An attempt to pass off incorrect usage or misspelling of a word or phrase as slang unique to
one's own region. Most frequently used when the two
people conversing do not live in close proximity to
one another.
"You're a real donkie, you know that,
Taylor?"
"Donkie? You mean, '
donkey'."
"No, I mean donkie. We say it all the time in Ontario, though I wouldn't expect you to know that."
"Mm. Well, Hannah is from Ontario and she's never used it before."
"Oh yeah? Hannah is from
Toronto. We only use it in Scarborough."
