My wife is from Ottawa...I understand more than you realise.

Try using words as "sove" (I really thought it was a word till last year)

I sove 10 dollars by not drinking coffee this week. (Saved)

Yes I laow (Laow meaning allow, which in turn becomes a sarcastic comment meaning NO)

 

[Mike Baker]

Sove is not a word? Well now......

 

[gaspasser]

I beleive the proper phonetic pronounciation would be...issat right?
Tis up there with a-boot.  As in.."what'd'y'at?" "Oot and aboot"
Also included is "yumpta"


:rofl:

 

[orange.paint]

oot and aboot is a Nova Scotia thin I believe.
However someone commented on my pronouniation of Tuesday a couple weeks ago.

"Chewsday".

I had another D/S sit in on my class to do a sort of AIT just to see what he thought and I sat in on his and done the same.
He dam near died when I got into talking I got excited.I guess I got my native tongue back in full bore (coleys point CBN language)
And asked a question.The poor Pakistani kid just looked at me like I had to heads.

To which I responded "What did I slip into spanish?" ;D

 

[Jacqueline]

Sove?   :rofl:

You know you're from the East Side when:    "nah by" means just joking.
                                                                 "rate"  means really. e.g: It's "rate" hot in here.

Anyone remember the sigh leading away from the airport in St Johns?

To TCH?


err.... anyone meet the welcome wagon in Carbonear ?

Nah, but I once needed directions on how to get to the base in St John's.  All I got was..."get off the boat...turn right at the third set of lights"...Little did I know that the third {now fourth} set of lights was a two day drive. 
The M/ dispatcher got this mainlander good on that one...he's from St. John's...pr*&K... :rofl:

 

[orange.paint]

After sitting through my wifes family reunion in Arnprior (shudder) and listening to everyones story of how they knew a Newfie and she was so nice.And then the Newfie jokes started.

Two things that will shut mainlanders up.It plays on their sloped foreheads (j/k)

How do you get a Newfie woman Pregnant?
You call us dumb.

Whats black and blue and floats in the harbour?
A mainlander telling too many Newfie jokes.

We were born with a uncanny ability to think on our feet.Usually enought to make em look like a fool.

Took me a while to remember that when my Mother-in-law asked me if I wanted some bakedapple pie she did not mean a pie made from apples but one made from the most sour berries I've ever tasted.  I got caught more times having to wince down a slice of bakedapple pie because I forgot. 

The other thing having to get your head around is the Inbound and Outbound road signs.

Them are bakeapples, also called Cloudberries some places. They taste great on some homemade bread with some Nestle Fussell's thick cream and sugar. Mmmmm

Lousy little sign just as you came out of the St John's airport just across the street from the Airport Holliday Inn....
TCH = Trans Canada Highway.......

So you'd hang a right and drive past the Prov legislature, past MUN and you'd he heading outa town towards the coast.

You mainlanders have short memories.

Have you all forgotten the war between Newfoundland and the mainlanders.

The mainlanders started the war by throwing dynamite at the Newfoundlanders.

The Newfoundlanders lit the dynamite and threw it back. ;D

You should also remember that most people from NS,NB and PEI are only Newfoundlanders who ran out of money on their way to Ontario. :
