🏒Think you know your Canadianisms? Take the quiz at the link in our bio and tell us how you did! 🇨🇦“Booter,” “ding” and “elbows up” are just a few of the 137 new additions to the Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles, now updated and mobile-friendly—just in time for Canada Day! The project, led by UBC professor Dr. Stefan Dollinger, represents the first major update to the dictionary since 2017—and only the second since its launch in 1967. Over three years, Dr. Dollinger and his team tracked how uniquely Canadian terms emerge, evolve and persist. The result? A digital resource with over 14,500 meanings across 12,000+ entries that show how Canadians really speak. #canadaday #ohcanada
