Indian Slang

So I'm walking around downtown Yelloknife today, minding my own business which is pretty hard. The Natives come out in gangs during the days with sun. The downtown has been referred to the Gaza Strip of Canada. Which isn't hard to believe because it is crazy nuts. On any given day and at any moment a fight can beak out.

Which brings me to the "line of the day"

Imagine to grossly unhygiened indians sharing cigs on the corner. An older lady and a youger man on the becnh and a approaching older gentlemen heading there way. Now I don't know if the Natives have a system where the elders get first dibs on things, cause the older guy certainly tried for it.

The old man walks up and says "get off the bench" to the younger guy

The old woman says "he's my cousin"

The older man then stands right in the face of the younger guy and starts shoving him and tell him to "shut the fuck up and get up"

The younger guys pushes him off and says "hey man I'm justing sitting down"

The older man finally grabs the guy drags him of the bench and says

"Get the FUCK OFF THE BENCH OR I'LL SPRAY YOU IN THE EYES WITH MY ARESOL CAN"

What a classic line---spray you with my aresol

Only in the NWT, and likely Nunavut

I hope the Natives can get everything figured out. Hate seeing them pass cigs around in the Winter.

Till next time
