I'm so happy they put Teddie Hitchcock in Shoresey. Easily one of the best players. "Loyal to the soil, boys! Loyal to the Soil!!"

It's not Irish, It's not English, It's just, well, you know, It's just, newfie.

This is so brilliantly meta. Everyone's talking about how difficult the dialog is to understand in Letterkenny, so they just go even harder and bring Newfies in.

"Stay where you're too, I'll come where you're at." Beautiful, damn near poetic.

I have probably watched this 50 times, and it’s still funny. The concept is pure genius-a critical part of a hockey team’s success is chirping, but they are completely frustrated by a tidal wave of incomprehensible Newfoundland slang. The execution is brilliant. I love how the players get wistfully emotional at the mere mention of “Newfoundland,” even though it is used with complete contempt and hostility. Brilliant idea, and brilliant writing.

Speed it up by 1.5x and it sounds more accurate

As a Newfoundlander, I can vouch for the accuracy of this bit. Just a TAD too slow lol. BUT that is Terry Ryan, former Montreal Canadien and from my home town of Mount Pearl ;)

“Now don’t go mentionin’ home, now gives me da warm tinglies and all dat!“

As a Newfoundlander, dats right on me skippers

Just when I get most of the normal hockey lingo down, they go and throw this at us!

I once had to deal poker to a table full of the Newfoundland curling team, who were attending The Brier in Calgary.

As always, Pushing YT auto-generated Closed Captions to the breaking point.

For the Non-Newfoundlanders in the audience:

"All hands trowin' hands"

This is taken straight from Jared Keeso's interview with Tom Power 👌

My Mom was a Newfoundlander. Moved to Boston in 1943. All her relatives are still in St John's and Hodges Cove. Her sister came to visit in 1980 and for three days my mom had to act as an interpreter. Eventually I started to understand. I think its great that they speak differently than the rest of Canada. Makes them special!!!

Nice to see Teddy made it into the Shoresy spinoff!

Thing is, I actually got to meet some old folks while in newfoundland (My godfather's parents), and they were utterly indecipherable. It was crazy, their words, phrases and accent were so thick you couldn't hear a word they said, but somehow at the end you understood the jist of what they meant. Like having all the knowledge of an alien language implanted into your brain at once, then listening to a conversation and having to translate it back to your own language in your head in real time.

“Gives me the warmest fuzzies”

Something that I just love about " find a slot, stay where you're to, I'll come where you're at".
