Labels for social types: the show-off, the country cousin, the city sophisticate, the freeloader. These words tell you what a culture notices about its own members.
Canuck
noun · Informal
A Canadian. Used proudly by Canadians about themselves — it is a hockey team name and a wartime cartoon hero — though it has been used as a slur by outsiders.
Use with care
hoser
noun · Dated
An unsophisticated, beer-drinking, plaid-wearing man. Largely a comic stereotype rather than live vocabulary — Canadians use it about the stereotype, not about each other.
Use with care
keener
noun · Informal
Someone conspicuously eager — the student who answers every question, the colleague who volunteers first. Mildly mocking, but rarely hostile.
mans
noun · Informal
Used as a first-person pronoun meaning 'I' or 'me' — 'mans is tired'. Also as a general term for a guy.
snowbird
noun · Colloquial
A retired Canadian who spends the winter in Florida, Arizona or Mexico and returns north in spring.
the Six
noun · Informal

noun · Informal
A useless person; someone with nothing going on and nothing to offer. A real insult, not a joke.
