Ambassador of Canada, born in Toronto, working in Ottawa, translating southern US slang

Being up here in Ottawa, I learned a few new words (thanks to my new american amigo PJ Clark)

LUSH - n. the party person in your crew that drinks a lot
You're a lush. (i.e. Jenn, you're a lush)

DISCO NAP - n. a nap that clubbers, in particular the disco/house kids, take before they start dancing the night away (or in between songs to regroup when they are tired from dancing?).. basically a nap that's 20 min long but s'pposed to feel like a few hours worth of sleep.
synonyms: power nap

GEORGIA RED CLAY - n. some red playdough-like clay that comes from Southern Georgia.
She's as dumb as a ball of georgia red clay


Also some cool facts:
-milk does the body NO good
(ameya can explain this pretty well... ask him)
-Boxing day is a canadian thing... Other people call it 'The Day After Christmas'
