  1. 🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Serviette

    While used in other English-speaking countries, 'serviette' is far more common in Canada than 'napkin.' The word comes directly from French, reflecting Canada's bilingual heritage. So next time you're setting the table or cleaning up a spill, you're using a word that subtly highlights Canada's unique linguistic landscape. Pass the serviettes, eh? #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #Serviette

  6. So after reading that Kraft Dinner thread I'm guessing my American friends don't call it KD? And now I'm also wondering, is Sev-0 a Canadian thing for referring to 7-11? Like, I'm going to the Sev-0 to get a box of KD?
