Jared Keeso of Letterkenny explains 10-ply and other slang

Letterkenny star and creator, Jared Keeso, explains some of the slang used in the show in this cultural exchange between St John's, Newfoundland and Listowel, Ontario.

Jared breaks down Letterkenny slangs, and that's what I appreciates about him.

"So you're having a radio interview with your boys the other

[johnmartin]

McMurray called. He wants his shirt back.

[everettkitley]

"You're a cup of baby carrots."
Such a simple line...
Yet, so powerful.

[everettkitley]

The opening of the first show had me hooked.
"How many times you pull your horn today, bud?"
"Awe, he's bashful."
"Don't worry, Kitten. We won't tell anyone."

I'm from the U.S. South, and it's nuts to me how comfortable I feel with this slang. It's not the same words, but the slang is formed in the same way, with the same rhythm and cadence. Reminds me of home. I live in California now, and nothing here has ever felt as natural and "homey" to me as the conversation I just witnessed. Love this show.

So THAT is how Jared Keeso looks like when he's not squinting.

I love that some of the newfie slang that was mentioned here seemed unknown to Keeso, and it managed to make it into a later episode when the hockey team had to play the Newfies.

[briannagravely]

This show seriously feels like I'm learning English as a second language.

[sasyscarborough]

seeing Jared smile so much is just awesome. Coming from Australia I got the 10ply one straight away, it was hilarious.

[OmegaSoypreme]

"You looking for a tilly, buddy? Let's have a donnybrook!" Glad we got that cleared up.

[Reeonimus]

The best part is when he says he has a buddy Danny Bridger and the host knows him. Small town Canadian AF.

[littlecombatmusic]

It's awesome to see how much Jared appreciates learning new local dialect. He even went onto incorporate a lot of Newfie slang mentioned here in the later seasons against the Newfie team, like "knows" and "all hands".

[jacklafferty]

As someone from Ireland (actually from a town called Letterkenny in Donegal also) hearing someone use 'Donnybrook' at the other side of the world is fascinating. I believe the term originally came from a rowdy fair that used to take place in Donnybrook, Dublin. I understand that the term is now uncapitalised in the dictionary but it still amazes me how people use it.

[badmandansanchez]

Took a few episodes to warm up to the show but can't get enough now.

[RobEvanstheMysticBovine]

I would love to see the Trailer Park Boys come up to the Produce Stand one day.

[ricksanchez]

Honestly the weirdest thing i felt was about this interview was seeing Jared smile.

[John_Linn]

As American, I'd say these Canadian guys are as fun as hell...
Like the cool cousin you didn't even know you had until you got drunk with him at Thanksgiving.

[jimtress]

The Letterkenny slang was GREAT - brought back a lot of memories, being born and raised in Detroit and playing hockey. My kids turned me on to it - Congratulations Jared!

Lol wait Wayne’s annoying drunk laugh is just Jared Keeso’s real laugh?!
