maple syrup people

A reference to the strength and tenacity of Canadians, who appear meek and forgiving. In reality, when Canadians fight for a cause, they fight with intelligence and ferocity that overwhelms the enemy. This occurs in war, in business, and in politics.

Many of the war crimes in the Geneva Convention are based on actions of Canadians during World War I and II. They weren't war crimes at the time, and allowed Canada to win battles. They are now. Don't mess with the maple syrup people.

Common-Peopled

Verb- to be common-peopled is to go out with or date someone who is richer than you or from a more wealthy background than you. It is a reference to the Pulp song 'Common People' where Jarvis Cocker starts seeing a wealthy girl who wants to 'live like common people' and 'sleep with common people like you'.

She totally common-peopled me, her parents bought her a flat in Notting Hill.

Mate, you're gonna get common-peopled, she comes from Greece and studies sculpture at St Martins.
