A loonie is our dollar coin (it has a loon on it hence the name). 
A toonie (or twonie) is our two dollar coin. It was adapted from loonie since "bearie" (there is a polar bear on it) just didn't sound as snappy.***I left a comment for her that I think only us girls would understand....here is what I typed to Allison:
"how funny... 1 "loonie" here means 1 "crazy" man... and "2 toonies" here, means - 2 lady breasts.... tee hee..."
Isn't that soooo true??!
Ok... sorry I haven't posted any creations yet. Today was a busy day. Sending out orders and then ironing & washing clothes... those of you that have been keeping up with me on my twitter - sorry if this is old news to you. I have 2 more hours before feed burner sends out their daily feed.... I also haven't had the chance to pair up people for the JT RAK yet - thanks for your patience!!!
Aloha,
I'm chuckling here Jen lol.
ReplyDeleteWe used to use the term looney here all the time also, and mom used to say to my bro, that he'd drive her to the looney bin LOL.
So, except for the $$ its all the same! We do love our loons which reside on all our lakes up north though. :) smiles
