Is there not a word, pute or something, that means whore, though?

I hope you answered "Non, Murphy est Canadien, grosse slut." Don't look for slut in the french dictionary. It's the english word. I more just sat there pondering what the word for Newfie was. Murphy est newfoundlandais? punta is whore in spanish, I know that one

salope, pute, putain, vaurienne, chienne, vache, trainee, vulgaire and facile are all very polite and adorable words you don't use when talking about your mother. =o
"Poulain" though is just a baby pony.
We use Newfie in french too, but the real word is Terre-Neuvien, because Newfoundland in french is Terre Neuve. New Land.

you know, technically couldn't Murphy be Irish? Cause weren't the Irish the original settlers of Newfoundland? Well after the vikings landed there for a bit. Maybe I lie? I don't know, hence why I'm not taking a social studies degree.

We went over this before, guys. D;
Murphy is Canadian. The Irish weren't the first settlers of Newfoundland. Around the very early 1800's, lots of Irish moved to Canada, and they just ... spread like little rabbits, but they didn't really start anything. By then, most major Canadian cities were already pretty big for their time.
Just look at the dates, really. If Murphy was born in the 1850's, then maybe his grandfather or great-grandfather was Irish, but he's most probably Canadian.

Jones is only 'not sure'. And only about specifics on her comic. XD
We're here to remind her about what she's told us before.
We're the Jones Wiki!
