Book Synopsis Canadian Words & Sayings by : Bill Casselman
Download or read book Canadian Words & Sayings written by Bill Casselman. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new anthology, Bill Casselman delights and startles with word stories from every province and territory of Canada. Did you know that to deke out is a Canadian verb that began as hockey slang, short for 'to decoy an opponent.' That Canada has a fish that ignites? On our Pacific coast, the oolichan or candlefish is so full of oil it can be lighted at one end and used as a candle.Did you know that the very first Skid Row or Skid Road in Canada was in Vancouver at the end of the 19th century? The term originated because out-of-work loggers drank in cheap saloons at the end of a road used to skid logs. Skids were greased logs used to slide rough timber to a waterway or railhead. The juicy lore and tangy tales of Canadian foods that founded a nation are here too: from scrunchins to rubbaboo, from bangbelly to poutine, from Winnipeg jambusters to Nanaimo bars. This is the book on Canada's words and sayings that should be in every house in the the country where people are proud to say: "That's Canadian, eh."

Book Synopsis Canadian Sayings 3 by : Bill Casselman
Download or read book Canadian Sayings 3 written by Bill Casselman. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Casselman, Canada's master-gatherer of funny folk sayings, returns with fresh bounty--hundreds and hundreds of new folk sayings not collected in his previous two volumes of knee-slappers and girdle-splitters. Here are Canadian maxims galore, snappy saws and breezy national adages--enough to fill the barn of delight many times over. As always, Bill has divided these hilarious one-liners into dozens of categories redolent of human nature, categories like Stupidity, Sex Canadiana, Weather and Work. And Bill adds his own witty footnotes and explanations to those saying whose meanings may be lost in time. How about his apt squelch for a deeply annoying store clerk? "Miss, by standing behind the counter, you are depriving a village of their idiot." Bill Casselman writes about our words like no other Canadian--he is still being called "A Bluenose among schooners on the sea of popular etymology."
