Word of the Day: Double-Double
Earlier, I said that I am Canadian.
Every English-speaking country has its unique lingo, and Canada is no different.
In Canada, we have a doughnut/coffee shop called Tim Hortons.
It is similar to Doutor in Japan.
A double-double is a coffee of any size with two creams (double) and two sugars (double).
If you want to go native in Canada, order your Tim Hortons coffee as a double-double.
It is just a little bit of Canadian culture and language for you.
You didn’t know that, eh?
