Well there's Van City, and North Van, and probably other abbreviations for various areas in the Vancouver metro area, used by locals mostly.thegreekdog wrote:I meant you in the "Canadians" sense of the term.Timminz wrote:I don't.

Almost related: I'm pretty sure only people from southern Ontario call Toronto, "T dot" (from the abbreviation T.O.).

Holy f*ck!saxitoxin wrote:Facebook used to be a place to keep in touch with friends, etc. Now it's a place for finks and police informants to ply their craft. With new facial recognition tagging, soon the cops won't even need sycophants to fink to them, they'll just be able to scan a picture from the riots and let Facebook's computers pop-out an ID, plus a list of the person's friends, their religious preference, political identity, hobbies, address, where they've been to recently, etc.

LOL! You have a valid point, Timminz. It's pretty pathetic, when one contemplated the matter and implications.Timminz wrote:

I don't believe that too many Torontonians refer to their beloved city as "T dot". That is not spiffing.I used to live near Toronto, and I haven't ever heard the phrase.
