Get the abootmug. A common American misconception about Canadians. I originally thought it was just our usual American idiocy when it comes to foreign accents, but you SHOULD give both Canadians and Americans a break.
Canadians say 'about,' but they pronounce the 'ou' like the 'oa' in boat. Hence, 'aboat.' The Canadians I know (Who are technically French-Canadians) say 'aboat.' When you think about it, they pronounce it more eloquently than we do.

Me: Say "Canadians don't say 'aboot', they say 'about'."
My Friend: Er, "Canadians don't say 'aboot', they say 'aboat.'"

Get the abootmug. Clever american..hmmm. If Canadians say something that sounds like aboot then fine. In Scotland people pronounce it like that. Anyway, Americans have destroyed the English language.

Get the abootmug. Common way a Canadian would say "a boat"--this can cause confusion for an American who would decipher it as "a boot" (as in cowboy).
American: "What the fuck is an ironclad?"
Canadian: "I don't know...aboot?"
American: "What? Like a shoe!"
Canadian: "No dumbass, like a yacht, a ship, a canoe, a bark, a schooner, a barge, a raft, a sloop, a cruiser..."
American: "Wha?"
Canadian: "Forget it."
Canadian: "I don't know...aboot?"
American: "What? Like a shoe!"
Canadian: "No dumbass, like a yacht, a ship, a canoe, a bark, a schooner, a barge, a raft, a sloop, a cruiser..."
American: "Wha?"
Canadian: "Forget it."

Get the oot and abootmug. A phrase replacing "no doubt about it" used when mocking Canadians. This phrase ironically is used mostly by Canadians mocking the stereotype. This is perhaps the reason why Canadians are mocked; creating a vicious cycle.
Bob: "That there snow sure is high, eh?"
Doug: "No doot aboot it, by. Soon there'll be too much to go ice fishing and seal clubbing, eh?"
