newfoundland slang

Unique slang occuring on the island of Newfoundland. Newfoundland is a large island off of the East Coast of Canada, and it is a part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The people living there have predominantly English and Irish roots, which, when mixed with the historic isolation, particularly that of outport communities, has resulted in a rather uniqe dialect. There are slang phrases used in Newfoundland which one is unlikely to find elsewhere.

"Cheryl found Cecil hard to understand because he often used Newfoundland slang."

Some examples of Slang:
"Yes b'y!" This is used as a response to indicate agreement, surprise, even disbelief depending on tone.

"What you goin' at?" Basically, this means "What are
you doing?"

"Right crooked" If someone is "right crooked," then they are very cranky.

Not urban slang

Usually posted by people who thnk it's "cleva" or "funneee" to create made-up phrases that nobody has ever heard of or ever used in real-life... probably because they have no friends and rarely leave their bedroom.

Me: Shut up, that's not urban slang
Loser: Who cares, I can write what I want
Me: Idiot. Go do something else. Like think. Thinking's good.

skanger

An Irish slang word to describe a specific group of people. Scarily, the connotations associated with describing someone as a skanger are almost identical to those associated with describing someone as a charva in Britain, despite the fact that these words refer to completely different groups of people in different countries.

In Ireland, they're called skangers, in Britain, charvas.

Truth-Slang

Truth in it's extremist lucidity usually sounds like nonsensical ramblings to the uninitiated. Truth-slang is usually accompanied by extreme drunkenness and is accessed intermittently, more or less so depending on if you are Mark E Smith or Art Garfunkle.

"Burn an' kill whatever ya like tramps will still memorise books init"

"Schopenhauer can blart on all he wants but nigga still pushed a bitch down the stairs, fallibility needs some skin here"

"I'm joking, but not really, but sort of am"

Observer- "Yo Joe! What was the name of that foundry that closed in the 60's"
Truth-Slanger "You see the real question here goes back to the American Civil War and the involvement in that of George Lucas, not so much as in he was in person 'there', but the ideas he uses in his films were apparent at that time and thus we can conclude he was there in spirit if you will. You see the same could be said for The Great Depression and how, in that time, people migrated with hope from the mid-west to California, which bears a striking resemblance when viewed with some objectivity, to the process of convection currents in a room in which air moves from areas of heat to cold as hot air expands and thus fills with more ease the space it has to occupy and is then forced with that overflowing of form in space to occupy a new space that would be cold. The heat in this case would be that of despair brought upon by economic strain. You see when I was a child....'
Observer- 'Fucker's got perspective'
