Gotta love Quebec.

Just sound them out. They're just the French version of things like "S'up" or "whatchadoin'". You know?

But yeah, I'm living with somebody who says most of those at least once a day.

And this one "Quesse tu veux kshte dziz?" (what do you want me to say?)

#42 should be "datsitte datsall"


I love quebecois slang! No other language can claim the sound " sssssssts" as a super bad swear word!

LOL, im straight english living with a french man, northern Ontario has all that for slurred slang too!! LOL

Always wondered what they meant when they all said "pis" all the time.
C'est comme, "flambeanue"(stab in the dark with spelling there).
For weeks i tried to figure out what Flambambon meant!!

I have just enough French to get about 1/4 of them? But "side by each" is something I hear alot around here, along with "two times twice."

And the site manager where my husband works is Quebecois and some of his speeches come out rather picturesquely...like explaining the company picnic. Rendered into what the anglophones heard, his instructions were for workers to "bring your midget family only" to the event. The kicker was a co-worker turned to a friend near my husband and said worriedly "But I don't have any midgets in my family!"
