	OK--I'm Canadian and have never heard of half of these. Tuque and two-four are the only ones I can relate to. Maybe this is a western Canada quiz?

	I really hope this quiz was made by someone who wasn't actually Canadian... I'm from BC and we do not call plaid shirts dinner jackets. I know what a chesterfield is but more often then not just say couch, I'll give you hydro, parkade, and tuque. But what about two six, serviette, felt markers?

	hydro, tuque and two-four, yes. But everything else... no. Where exactly in Canada do they say these things? Because I've lived in Canada all my life and I've never heard most of these. One thing I forget is that Americans don't say "Washroom", so when I ask where the washroom is in the states, I get funny looks, until I remember "bathroom".

	I think these are regionally specific. The only ones that I'm not familiar with are gorby and BC dinner jacket. The rest of them I know and use.

	Only people in Saskatchewan call a hoodie a "bunny hug". And I'm assuming other ones like gorby and hork are also regionally specific...never heard them. I've always known "horking a loogie" to be spitting.

	I too tried "spit" for "hork" as that was the only way I've heard it used. I wouldn't equate a tuque (toque) to a beanie, either, though I'm not sure what I'd call one other than a woolly hat.
