Two weeks ago I flew to Florida to bring back a car for my daughter gifted by her grandmother. While there for 1 day, we were invited to a celebration for Canada's 150th anniversary. One of the speakers told the gathering that the new people who haven't been to the U.S. before now that when they hear people talking about their garbage disposal in the sink, they are talking about their garburator. I had to laugh, never heard of it called that. Only in Canada? Or do people in the U.S. use that term? Living the Dream | ||

We have a brand called "Insinkerator", so garburator is not too far off. | |||

I have a lot of family in the Toronto area. They indeed call it a garburator. They also sell milk in bags and pronounce the letter z as a word, 'zed". As in "I really like that band, Zed Zed top". | |||

It wonder what's more popular, the two barrel or four barrel garburator? | |||

Yeah, that M14 video guy... |
The best telltale sign for me if someone is Canadian is the word "again". They pronounce the ai portion of the word like a long A. It sounds more like "there's been a gain in the stock market today".

Yep, my wife is Canadian and that’s what she calls it. Another one is serviette which is a napkin. I was told a napkin meant a feminine product. | |||
