Video should be called "Toronto Slang that no other Canadian has ever heard of".

[ashleymaestrado]

50% of the comments: This is toronto slang not canadian slang.
Other 50%: Yo this could be british slang

I’m Canadian and I’ve never heard any of these.

[michelel]

This is Toronto millennial slang. The rest of Canada is watching this and thinking WTF!

[ebonya.tempral]

I really appreciate her pointing out the Jamaican-Patois influence on all these slangs :D

[malin]

Toronto is like London with their slang, we’re both influenced by the Jamaica language

[Heyssup]

I need to know who her make-up artists is bc she’s been looking ridiculously good everywhere

[livewithintention]

It's funny how much Toronto slang has in common with London slang - guess it's mostly the Jamaican influence in both cities, really cool to see :)

[sonrisaverdean]

Toronto slang has Caribbean influences bc there are lots of Caribbeans.

[midnitestrm]

I literally never heard any of these until I moved to Toronto. Now I can’t NOT hear them.

[nancyaliciaa]

People trying to claim that this is London slang but both are heavily influenced by Caribbean slang like...

[Lynsey]

Lilly knows this is Toronto slang, Vanity Fair didn’t get the message.

[guila]

The amount of times I’ve seen
“Anyone want to link?” on snap stories-

[heatherk]

It isn't Lilly's fault that Vanity Fair titled this as Canadian slang.

[auroraxia]

Me: *Internally questioning if I'm really Canadian*
