Do you know (without google, ya cheater) where Canada got it's name?

[Sandy Ferguson]

Ancient Indian word meaning buffet hogs.

[Necio]

And here I thought Canada meant icebox.

[Woods Devil]

My guess is that it's named after the European who established the first colony there.


Just looked it up, I was wrong.

So, there were 3 guys standing around. They were wondering what they should call this land that they have claimed. The first man says to the group, "Let's have a 'C', eh?" The second man says, "Yeah, Let's have a "N", eh?" The last man says," That's perfect, but we need a 'D', eh?" The men all agreed.

Thus, today, we have "C,eh,N,eh,D,eh" More commonly know as "CANADA"

[Unclefred]

It's an old Inuit word meaning "the fluff inside the underhide of a virgin."

Actually, I do not.

My counterpart
Steve28 might know though.

I may have to look it up.

Or you could tell me.

You must have seen this commercial, it's been playing forever. We're named Canada because of a dumbass priest.

Actually that's pretty damn close!

That's not a comedy video or anything. That's a real 'heritage minute', or whatever they call it, that's been playing on Canadian TV for years in between the beer commercials.

True story on the Heritage/History Minute thing. I've saw a few of them, interesting AND entertaining!
