chimo

An Inuit word meaning "Are you friendly?" On the Artic tundra when two people met one would rub his chest and say "chimo". The reply was to rub your chest and repeat "chimo". It was also used as an exclusive Canadian greeting around the time of the Centennial.

Chimo eh. How's it going. Let's get some Kraft Dinner and play hockey eh?
