I got 8. Out of 20. I think a monkey could've done better than me.

I guessed at all but 3 and got 13 right. How the hell that happened, I don't know. I do know that if I didn't get the Habs correct, I have no business living where I do. The B's have a practice rink down the street.  |

Eight, lots of guesses. I think our Canadian posters have failed in my education.   I know about Tim Hortons, but not the slang. I know about poutine but not about interesting desserts. 
Someone needs to share the good stuff.  |

LOL I thought everyone knew these sayings. Well except the 3 I missed and one of those was just cause all the choices were too close.

I got 10 right, thanks to finding 2 answers here. They liked to toss poutine in as an option a lot. Guess they think that's the only Canadian thing everyone has heard of? |

18/20. My boss is Canadian and I've pick up quite a bit of knowledge over the years. He finally stopped referring to me as " Her Nibs" realizing that it didn't translate well.

I got 8/20. Some of them I thought they would be something totally random, not actually making sense (like eavestrough - I thought it was a gutter, then I thought, no, it's probably something really weird even though that would be a perfect name for a gutter ). |

8 right, never even been to Canada. I get the disbelief at thinking something was standard everywhere... I never had any doubt as a kid that "wicked" could be used as a synonym for "very" anywhere, or that when I said "draw" that was the correct way to say/write the spot you keep your underwear and socks. |

Ooops . . . 4 out of 20.
