maple fever

1. The uncontrollable urge to put maple syrup on everything, including coffee, breakfast cereal and bacon.

2. The feeling one gets when wanting to see the change of the colours of the maple trees in September and October, especially in Ontario and Quebec.

3. A non-Canadian obsessed with all things Canadian, including Kraft Dinner, poutine, hockey, Earls girls, bacon, “free healthcare”, kayaking, Timmy Ho’s, moose and polar bears.

4. A sexual obsession for Canadians felt by non-Canadians. First coined when Butters from South Park starts dating a Canadian girl.
Example 1:

Damn this maple fever! I’ll need to head to the the cabane à sucre (sugar shack) this afternoon to re-stock!

Example 2:
Wife: Honey, I would love to head up to Mont-Tremblant this weekend to see the fall leaves!
Husband: Sounds like you've got the maple fever! Hopefully we leave early enough to beat the traffic – I don’t like dealing with the obnoxious leafers from New York City!

Example 3:
American: I had this wonder trip up to Vancouver this weekend – they have Timbits, poutine, craft beer, mountains and a lovely area called Stanley Park…..
Friend: Buddy – stop with this maple fever nonsense! If you love it up there so much, why don’t you stay up there then?

Example 4:
American: I’m heading to the Calgary Stampede this weekend to see if I can score with a hottie Canadian chick!

Friend: Dude, that’ll be the third time you’ve been in as many years! You gotta find a nice local American girl to wean you off the maple fever!
