My Mom & step-Dad live in northern Vermont, just minutes from the Canadian border. My step-Dad was born in Canada & has relatives living in Canada. We were up to VT. for Thanksgiving. Just as we finished our meal someone knocked at the door. Step-Dad looked out the window & saw who it was... he jumped up out of his chair faster then I ever saw him move... shouting "The Canadians are here, the Canadians are here!!"... running towards the door. Now I know he refers to his northern cousins simply as 'the Canadians' & I had seen who was at the door. But my husband & young daughter were clueless, watching this otherwise calm man run for the door yelling "The Canadians are here!" OMG!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

We had a nice visit with the Canadian cousins & when we told them of the reaction they caused in the house they got a kick out of it.
