Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

Wait, I don't actually get it at all, by understand I meant that I sort of knew what an ice-hole was (a hole in the ice?) but that's not very punny... please, please, PLEASE explain it;
I feel like I'm missing out on some real comic genius here! ;)

Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

What other English words do you know that end in "-hole" and sound a little bit like "ice", especially ones you can kick?

I think we are going to continue having 0% for a north America somehow.

Hello!!!  I guess I'm the one from Russia))). That's a pity there wasn't Russia in the list, so I chose Asia.

Sherlock: "What?"
John: "It's where two people who like each other go out and have fun."
Sherlock: "That's what I was suggesting."

There should definitely be Russia in the poll. Welcome 221B.

Québec, Canada ! Home of... maple syrup ?
Why North America, USA and Canada are on the post ? Isn't the North America a little useless ?

Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

Ha ha! That's why I said I couldn't see North America getting any %!  unless, maybe Greenland?

You forgot poutine! A strange and mysterious culinary creation!

Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

Greenland? Well, maybe, it would make sense. I always think about it as it's in Europe, I don't know why.

Oh! Poutine! Yes, how did I forget it?But, strange and mysterious? xD

Is there a nickname for fans of Sherlock yet? As you know in the US people sometimes call themselves homies (as in homeboys) and holmies with a silent "L". Like: "yo what's up holmes?". So are we holmies or what?

I've never heard that one before. XD

Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

How can chips, gravy and curdy- cheesy stuff not be 'strange and mysterious?' That said, my daughter like it. She says it is the Canadian version of 'cheesy chips'.

Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

Chips are fries, aren't they? Really not the same meaning here. Cheesy chips? Yes, poutine seems a lot like that, but with sauce. Not so mysterious : ). Though, I understand, I find mince pie really strange!

Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

Chips are indeed French Fries, although ours are often bigger and thicker.
I can understand why you would find mince pies strange, they are really medieval; spiced and super sweet and with suet...weird really.

Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

I think I would go with Sherlockians, except it's so long. Holmesies? Fans of the TV show Glee are gleeks (glee + geeks), but shereeks, sheeks, shreeks -- just don't work.

Question: How many of you pronounce the "l" in "Holmes"?

I can confirm this. They're delicious. The chips.

Re: Tell us what part of the world you come from

Don't really say the L in HOLMES at all to me it sounds like HOMES; hence the play on words with the American TV series HOUSE.
