aboat

How Canadians are mistakenly believed to pronounce "about." It is a common misconception ranking right up there with the idea that Canadians pronounce it "aboot." The vowel sound is actually a dipthong, beginning at the sound "e" as in "bed" and "get," then transitioning to "oo" as in "igloo," which Canadians do NOT live in. This linguistic phenomenon as well as the raising of the long i before voiceless consonants is known as Canadian raising. It should be called "Northern raising" because it also occurs in some places in the United States, such as Washington State.

Canadian: Dude, do you know what Canadian raising is.
American: No, I don't know aboat that. Hahaha, get it? aBOAT? Because that's what you say ahahahahaha! By the way, do you have TV in Canada? Internet? Do you ride polar bears?
Canadian: Evidently not... Oh, and I almost forgot, sorry!

This erection is about the people.

The Freudian slip that defines the election campaign of Herschel Walker proving head trauma is the ultimate truth serum.

“This election is about more than Herschel Walker. This erection is about the people.” — a direct quote from the candidate HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!

That's About All...Peace Out

YouTuber Styxhexenhammer666's signature phrase, which is said at the end of (pretty much) every video.

It's quite funny actually, That's about all...peace out.
