go da bed out of it. Or godabedouttavit

My late husband always said ‘who knit ya’ when I would do or say something silly or stupid lol

I really enjoyed your video. In all my 75 years living here on the island I have never heard a Newfoundlander use long may your big jib draw. I think that was just made up for the tourists.

whaddyaat? b’ye i’se flat out

Breakfast, dinner and supper. How you gettin on me old trout?

hello sir , I want to come live in Newfoundland , can u help me with how to get a job contract or something like that in your next videos , it will be very helpful, I'm from Algeria by the way , thank you for your videos

Did you ever hear, "where did he come from, at all ? "

Your so damn handsome:)

Towns full of skeets now lol

I only hear mainlanders say lard tunderin when they think they are talking like a nflder as well

The Rock of the Rock. OZ FM. 🤷🏼‍♀️. But other than that, not really.
