Your assessment is 100% correct. Iād argue that Toronto also isnāt Canadian at all, but Vancouver might be even less so.
interesting. i can see the argument transposed in that new york is a very unique city in that thereās nothing else like it in america, however itās also a uniquely american city. a living contradictionā¦

Yeah itās like, if youāve only been to Tokyo, sure youāve been to Japan. But you havenāt really been to Japan. Most countries have this phenomenon to some extent, I imagine.

@connrrr Garage is another one. Thereās already the UK garage vs the US garage, but then thereās a whole other Canadian one where itās more like ga-rahj.

Now you say the āwhen a dentist says open your mouth and say ahhhā you can clearly hear the ah sound in there. I think this dispute on how to say mom needs to be done vocally now, itās the only way.
How I said your mother
P.S. - I honestly thought when you said āHello this is bā¦ā you were going to say Brandon, which while I appreciate the introduction did seem kinda pointless.

āGame tapesā are a joke I hear from folks like tim and Brent Porter about what moms called video games (because they were on cartridges and cassette and vhs tapes were popular and a similar form factor - like calling videos mp3s which my own mom has done)

I had an feeling it would be along those lines. When I went from computers to games consoles, the upgrade from tapes to cartridges wasnāt as big a change for me as it was my parents.
We didnāt have a VCR well into the late 80s at home, but even then thatās the first Iāve heard of either of Action Max. Growing up in England we lived a sheltered lifeā¦

Having seen the video for Blue Thunder, I can tell I missed out. I can imagine at the time my young mind would have been blown wide open with that.
Music rocks as well

Also, unrelated to this topic, but very related to this topic - as weāre learning about things people did and didnāt grow up with, is there any enthusiasm to creating a topic about those things from our childhoods which people may have not known because of where they grew up? Sort of a How the &^#$ did I not know that? - Gaming Edition childhood edition?
