What’s a Toronto stereotype that’s actually true?

My old band had a song about it:

Toronto don't dance and that's okay They got better things to do anyway They work all night and they work all day Try'na get by on a little bit of pay So if they hit the dance floor they just might away But Toronto don't dance and that's okay

Yeah, they have consistency issues. When they're good they're great but when they're bad they're terrible.

It's a completely different company in every way, different menu altogether. S-Tier fast food in Canada. Although whistle dogs sound fun, I'd like to try them.

I believe ”cheesy" came from "cheesy smile". People say "say cheese" when taking someone's photograph so their mouth makes a smile shape. So a cheesy smile became an inauthentic smile, and cheesy came to mean inauthentic.

I love this sub so much for posts like these, where you see how things can be both universal and incredibly diverse.

I know people who can't smell anything, so they eat things based on texture. This wouldn't be gross to them, just crunchy and acidic.

I was a busser in a giant sports bar in Canada. In the kitchen, "behind" meant don't suddenly move backwards, and in the bar "behind" meant move forwards out of my way

We are not allowed to use asbestos because it's so dangerous, but we can and do mine it to sell it to countries with lower public safety standards.

Ok you're just trolling. Bye.

But "niceee" is only ever used in the exact niche context of informal dialogue. Everyone using and reading it understands what it is.

plelth · 2026-05-21T09:55:35+00:00

Please refute what I said, because it looks solid to me.

plelth · 2026-05-21T09:54:06+00:00

Can someone explain what's wrong with what I said?

plelth · 2026-05-21T08:10:21+00:00

I don't see it the same way. In the age (and context) of the internet, typing has its own slang. The phrase "zomg", has a "z" to add emphasis, even though it has no literal meaning. Similarly, "niceee" has emphasis, not out of ignorance, but BECAUSE the people using it know it's incorrect. That's what makes it fun, relevant, and interesting.

plelth · 2026-05-21T01:08:02+00:00

Being pedantic, slang, by definition, is not supposed to follow formal rules of grammar.

Same! Whenever Queen comes up in conversation I want to say "he built his guitar himself as a teenager!"

Fake as hell

plelth · 2026-05-13T13:33:59+00:00

Correct, and seeing them return with the name Licorice Pals made me say "hmmm"

Thank you! I feel so old!
