I'm pleased to see some of the Chinook jargon is there.

Skookum as frig!

Actually they should just watch a few AvE videos, he’s a goldmine for old Canadian lingo.

  • I still use "saltchuck" when I'm distracted. Confuses the heck out of Californians.

    • I've seen Chinook words used in California, both in place names and businesses. Skookum, Siwash, Tyee, etc.

      Definitely less common than in BC/WA/OR though.

      Klahowya tillicum!
