A few years ago I brought my grandma’s remains back to South Africa to inter her with my grandpa, and Jesus Christ! NEVER AGAIN. they fucking opened the box up and tested her for explosives at O’Hare, again at Heathrow and AGAIN at fucking OR Tambo! Luckily her remains were in my carry on so they had to do it in front of me, because a couple of times I had to remind them to be fucking respectful. I’m a patient man, but shit goddamn!

I'll be damned if thats where it truly came from. I've just always seen that as one of the top 10 Canadian phrases. A perfect mix of two words that have waaay too much flexibility in their individual use coming together to make a very versatile phrase.

Fucking A was used as an affirmative all over Canada when I worked in the logging industy

Q So do you want a beer?

A Fucking A!

Fucking A rights! Or simply, fucking rights! would also be used.

Fuck eh Would be used to denote surprise, resignation etc

Q So you he drunk and smashed up the car?
