Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 11, 2022

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Do Canadians commonly use the word "bloody?" Jordan Peterson uses it often, and Kulak uses it in his most recent substack post. Some Googling suggests that some Canadians "never use it" while other "might use it instead of saying 'fucking'." I always associated it with British/Aussie/Indian/other British imperial possession's dialects. Is it something people say in Canada?

Not unless you're a first-generation immigrant from those places.

That said, I don't live in the part of Canada the stereotypical accent applies to in the first place; it might be more naturally prevalent in the East.
