fair i'm shawn mendes and i'm here to teach you i'm gonna try to teach you some pickering slang let's do it ajax ajax is a town very close to pickering my grandma and my aunt and my cousins live in ajax it's the newer version of pickering it's the little brother to pickering so yeah ajax is cool i'm not from there so i won't say it's better than pickering though mickey i thought that was a world thing a mickey is a flask sized bottle of liquor a mickey of vodka yeah my mom's british and she always said mickey so i always just thought it was her but maybe it was her being canadian you get a mickey and then you can get a 2 6 which is the bigger bottle 2 6 of sorak i've been in the u.s and i've been like we should get a 2-6 of something and that people have no i've never don't have no idea what i'm talking about the go train is basically the train that is that you can take from pickering to downtown toronto if you want to go see a leafs game or you want to go see a blue jays game or you want to go see drake at the scotiabank arena it's whatever you choose famous players famous players is the theater uh in the pickering town center i don't even know if it's a famous players anymore i think they turned it into something else but famous players on tuesday you could go and watch a movie for like 4.99 when i was a kid and that's what we did um i think i i might have had one of my first kisses in that famous players snowbirds is like somebody who goes to florida for the winter so like me because i'm in miami right now and uh yeah so that's a snowbird if you if you just go to canada and reap the benefits of summer and you leave during the winter i don't know i don't know if you can do that i'm dying to get back home to that cold weather if you're a loafter i have a few loafter friends my friend brian is a huge loafter it's like when you're trying to go do something and they're just like taking forever and they're like loafing around the place and they're like just like not sure what they want to do they're trying to get things to bring they don't know what they're doing they're just loafting they're just like taking their time too much time pioneer village is a school trip go to and i remember pioneer village because they gave you bread and jam and that's what i remember about pioneer village that i think you go in like fifth grade and they teach you about the pioneers and they teach you about the native and um they give you bread and jam and it was a lovely experience i highly recommend it if you ever find yourself in pickering beauty a beauty is like like for instance if you do anything that is good for your boys they'll call you a beauty like i don't know ask how else to exactly explain that but that guy's a beauty me and sekai's such a good guy he's just a beauty you know he's a good guy what you saying bro what are you saying bro what are you saying i mean my friends completely abandoned what's up probably 10 years ago the only thing we ever say is what are you saying or even more so from just w-y-s what you're saying which is like what's going on what are you doing that's jokes it's so funny that's jokes is basically exactly what that sounds like that's hilarious that's jokes no way that's jokes the saying that's jokes is pretty jokes a beaver tale is the most famous um canadian like uh like pastry you can get them in ottawa um and they can they sell them on the side of the road and it's like it looks like a beaver tail but it's just a pastry and you get like cinnamon and sugar put on it darts darts are gross darts are cigarettes if someone's smoking a dart in the backyard they're smoking cigarettes in the backyard i love being canadian i love these words that we use guy yo guy guy is pretty much like the most common used word i've ever heard in pickering or just in toronto and it's like the the way you just you call a guy that you you don't know you just say yo guy or i mean i mean my friends just my friends call me guy like what are you saying guy um and then my neighbor's name is actually spelt g-u-y and he and i asked and he texted me saying what's up it's it's guy and i thought he was kidding but it's actually pronounced ghee um what's up gui if you ever watch this the washroom is the bathroom um that's that's a weird one i went to america and i asked where the washroom was and people were pretty uh confused by that although i don't understand why because it makes sense still that's what people say when you you tell them that you're from bickering instead of saying toronto that's why i say toronto but that's why it's good to be bringing up pickering durham region transit is uh i guess like the public transit of durham region and durham region is the mama bear of pickering and ajax and yeah timmy's is another way of saying tim hortons which is like you want you want you want some timmies bro although i don't know if i ever asked my bros if they want timmy's um that's like something my mom would say she would say hey do you want i'm going i'm passing by timmy's you want some and i always say yes tim's is a long time old friend of all canadians toque a toque is basically what we call a winter hat like a like a beanie i guess you in america you guys call it beanies um that's called a toque in canada bear is basically like if if there's like if you're like i don't know if we have enough food and and then you're trying to reassure your friend that you have enough food you go bro there's bare food we're good we got bear food um which means a lot of food and that's used for basically every single we don't say a lot in canada me and my friends are just bear scarberria way to say scarborough scarberria a lot of people say scarbs too no one says you're from the world though if someone's like who's man's it's really when like you're you're like if you're in like a public place and this guy your friend is like being weird or doing something uncomfortable or something like really obnoxious maybe you'd just be like who's man's is this who's man's and you kind of like you disassociate from being with that guy because he's being weird it's kind of mean but it's not meant to mean way it's like more endearing when someone says who's man's it's funny i think to canadians thank you so much vanity fair i hope i taught you some very important pickering slang that you'll be able to use for the rest of your life if you go to pickering it's getting cold so please put your tube on
