What I really h8 about Canada
 

This has bugged me for years.
After 20 odd years in Canada it still irritates me.

Instead of saying "tasty" they say "flavorful," or "flavorsome."

What the heck is wrong with "Tasty?"

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

What's wrong with Flavourful or flavourome?

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

"They're tasty, tasty, very very tasty, they're very tast - y"

What on earth was the product though?

I know I know this one it's on the tip of my tongue............................

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

I can hear it...

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

Just had to google it , it's Kelloggs Bran Flakes. I remember the song but can't remember the advert;)

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

for a start they don't say "flavourful," they say it "flavorful!"

They're words to lose your teeth on, too many syllables, they're trying to be posh, they're pretensious words.

There's nowt wrong wi' good old down to earth English words. Just try and imagine Les Dawson saying "flavorful."

How many men say "Ooh that gravy is flavorful"?

They say, "Eh-up that were right tasty that were!"

At least where I come from!:rofl:

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

Ahh right you are...Bran Flakes...I would never have got that.

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

In Canadian it's flavour and not the US flavor. Still not tasty though :rofl:

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

Hmmmm... I wonder if it depends on the area of Canada.

I'm born and bred Canadian and really only recall saying tasty rather than flavourful.

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

In almost 40 years in Canada I can't recall hearing that. It's always been tasty as far as I can remember. Must be a Calgary thing.

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

Me too! Perhaps the title should read "Things I h8 about Calgary"

Or better yet, replace h8 with "hate" :D

Re: What I really h8 about Canada
 

No I h8 it, I don't hate it - that's far too strong.:lol::lol:

You know I've never heard tasty in a TV commercial - it's always flavorful.

Not a big gripe I know, but after all these years, man and boy, it's the one that gets me!:p

Glad its the only thing that gets to you - seems you are more successful than most expats on thier worries.............

It was a guy on a balcony and the camera panned out and there were multiple balcones with guys on all singing the same song as their wives served them Bran Flakes to unclog their bowels.
