For those of you in the same predicament as me, here are some new rules for a Degrassi High drinking game. Add these to the rules from the Degrassi Junior High drinking game.
1. If you hear someone pronounce “about” as “aboot,” take a drink. (Remember, this show was made in Canada.)
2. When a character is lying, take a drink.
3. Every time you see hockey hair, shout, “What the puck?” and take a drink.
4. When you see the twins, take two drinks.
5. Every time you see people socializing in the bathroom, make sure your hands are clean and take a drink.
Bonus round...if they're wearing a jersey while having hockey hair take two drinks!
ReplyDeleteAlso...aboot is a maritime slang.
Does it really sound like “aboot” to you guys down there? I sometimes hear “abote” if the person is from back east or has a working-class/small-town accent, but never “aboot.”
ReplyDeleteYes, Felicity (I'm aware you probably won't read this but I'm posting it for anyone else asking). We really do hear "aboot." There's a great deal of U.S. media that pokes fun at it. If you want the best example, look for the scene in South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut where the Canadian prime minister is speaking.
