tibas9 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 With the USA Soccer Team eliminating the country of Panama from the Futbol Mundial will this make it harder, in the short-term, for USA Expats to enter and exit Panama?

jesselongworth Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Probably. Go Canada eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Murray Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Rick, I don't think the USA Soccer Team eliminated the entire country of Panama but only its soccer team. The country of Panama will still be there and they'll be happy to have us American expats come for a visit. Once inside the border, however, if asked say, "I'm from Tronna, eh."

We Canadians say "I'm from TO." Not to but T-O. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Murray Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Well, now, Carol, I have it on good authority, from actual "Tronnans", that it's "Tronna." Now, of course, you know those Canadians . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Nickerson Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 We down east & some from TO say TO. But either will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesselongworth Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Actually it's something aboot Tron-o eh if you want to sound Canadian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epicatt2 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 So how is it promounced when it's 'TO'? Like the word 'toe'? Non-Canadians like us Flahrda Crackers cum Alla-Hoolenses wanna noe, too! Cheers! Paul M. == Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Murray Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 "Down east", eh, Carol? Well, that explains a lot. So maybe you do say "TO", however that may be pronounced; but to put it into perspective, others need to know that you also say "lob-stah" (and eat cod tongues which, to your credit, you pronounce "cod tongues").

Carol Nickerson Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Pronunce TO by saying T then O. Lots of lobsta in Nova Scotia. I eat Halibut tongues & cheeks but not cod. Come ova hea. Ha! We Nova Scotians talk different. We don't say eh either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Murray Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Okay, Carol, I give up. I've eaten my share of cod tongues but nevah halibut tongues nor cheeks. And, now that we've completely hijacked this thread, could you please explain salmon gundy(sp?) to me? By "explain" I mean (1)what the heck is it? (2)why would anyone eat it? and (3)why is it called that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salish sea Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Dave, it's "Solomon Gundy," tastes like rancid fish to me, and I cannot tell you why anyone would eat the stuff. A friend of ours waxed nostalgic about it, then brought some (obtained at great expense, no doubt) on a sailing trip we went on with him and his wife. It's a tribute to his winning personality that we're still friends. Wretched stuff! (by the way, it was the Jamaican Solomon Gundy -- I haven't had the stuff from NS) regards, Gayle ps: the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_gundy Edited October 17, 2013 by salish sea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Nickerson Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Solomon grundy in Nova Scotia is hunks of herring & onions then pickled & put up in jars. I hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brine? Wine? Sour cream? Is it very different from pickled herring that one sees in a supermarket? Cheers! Paul M. == Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
