At least you're in the right dilect with the, "Eh".
I suppose I'll give it a shot.
In the GVR, there is a significant oriental population. More specifically largely from Hong Kong and much before that due to the railroads -one of those times that Canada really showed it's compassion
.
In any case, we have a lot of small businesses that opened up here due to the immgrants. However, english wasn't their forte. In an attempt to market themselves quite a lot of um... "funny" store names were born. Especially all the computer stores -we have a LOT of independents- like, fly, addax, a-power, rock, atic, aspert (pronouced very close to ass-spurt)... In any case, I attribute this to much the same. And yes, I've been called a racist for calling to attention such things. =(
It's okay, I'm not a racist, I hate everyone equally - to paraphrase someone I once knew.
