I really do feel your pain but I do not sympathize with y'all.
I'm 40 years old and I have witnessed the complete destruction of the English language in my lifetime.
Thanks to the American hip hop culture and ghetto's, Canucks born in the great white north dress and talk like their from the Projects.
These bad azz, mo fo's think they're living in East L.A. and are trying to live their lives like Fiddy Cent.
Or what about that Valley girl "LIKE OH MY GOD LIKE A LIKE LIKE...." that almost every teenage Canadian girl has talked like for decades now? Just like the chick from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
While in the California area, what about the surfer talk that spread through the continent during the 80's and 90's? I guess no one thinks things are totally tubular anymore.
Or the internet lingo that people are verbally saying out loud? If I dig deep, I'm sure I could find a few more examples.
Sure, Diggers give me the dry heaves once in awhile but that's small in comparison to the pop culture that is ingrained in the average North American's head that causes me to full out vomit.
It's sad to see generations worshiping the Hollywood god.
So, in the only Canadian way I can think of, I would like to say to those guys on Diggers......
Take off eh! You bunch of hosers!
Cheers,
Dave.
