If you’re Canadian you may understand the title of this post, if you are from Newfoundland Canada you for sure understand it.
My MIL is from Newfoundland, but I grew up with many friends from Newfoundland.
The dialect is still far beyond my scope even though I grew up around it. I speak fluent Portuguese too ( a little rusty as the years have passed on) but if someone from a different island then my parents speaks it, most goes over my head.
B’y is guy, guys, you, etc, pronounced BYE, to me it has a very Irish undertone, and unknown to me till recently the Newfoundland accent is actually thought to be developed over time from Irish immigrants there.
I made up some paper mummers to use for Christmas cards, mummers are a Christmas Newfoundland tradition were folk dress up in disguise and go visiting, the home owners feed and pour drinks as the mummers sit waiting to be identified, I’ve never participated in it but HOPE I WILL AT LEAST ONCE.
The ghost faces are the sheets often used as masks, not ghost heads at all.
I shared a few of my files in a group and was surprised to see many wanted the files.
I am starting the sharing of them today with this Easter mummer card.
HAPPY EASTER B’YS enjoy the files
Check back in May for some traditional mummer cut files
