What's The Word?

South Africa and Canada share English as a first language so you would think communication here would be a breeze.

Not so much.

Each day -- without fail -- Justin and his friends and family are forced into a position of explanation once our conversation comes to an abrupt halt and they are met with a furrowed brow and confused blank stare from this freckled-faced North American.

Well, let's see how you fare. Try to match up these South African words with their Canadian equivalent.

ANSWERS:

1. Packet = Plastic Bag
2. Kokie = Marker
3. Howzit = Hello
4. Pip = Fruit Pit
5. Jersey = Sweater
6. Sammie = Sandwich
7. Bukkie = Truck
8. Robot = Traffic Light
9. Vienna = Hot Dog

And may I also add that they say "just now" instead of "later". 

Example: "Hey, do you want to go to the movies?" 

               "Yes, let's go just now." 

Talk about confusing!! They tell me I am supposed to use context to understand the difference, but really now. Impossible.
