Vickie.......Canadian coins from about 1851 to 1900
fish scale nickel...small 5 cent piece made of silver up to 1921
bouy.........good friend
Bud..........great beer...think that one is universal
Herring Choker...one from New Brunswisck (a weir is a fishing net..chokes the fish)
Spud...Prince Edward Islander...known for its potatoes
Newfie....someone from Newfoundland...brunt of all our jokes
