And 100 years is as old as 23 skidoo which means get the eff outta here.
Us youngins call that MacGyverizing.

I've never heard anyone say that, but I have seen it typed out online.

"pwned" is one that I saw a young person try to use in Scrabble. She'd heard others use it when gaming, but never seen it spelled and tried to put it down as "poned"

That one made me giggle a bit.

Several times while working as a heritage interpreter, I had visitors to the facility tell me they didn't think I was from Nova Scotia because they could understand what I was saying. They guessed wrong. My job was communication.
Regional dialects in the province range from Acadian french to remnants of German, Scottish and southern England.
Good times!
