    as an Irish person, I understood everything... it's crazy how similar our accents are :O

    • @aerialpunk

      That's funny, cos whenever someone asks me what a Newfie accent's like, I tell them it's like talking to a drunk, slack-jawed Irishman :P

      It's very true.
      Because most of us are of Irish decent.
      I was talking to my father one day on the phone in front of these two ladies in Alberta,and I heard one of them say"are they even speaking English or gaielic?" 🤣

    The best directions somebody told me they heard once was: "Turn left where the barn used to be."

    • @Nimasho2go
      @Nimasho2go Před 7 lety +2

      Hahaha! That's great. I can see my grandfather using that one. I'd say the barn used to be a major fixture for years, so the person giving directions just remembered it as a major landmark and didn't realize that the person getting directions wouldn't have known it even existed.

    Go Shaun!! Watched him on the Candian documentary the Next Big Thing. It's about the struggles of young Canadian comics and Shaun was the only one to succeed and make it to Hollywood (his big dream). What was cool was that he almost quit. Became so disenchanted with it all but he stayed with it and now he's a TV and Film star. Good For You, Shaun!!

      @jessicagifford2871 Před 7 lety +5

      We're great at tellin stories bhy sure one of me friends from Toronto loves talkin to me she'll ask like "how was your day" or somethin like that and man you can see her face light up because I goes on in details and she smiles from ear to ear. Here's somethin how it went today;
      Like today was a good day cause second period I had a presentation in English or career development (I'm in French immersion so fuckin everything's in French) and it was a nice break, but half of us was answering back in French 😂😂 then me and me friends went to Tims for lunch and we had our iced Capps and coffe and by the fuckin traffic was unreal like Hannah was tryna pull out of the parkin lot for around 10 minutes and we were all pissin ourselves laughing cause she was getting mad and of course we were yelling at her "go now sure!! Lin you coulda went then!!" And when we got back on the school parking lot we were jammin out to the radio and honking at our friends across from us. Then it got bad cause it turns out I can't work at stabarama cause I'm 2 months and 4 days younger than I should be which really pisses me off and of course the manager had to call during class so I was complaining to mudder in the middle of the hall and a teacher looked at me and was a bit confused but man I was so fucking mad because he took his sweet time telling me that I can't work there. But then I remembered I was supposed to babysit after school for my aunt so I was all good again. Until my cousin started being a fuckin prick and decided to make fun of me again so I told en off (again) and I ended up getting so mad I started crying and I swear to Jesus if he looks at me wrong tomorrow I'll give en a good punch in the face. Anyways enough about me, how's you been, bet it ain't 4 degrees out like it is here but bhy the trees are some nice, here luh. *sends pic of trees* man I spose its good here though, there haven't been anything major goin on expect ME NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK NOW LIKE TOOK EN LONG ENOUGH TO TELL ME. HE TOOK ABOUT A WEEK SURE HE COULDA TOLD ME THIS ABOUT TREE (three) DAYS AGO SO I WOULDNT HAVE TOLD SO MANY OF ME FAMILY THAT I GOT A FUCKIN JOB. lol sorry got off topic a bit anywaysss.
