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).

Just a paper napkin, where I come from (905-land, Niagara/Toronto). Cloth napkins are called cloth napkins or napkins.

Actually, I just used the word serviette today at lunch: "Can I have some serviettes? Sure!"
