It would be funny if some confused Brit asked if he could wear his "birthday suit" in a public pool.

I was leafing through my copy of "Origins of Words" or the like the other day and was dismayed to discover it's an American book.
It didn't have the word "Bollocks" in it.
It did have "Bollixed" as a version of it though.
Which is it in Canada? Bollocks or bollix?

How abt "wassup". Is this used in canada. From what I have read I think that Canadian accent is a mixture of English & American accests ( no offence meant) . Am I right.
