Canadian phrases

This is no joke:
Just asked a volunteer: "How are you?"
His reply: "Tickety boo."
Me: "Huh?"
Him again: "Tickety boo."
I just smiled. All of this was moments after a female curling broadcaster said "Holy cockadoodle doo."
What am I to do? :-)

Joe and I found while living in Canada that Whistler was the best place for funny phrases. Our favorites: Would you like a "bevy" (beverage) and Can I "splash you up" (would you like a refill)?

Thanks for sharing Jane. Living with a Canadian all through college...it always made me smile when my roommate called winter knit hats..."tukes"!
