People are sharing their favorite Edmontonian phrases & some of them are hilarious

Each city has its own set of inside jokes and ‘isms,’ but few compare to the ones most familiar to true Edmontonians. This week, Reddit users actually shared some of their favorites, and as usual – they did not disappoint!

Generating hundreds of comments, Reddit user MerakiSphere asked for phrases or sayings that only Edmontonians would understand and these were the top answers – starting with one that would definitely have us scratching our heads if we didn’t know any better.

Of course, these are just the tip of the ‘Tonian ice burg, so we’d recommend you check out the rest of the “sayings only Edmontonians would understand” thread for more ridiculousness – heck, maybe you’ll have something genius to add!

We’ve certainly got some strange ones, folks – but we wouldn’t have it any other way!
