馃嚚馃嚘 Canadian Word of the Day: Pencil Crayon

What do you call a wood-cased colouring instrument? If you're Canadian, you likely say 'pencil crayon.' Most Americans, on the other hand, call them 'colored pencils.' This simple two-word term is a classic piece of Canadian vocabulary, learned in elementary school art classes from coast to coast. It's a small but distinct marker of Canadian English. #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #SchoolDays

One way to date larger sets of pencils is to check the name of colours #14 and #21. In the mid-1960s or early 1970s, Venus changed the name of #14 from "Natural Flesh" to "Flesh" and then to "Soft Peach", and #21 was changed from "Indian Red" to "Roan Red".

Word of the Day: 'Keener' 馃摎

In Canadian slang, a 'keener' refers to someone who is extremely eager, enthusiastic, or keen to achieve something, particularly in academic settings. Similar to 'brown-noser' or 'teacher's pet' but with less negative connotation. "That keener always has her homework done a week early!" 馃嚚馃嚘 #Canada#CanadianSlang#WordOfTheDay
