A good post from Ken which highlights the micro-local dialects that abound in my homeland. Having been born and raised there (and even spending a great deal of time in the Maritime provinces) I have never, ever heard anyone say ‘soccer-ball’ when referring to the game of soccer. One of my favorite expressions from my time ‘out east’ is ‘hard in the head’ which means ‘annoying’.
“Did you hear her going on and on about it? Yeah, she’s totally hard in the head.”
