The American definition of Canuck

Tags

In a recent Vancouver Sun, Don McGillivray had a note on what Americans think Canuck means to Canadians. He quotes the 1992 American Heritage Dictionary, which defines Canuck as: "offensive slang used as a disparaging term for a Canadian, especially a French Canadian"; the 1985 Harper Dictionary of Contemporary Usage: "a Canadian-American, especially one of French-Canadian ancestry, an oddity"; and the Columbia Guide to Standard American English: "some people consider it an ethnic slur."
