  3. 🇨🇦 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

  5. #WordOfTheDay: #catstaple

    //katˈstāp(ə)l/.
    verb
    past tense: catstapled; past participle: catstapled

    to be attached or secured with a cat.

    "Mark had remained in the same position for three hours straight because his 10-lb feline Bertha had catstapled him to the sofa."

    (The above is a common occurrence in our household.🤣 Feel free to borrow this expression I've coined as it comes in handy. #Dogstapling is a related phenomenon.)
