I love that some of the newfie slang that was mentioned here seemed unknown to Keeso, and it managed to make it into a later episode when the hockey team had to play the Newfies.
I'm from the U.S. South, and it's nuts to me how comfortable I feel with this slang. It's not the same words, but the slang is formed in the same way, with the same rhythm and cadence. Reminds me of home. I live in California now, and nothing here has ever felt as natural and "homey" to me as the conversation I just witnessed. Love this show.
The opening of the first show had me hooked. "How many times you pull your horn today, bud?" "Awe, he's bashful." "Don't worry, Kitten. We won't tell anyone."
As American, I'd say these Canadian guys are as fun as hell... Like the cool cousin you didn't even know you had until you got drunk with him at Thanksgiving.
Nah the toughest man fights the other sides toughest man, and the actual toughest guy's dudes just pick up the straggler suckers son. You don't need suckers in a tough man fight. But anything is fair game at a bush party
Yeah I didn't really know what I was watching at first, just that I wanted to see more. I'm halfway through season 5 now. Fortunately, the re-watchability of it is fantastic.
As someone from Ireland (actually from a town called Letterkenny in Donegal also) hearing someone use 'Donnybrook' at the other side of the world is fascinating. I believe the term originally came from a rowdy fair that used to take place in Donnybrook, Dublin. I understand that the term is now uncapitalised in the dictionary but it still amazes me how people use it.
Rob Evans Ricky Julian and bubs need there help and when a man asks for help, you help him. Corey and Trevor would have their birds up for katy. Would be hilarious.
That has to be my favourite as well. This happened to my dad when we moved to Calgary (originally from Regina). He would be doing business with someone and say, "oh hey I recognize your last name, do you happen to be so-in-so's relative." He seemed to know everyone from small town Saskatchewan.
yeah, West Michigan is 'bout the same. They say you can connect anyone on the planet in 7 steps. It's at most 3 for West Michigan Dutch! We call it playing Dutch Bingo
It's awesome to see how much Jared appreciates learning new local dialect. He even went onto incorporate a lot of Newfie slang mentioned here in the later seasons against the Newfie team, like "knows" and "all hands".

Hello from a high school Canadian Studies teacher. Schitt's Creek wasn't on my students' radar and THAT English Canadian show won at least one Emmy. So Letterkenny is not even a thing. And yet I feel compelled to use this interview in class along with some inconvenient truths about English-Canadian culture: 1. Newfoundland English predates "Canada" by 300+ years. 2. American English predates "Canada" by 200+ years. 3. Newfoundland English is a blend of British languages, dialects and variants brought by colonizers and concentrated on a large, isolated rocky island. 4. American English is a mess of British languages, dialects and variants brought by colonizers and spread over a broad continent. 5. American English speakers have been migrating north since 1760, propelled by war, re-colonization, more war, genocide and more wars. Language migration without settlement began with The Old Farmer's Almanac and continues today via every media platform. 6. Newfoundland English speakers have been migrating west since 1950, propelled by poverty and global overfishing. Language migration without settlement began in 1969 with "Going Down the Road", followed by Stompin' Tom, CODCO, Great Big Sea, and "Republic of Doyle", and continues to this day with "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" and "Come from Away". 7. The similarities of rural (North) American English have survived centuries of standardization by colonial authorities up until the present day. And thank the thundering Lord Jesus for that, boy.

The Letterkenny slang was GREAT - brought back a lot of memories, being born and raised in Detroit and playing hockey. My kids turned me on to it - Congratulations Jared!
Thomas Willard that’s like how it is in ST. Louis MO in the states😂 when you meet someone from STL, the first question is typically “Oh, where did you go to high school?”
“Pert near” is also Southern U.S. slang. Growing up in Tennessee I heard it all the time, i.e. “He live up your way?” “Pert near!” Also see: Over yonder.
I always just heard variants of "damn near" where I'm from. Semi rural NC. "Dang near broke my arm fourwheelin' the other day" "Darn near had a heart attack when my jeep rolled"
@@LauraRossflyswatter Yep. 'I reckon' was also a big one. Funny how much of Southern/Appalachian English is so closely tied to the early English/Scottish settlers, i.e. 'breeches' became 'britches.' I've heard my grandmother (Tennessee-born) use the word 'dunning,' which is old English and which means money owed to someone, as well as using the word 'receipt' instead of 'recipe.'
going through for the second time and better than the first. you know what to expect and you appreciate the rhythm of the dialogue. it is the best written comedy show on the air. i can only hope for at least one more season.
My wife and I have gone through this series about 4 times now on Hulu in the last 5 months, and we’re slowly but surely getting down the hockey language boys. Getting the verbiage in buddy. It really really helps to have the captions on for some of the fast talking. Plus, when Shoresy speaks, we can’t hear anything bc we’re laughing our balls off.
It amazes me with the fact I'm australian but I have never had a problem understanding the Canadian slang in letterkenny.. watching this just confirmed that for me lol
Same. I think it’s because if you hang out with the right people different hilarious slang terms are being thrown around so often that we have to infer what is meant by context. Which is what I found I do with Letterkenny. Great show
As a truck driver myself it's funny to hear them use the phrase "good buddy" on the show because on the CB radio "good buddy" is how you call someone homosexual.
I'm from deep Southwestern Ontario and I have friends and family in Michigan. Explaining the jokes in Letterkenny never gets old. I don't watch the show so I get sent clips and asked what things mean. The best parts are when they didn't catch a joke that I did and then I have to explain why I'm laughing so hard. Trying to explain Ontario's rivalry with Alberta or Québec is especially hilarious!
One side of my family has been born and raised in Tennessee for generations and the one that really gets me is "Gwon" as in "Gwon child, Gwon inner and gecha sum supper"
From Upstate NY here. My bandmates and I were using "pert near" 20 years ago. Also "yacht" instead of yeah. As in "That's a yacht!" (Affirmative) 😄 I miss those days
I loved this, especially "Pert Near" because I thought it was a southern thing (I'm American) but hearing that it's a regional thing for Canadians as well was really cool to find out.
If "Slapshot" is the benchmark or Holy Grail of hockey/sports comedies then Letterkenny has raised the bar to a new standard. Any fan of hockey will relate and enjoy this series and the talented men and women who star in and produce it. Let's hope this show stays on the air indefinitely. Oddly enough I just watched The Gordie Howe story on DVD last week and guess who played Mark and Marty Howe? Would you believe the guys who portray Riley and Jonesy in Letterkenny? Obviously they have great acting chemistry and were a wise choice for this series. Every actor/actress were born to play these roles. Keep the laughs coming and you all deserve a big payday!
This was an *awesome* interview. Finally putting the time into Letterkenny and absolutely loving it. Couldn't have asked for more fun from the interviewer.
Why thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words! Tom and the producers worked extra hard on this interview to make something fun and insightful.
My grandmother, pure central Pennsylvanian, used this phrase as well! And most of our family. And many in the older generations around here. Interesting!
Love letterkenny even though I’m a Londoner and had to guess at most of these. The language inventiveness is amazing in that show. Wish it would be easy to watch in Europe, we love Canadians over here! (Who doesn’t?)
My friends & I love Letterkenny!! For me personally, I grew up in the farming area of Michigan back in the 80s & so much of this show reminds me of home, i love it! Miss the North & Canadian neighbors
Minnesota here, y’know that state pert near Canada? We say it too. Iowegians* are just borrowing it. * lived in Des Moines 3 years, right behind the airport. So yeah, I can bag on ya.
I notice a lot of people online complain that they can't understand the accent in the show, but somehow as an Alaskan it sounds totally normal to me. But the lingo is often lost on me unless in very specific context, so thank you very much for this video! Btw, the town I live in has about the same population.. Letterkenny reminds me of it sooooo much, we've even got the crackhead goths. Cracks me up so much.
A Texas-sized 10-4 is trucker slang for "I understand" or "I copy" like he says, but there's more to it. Most often, truckers will say "That's a big 10-4" meaning they absolutely understand. Texas is a big state, and the unofficial motto there is "Everything is bigger in Texas." So a Texas-sized 10-4 means a fuck-off huge 10-4.
Shoresy is my favorite show in a LONG time. Letterkenny is excellent, but shoresy is another level. The characters, the music, the writing, the plot... It's absolutely amazing.
Ha. My family used it hear in Oregon growing up. And I still use it. The funniest part to me is I knew all the slang terms😂 Canada no different then us🇺🇸🇨🇦🥳
yeah, the farm country culture through these areas don't have a border so much. Similar immigrant sources ( lots a German n' Dutch protestant) slang, lifestyles and outlooks. My Dutch/German in laws are farm stock, and use lots of these. Do you call a creek a crick and add 't' to some words like across and chef?
2 shows I can’t get enough of are Canadian....Letterkenny, and Trailer Park Boys. Both great shows, nice to see Jonathan torrens of TPB in a couple episodes of Letterkenny.
ya ever notice.. after watching too much Letterkenny ya can't help but ramble n rhyme out random ridiculous nonsense? I swear that show's got such a draw. Real draw. Even had muh bud just see one episode n fore ya know he's talkin "Ya ever notice howw..." ..but to be fair~
"Nappy is *short* for nap." Yous been smokin pot, haven't ya? Cuz that's exactly the type a thing someone who just smoked pot might say. Lmao. Love ya, Keeso!
"Pert near" has been said on the southern United States forever so rather than me saying that we started it I'm just gonna say that folks up there in what I'm guessing is a certain area of Canada and is southern folks have a lot in common. Lol I guess that's why I enjoy Letterkenny so much. Great shit.
It's funny Jared said 'Pert Near' is a regional dialect to his area of Ontario. I grew up saying that in Oklahoma and it's a pretty common Southern thing to say.
Honestly all over mid to southern USA I imagine it’s used by almost everyone. Even on the west coast I hear people use it, as well as plum near or plum tired. It’s just not as common.
I'm glad the interviewer said it - "This is the most Canadian thing." The guy's name is Danny f****** Bridger and of course you all know him, insofar as to know he's writing in Montreal. ♡
Pert near is also part of rural Southern US slang. This is why I love the show - I can intuit a lot of what they’re saying from growing up in the rural South.
Jared breaks down Letterkenny slangs, and that's what I appreciates about him.
oh that’s what you appreciates about him

How're you now?
A boy I'm Canadian and I could speak English in front of you to my friend and you wouldn't know a word I was saying.
"pert near" is a colloquialism that is alive and well here in Southern Appalachia. Love Letterkenny!

@@JCM3x3 Heard this one a lot growing up in the Wv hills.

Omg that is exactly what I was thinking
“Nice onsie does it come in men’s?” “Oh I think you come in men’s enough for all of us.”

"How many times you pull your horn today, bud?"

Took a few episodes to warm up to the show but can't get enough now.
Same. I'm hooked.
Yeah I didn't really know what I was watching at first, just that I wanted to see more. I'm halfway through season 5 now. Fortunately, the re-watchability of it is fantastic.
Same here, at first I was thinking too foreign, but I was hooked after a couple episodes
Faccts
Literally had to get up to speed the first season. I'm not sure if they purposely slowed the dialog for season 2 or if I just caught on.
The best slang is “spare parts”.
That is not slang, it is an insult.
I prefer "You're so 5-11"

“Pert near” is also Southern U.S. slang. Growing up in Tennessee I heard it all the time, i.e. “He live up your way?” “Pert near!”

Minnesota here, y’know that state pert near Canada? We say it too. Iowegians* are just borrowing it.
* lived in Des Moines 3 years, right behind the airport. So yeah, I can bag on ya.
Yeah, Canadians say that now because of American television. Seriously, that's where we got it from.
I think "pert near" may be more common than some may realize. I'm on the southern shore of Lake Ontario and I've used it.
We say it in many rural parts of the states as well...
Used over here in Kansas
I think this just country boy slang boys. Don't matter what country were from haha.
I've been from BC to Alberta and from northern Kentucky to rural Kansas and have never heard it used.
DonQuixote109 I am in Louisiana... extreme southern US and I hear it used here frequently.
I notice a lot of people online complain that they can't understand the accent in the show, but somehow as an Alaskan it sounds totally normal to me. But the lingo is often lost on me unless in very specific context, so thank you very much for this video!
Btw, the town I live in has about the same population.. Letterkenny reminds me of it sooooo much, we've even got the crackhead goths. Cracks me up so much.
A Texas-sized 10-4 is trucker slang for "I understand" or "I copy" like he says, but there's more to it.
Most often, truckers will say "That's a big 10-4" meaning they absolutely understand. Texas is a big state, and the unofficial motto there is "Everything is bigger in Texas."
So a Texas-sized 10-4 means a fuck-off huge 10-4.
lol
Thank you so much for enlightening us.
Wow just wow
@@wgooetrik this so much this
"Peart near" is also used in the southern united states . So glad I stumbled upon Letterkenny one day on hulu. Great show.
Shoresy is my favorite show in a LONG time. Letterkenny is excellent, but shoresy is another level.
The characters, the music, the writing, the plot... It's absolutely amazing.
Living in Maine most of these terms are used and I love it. Especially up in the northern end
Caribou here!
I’m from Windsor/Palermo. Small world!
I’ve heard pitter patter here and there
"Purt near" is pure Appalachian hillbilly.
Robert Engler i was just about to say this!! 😂
Yes sir. "Plum near" is another we'ens use. "Pert near" is just a lil bit closer.
I’ve heard Pert Near all my life in Texas/Oklahoma. It’s just a southern thing.
I always heard it "pert night" or possibly "pert nigh it".
Yeah, it’s not just Ontario. I grew up in Alaska and often heard “purt near.”
Growing up in rural Virginia, "pert near" was pretty common.
Georgia too, heard it all my life
It’s so amazing Jared put a lot of the newfie slang into the show after that
I have watched this video a 100 times. Every time I see it I’ll watch it. Keeso fan for life.
I grew up with the Keeso’s, real happy to see Jared doing his thing! Keep up the good work bro!!
We use “Pert Near” in Lewis County, Kentucky where I’m from. My area was a heavily Irish based settlement area.
Ha. My family used it hear in Oregon growing up. And I still use it. The funniest part to me is I knew all the slang terms😂 Canada no different then us🇺🇸🇨🇦🥳
We say pert near here in Michigan as well. loving the show!
Same northern Wisco
Michigan we damn sure do.. lol.
I just learned about Letterkenny two weeks ago its the best series in decades
What you are seeing here is the evolution of the language being discussed, and I love it.
Some of these are common in Australia too: "Sook", Sandos", Praccy"
I grew up in Southern Illinois and we say pertinear all the time.
Must be secretly Canadian lol
no canadians are the ones americanized from cloths to slang to accent the show is more like western american stiyle
Jeff Williams My husband grew up in Montana and he and his family all say it too :-D
Jeff Williams I say pert near here in Missouri too
yeah, the farm country culture through these areas don't have a border so much. Similar immigrant sources ( lots a German n' Dutch protestant) slang, lifestyles and outlooks. My Dutch/German in laws are farm stock, and use lots of these. Do you call a creek a crick and add 't' to some words like across and chef?
I've been hearing "One Hundo P" in Alberta
rtql8d we have said that in Maine for so long hahaha
Where I'm from, a hundo is a hundred dollars, e.g. a "crisp hundo" is a fresh hundred dollar bill
@@littlesnowflakepunk855 you don't say..
We use Pert Near in the midwest almost every day!
As a fan of Letterkenny, this is great. As the Brooklyn-bred son of a Newf, I loves it.
2 shows I can’t get enough of are Canadian....Letterkenny, and Trailer Park Boys. Both great shows, nice to see Jonathan torrens of TPB in a couple episodes of Letterkenny.
I live 15 minutes outside of listowel, in dorking. And all of this is spot on
ya ever notice.. after watching too much Letterkenny ya can't help but ramble n rhyme out random ridiculous nonsense? I swear that show's got such a draw. Real draw. Even had muh bud just see one episode n fore ya know he's talkin "Ya ever notice howw..."
..but to be fair~
Electronic Wave TV glad it's not just me 😂😂
@@Blessed2bFresh Ha! Just a testament to how awesome the show is. =D
To be faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir
@@ironfox4304 to be faaaaaaair~
Letterkenny quotes are now embedded in our everyday conversations lol
Probably my favorite letterkenny saying is " hard no"! Or " gasp, Bonnie McMurray "!!
Lotta terms suggested by the host were used in the show, as my introduction. Appreciate Keeso very much, Shoresy is incredible.
Like the pop-up chalkboard, I appreciate it. Subscribed. :)
Welcome to the family!
livesimplifiedlife is that what you appreciate about this? 😂
Pump the brakes there, Squirrely Dan! :)
Let's take it back about 20% there Squirelly Dan!
Is that what you appreciate about it.
"Nappy is *short* for nap." Yous been smokin pot, haven't ya? Cuz that's exactly the type a thing someone who just smoked pot might say. Lmao. Love ya, Keeso!
"Pert near" has been said on the southern United States forever so rather than me saying that we started it I'm just gonna say that folks up there in what I'm guessing is a certain area of Canada and is southern folks have a lot in common. Lol I guess that's why I enjoy Letterkenny so much. Great shit.
Not much difference you and I
I’m from Georgia and I have never heard pert near in my life 😂😂
I'm from northern (more rural) California and I heard it around while I was growing up
I love how Wayne talks, it's amazing, so Irish😍 and Canadian😍
Best slang was at the end when he said "hey, No Sweat thank you for having me eh"
It's funny Jared said 'Pert Near' is a regional dialect to his area of Ontario. I grew up saying that in Oklahoma and it's a pretty common Southern thing to say.
Oklahoma gang
Honestly all over mid to southern USA I imagine it’s used by almost everyone. Even on the west coast I hear people use it, as well as plum near or plum tired. It’s just not as common.
I'm glad the interviewer said it - "This is the most Canadian thing." The guy's name is Danny f****** Bridger and of course you all know him, insofar as to know he's writing in Montreal. ♡
that truely is the most Canadian interview ever, and the outro seals it 😂😂
Nothin made me laugh harder than when Wayne said “wheel of brie cheeeese”
Pert near is also part of rural Southern US slang. This is why I love the show - I can intuit a lot of what they’re saying from growing up in the rural South.
So weird to hear him speak whole sentences. Love Letterkenny! We've been binging for about a week!
We use Pert Near in parts of Wisconsin!
Brian Genack I was going to say, some of these things I’ve heard growing up in Wisconsin
We use it down in Iowa
To be fair, a lot of us are or think we're Canadian, buddy.
@@Lalondeist to be faaaaaiiiya
pert near used in southern USA, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee... means "almost" pert near killed someone
I use quite a bit of these but the “yawannaknowwhat?” Is the one I use the most
The two I took from the show are "Figure it out" and "Can Confirm"
Pert Near is used in the South of USA as well
