Thank you! [Takes victory lap.] I’m a little surprised I won since it’s been a long time since I was in the Great White North.

Also, for the record, my SDMB handle has nothing to do with the also-ran Canadian political party.

At least you didn’t go with my answer: Le Car.

It was honestly the first answer that I thought of. Depiste that, I contend that it is probably the worst serious answer used in a fued ever.

Thanks!

Funny how “bonjour” is the #1 answer yet you really don’t hear it that often outside of classroom. “Allo?” or “Salut!” are much more commonly used in Quebec.  
Of course “Oui” is pronounced more like WAA  
I hear “Tabernac” (TA-BARN-NACK) or Tabarouette (TA-BAR-oo-WET) alot as well as my personal favorite “Shit La Merde!”
