Canada should drive on the left to really stick it to the yanks.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Ho ho, let's not overreact

How would that even work? Do you expect the passenger to operate a shotgun with their left hand/eye? Just shove their entire body out the window?

[–] FluidBeef@quokk.au 1 points 6 days ago

Obviously you shoot with the right hand and shift with the left.

Why would that upset New Englanders only? Pretty sure this would upset every American, not just the Yanks.

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yanks = all Americans

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hardly...

Yanks, Sox, Cubs, A's, 'Stros...

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about yank

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Understandable. What slang do I call you?

[–] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I like beans on toast.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Limey...I think?

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Canadians should also use "yank" as a synonym for all Americans, because that really upsets them.

Oh right, already done.

[–] FluidBeef@quokk.au 1 points 6 days ago

They love it really!

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hehe. Nope, you're all yanks mate, Australia has you pegged too.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it would upset all North Americans, not just the yanks. Dropping US bs doesn't need to mean picking up UK bs

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Oh, we would never call someone from Canada or Mexico a Yank. That would be inaccurate and offensive.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Exactly, just like how calling anyone outside of New England a "Yank" is offensive, you fucking hypocrite.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, but us yanks, the Mexicans, and even Canucks would be pretty dang annoyed if canada switched to left hand driving
