Dobers

Dobers (noun) /ˈdoʊ.bərz/

Canadian slang term used to express a range of responses such as "no," "maybe," and "for sure," depending on context and intonation. "dobers" is likely a blend of French and English influences, and mainly used in bilingual provinces (NB/QC/ON). Depending on the intonation used and how it's placed in a sentence, it can have different meanings, so naturally it usually takes a while for newcomers to get used to its usage.

"Do you think it will snow tomorrow?"
"Dobers, it’s hard to tell with the weather these days." (Maybe)

"Did you like the concert last night?"
"Dobers, it was amazing!" (For sure)

Los Doyers 

A common nickname for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jokingly caught on because of the huge percentage of Mexican American fans. A purposeful mispronunciation which now appears on t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and jackets. At any given game a huge portion of the audience is Mexican American or Latino.

Vamonos! Today is free blanket day. Let's go to the stadium and see Los Doyers play. I have free tickets!

Doberge cake 

A staple New Orleanian confection. Decadently sweet, and overwhelmingly rich, doberge usually has 6 or 7 thin alternating layers of cake and pudding (though some use buttercream), and is topped with a glaze. The most popular flavors are lemon and chocolate, and it is often served as a mix between the two. The doberge cake was invented by Beulah Ledner in 1933 as a modification of the Hungarian "Dobos torte," but the most famous New Orleanian rendition of this desert has been made by Gambino's bakery since 1946.

He's from so far outa town that he doesn't even eat doberge cake.
