I have never heard any iteration of its pronunciation with an r. The main disagreement tends to be based on whether it's Chicago or Shicago

That could be true. The nuance to my ear is very minor I guess.

Is "shitbaked" actually a local term? I could've sworn I've heard that everywhere?

It's rather generic stoner talk.

Thanks for the dialect project link, Sig. I hadn't seen it before, now I'm going through the list for my hometown. This so far is quite accurate

I know what it means, but haven't heard it except in Nfld., but it could be?
It was common when I lived there (mainstream), but it also meant drunk.

I've heard some Americans appear to say "Chicargo", but probably because of their soft non rhotic "R"s.

Woah woah, there was a time when shitbaked meant drunk? I knew shitfaced meant drunk, but I wasn't aware of shitbaked #themoreyouknow

OK, sorry, I may have gotten them mixed up. LOL. They are similar. It's been awhile.

We say baked here as a synonym to high, but never with shit as a prefix.

Likewise. I've heard shitfaced for drunk and baked for high, but never shitbaked.

Had a conversation with someone yesterday and they were adamant that Maritimers were the only people in Canada that referred to paper used in school or binders as loose leaf. I remember hearing some Ontarians refer to it as line paper but i'm not sure how accurate this claim is.

SignalHillHiker · #**2573** Posted **Dec 12, 2016, 6:52 PM**

Haven't thought of that term in years, wow. We use it too, or at least did when I was in school.

*****

Really surprised shitbaked actually does seem to be local. I thought it was like "wicked" or whatever, something that went through a phase absolutely everywhere.

The term "loose leaf" was what we referred to for this sort of paper when I was in school here in Winnipeg.

Acajack · #**2575** Posted **Dec 12, 2016, 7:11 PM**

Didn't it say loose leaf right on the packaging?

GlassCity · #**2576** Posted **Dec 12, 2016, 7:15 PM**

We called it both loose-leaf and lined paper here.

What really matters is that the paper isn't bound, e.g., you can easily take it out of a binder or it will be perforated to be easily taken out of a book. Normally it is lined and has a left margin that is clearly shown. It's been ages since I've looked at paper like this but in the past the lines seemed to always be blue and the margin line was pink.

If you do a search you can find this paper at Staples, Amazon, etc. It's also referred to as filler paper.

Same for me, in K-W. Although I don't think I've heard it (or seen it) for many years.

Probably cause you don't shop for school supplies these days!

That would be true! My main memory of loose leaf is that, if you were a nervous kid with sweaty palms, the ink would bleed something awful. Foolscap was even worse.
