Hosers term in Wisconsin means a Evil Canadian Neighbor dumping there winter crap on WI

[Jabberwalker]

How can that be? Most people in Wisconsin can't find Canada on a map. As a matter of fact, the map ends at the border. No need to extend it north. There's nothing up there except for an empty white space.

"Skookumchuck narrows" no? Turns out they use the term in Washington too, so it's not Canadian only.




Muskoka chair is just an adirondack chair renamed.

It's Chinook Jargon.

Skookum
Copacetic
Hyak
Saltchuck

Mow itch
Illahwie

Several of those words were still widely in use when I was growing up in the interior.

Never knew copacetic was a native term. Never heard of mow itch, illahwie.

Sorry, fat fingers.

Mowitsch is a deer
Illahie means field, meadow, land

Heard them growning up in the Okanagan
