I haven't had a need for one. I would suggest reading Canadian newspapers and listening to the CBC, Maybe join a Toronto chat room or something.

   

Figfarmer, what is a Delta?

Does anyone here speak French?

   

A delta is the part where a river spills into the ocean. It's also a suburb of Vancouver which is situated close to the Fraser River delta.

   

At your service, sir.

   

Are "lynx" and "lynx-eye" terms they use for people?

   

What Does "delta" mena in candain Slang?

   

It doesn't mean aynthing that I know of. It's a geographical term and a place name in BC.

   

Some Canadian women are called "Cougars", but not lynxes, as far as I know.

Or did you mean in French? "Oeil De Lynx" (literally translated into English as lynx-eye) was the French name for that TV show character "Hawkeye" Pierce (MASH).

   

Can I call someone a "robuste" or a "capable" in Quebec French?

In part part of Canada do they use the word Sokobe?

   

A delta is the place where a river meets a large body of water and deposits its silt. It is also a term for where water comes out of a woman. It is also a letter of the Greek alphabet. It is also a term used in the design of aircraft to denote a certain wing design.

   

Are "scrapper" and "bully" Canadianisms? I know that "bully'' Is used as an adjective-meaning "First-rate".
Does "bully" menas "first-rate person"?

   

"Robuste"? "Capable"? No. I don't think those are what you could call slang terms in Quebec. Of course you could call someone "une robuste" or "un capable" but those aren't common figures of speech.

I've never heard of "Sokobe".

   

A bully is a person who beats other people up for no reason. There are a number of them around this forum.

   

Learn a new thing every day!
