I was watching a CBC program about language in Canada. I was especially suprised by a number of words and phrases that the show claimed were pretty unique to Canadians. Do you know and/or use these words/phrases? [Poll #299538]

(That last one didn't come up in the show, but I have seen it cause confusion).

I ticked a few as known, but I am in the UK. Serviette is certainly a word used in the UK, as is hanger. What else do you put your clothes on, if not a hanger? Happy as a pig in shit is only a slight variant from happy as a pig in muck, which is probably more likely to be heard over here, but close enough, I felt.
