Newfoundland: British, not Canadian, until 1949

Cool story Flash...

 

Thanks, dude. I turned it into a blog post.

 

I was hoping this thread would elicit at least one quality Newfoundland anecdote from the board and I was not disappointed. Thanks, Flash.

 

Question: "Now, my ducky..."?

 

Yup ... 'my ducky' is a popular term of endearment. As is 'malove.'

 

A very long time ago, I had a girlfriend from Lancashire, England who called me "duck" and "ducks." That was just cute as hell.

 

And, thus, the genus of 'my ducky.'

'Newfie' is really a mish-mash of English and Irish. And those folks from the Northern Pen, who are descendant of Vikings? Fuck me, I don't even try to understand them.

 

Saw it there - well done.

 

Look don't beat yourself up. It 's an honest mistake that coud happen to anyone.

 

Gee, so are misspellings on a writers' board.

 

Of course he is. He's from Regina, Saskatchewan.
