I love this site...
www.urbandictionary.com
It's great to pick up funny slang and sayings..or when you hear an expression and don't know what it means...look it up here. We recently had a caller yell out "Pork Chop Sandwiches" and had NO CLUE what he meant....Urban Dictionary saved the day. Another great one to look up: Jube
Here's what the Urban Dictionary has to say about the May 2-4 weekend:
| |
May Two-Four |
|
| |
Queen Victoria's birth day, May 24th, is a statutory holiday in Canada and the first long weekend since Easter. It is the traditional weekend during which one opens 'the camp' (cottage), and signifies the start of summer (and Blackfly season) in Canada. The reference to 'two-four' rather than 'twenty-fourth' is a Canadian inside joke refering to the obligatory case(s) of 24 bottles of beer, or 'two-fours' required to celebrate the opening of the camp and to steel one's courage against the blackflies and the mice that will have settled into the camp since it was closed in the fall.
"Did ya go to the Beer Store and get a couple of two-fours for camp? It's May two-four, eh, and there'll be a lineup!"
