Canadian "Road Rage"

Nearly as bad as Portland drivers! Those people will… [takes deep breaths to face intense memories] chase you down to apologize for not visually communicating their intent to give you the right of way strongly enough when they let you pass.

It is a world red in toot and boop indeed.

More ‘Street Greet’ than ‘Road Rage’.

Thanks for sharing the full video; I watched until the end and now I see the real “rage”. :rofl:

We don’t say sir?
…really?
Cuz I grew up saying sir in high school and I will say sir to strangers if I’m trying to get their attention.

Sir
Origin
Middle English: reduced form of sire.

sire
ˈsī(ə)r/
noun
noun: sire; plural noun: sires

1.
the male parent of an animal, especially a stallion or bull kept for breeding.
2.
archaic
a respectful form of address for someone of high social status, especially a king.
    a father or other male forebear.

Not a military term. It’s a status thing.

Definitely not a military thing.

Here in the US, we call them hockey games.

Except in England, where the language is from, the lords led their soldiers into battle. They were the generals. They GOT their status by raising armies (and or taxes) from the land. So I don’t think you’re quite correct.

The Sire term is meant as a social status indicator, not all people of high social status were military by the way. But having served under a lord was a good way to jump into a higher status but those two are not mutually exclusive. Wealth is the main indicator i would presume, not military rank.

I sure didn’t (in Roughrider territory).

Do you / Did you also say Madam or Ma’am?

Sometimes?
I dunno. Its not unusual to say either here in the big smoke. And I swear I heard it when I lived in Cowtown.
