Make a big issue about not being mistaken for an American even though they are just as idiotic and fat as the rest of us!!

Americans call certain stores "drygoods" stores. We don't do that here...at least where I live.
I had an American couple ask me where the nearest "drygoods" store was...and I had no idea what the heck they were talking about.

I'm American as **** and have no clue what a "drygoods store" is. Did they mean bulk foods?

Weird. That's an antiquated 19th century term. It meant a store that carried consumer products that were not groceries or hardware, like clothes, bedding, etc. Seems the term originated in England in the 18th century meaning textiles.

No worries eh?

Maybe I have spent to much time in Canada. I say this all the time. I always thought it was more Aussie though.

Seems to be the norm around my parts.
Guess they just gave it an eh instead of a mate.

Pretend our country is this great thing when it's a government screwing it's citizens just the same as our neighbours.

We don't have drygoods stores in San Francisco either but the bars close at 2 a.m.
