      Which one?

        The Looney!

          Named after the loon on one side of the coin. The toonie represents 2 dollars and we are waiting on a 5 dollar coin in the future. The finnie?

    I am Canadian (your neighbor to the north in Edmonton) & I know them all except Klick – did you mean Klik?

    1. John Phillips Avatar

      As in “How many klicks to Calgary”. Lol

    1 – it’s like ten-four, but since Canada has a smaller population, they only use two.
    2 – Coins!
    3 – Hat. It’s a French word. Canadians love the French.
    4 – Klick – Distance. It’s also used in the military. Because everyone knows Canadians are warmongers.

    Am I right? 😉

    Wow, I’ve spent half my life in Canada and only knew two of those. I guess I didn’t recognize two-four because I was only drinking age in Canada for two years, but Klick… what does that mean?

    1. John Phillips Avatar

      They only get harder Dave. Stay tuned

      2.5?? You aren’t giving him full points for the french hat!?? Harsh!

      1. John Phillips Avatar

        I deducted for the warmonger comment lol

          oh nothing like a subjective marker!

          1. John Phillips Avatar

            Could be objective as well. I’ll bump him to 3 then

            1. SillyG Avatar

              I am certain he will be pleased with that going into the tougher rounds!

              1. John Phillips Avatar

                Notice that it stumped a Canuck as well!!

    Hmmm never thought about how Klick was spelled before… I was confused until I read El Guapo’s answer #4 (that is after I stopped laughing about the 10-4 reference!)
