Sharing bits of Canada 'eh🇨🇦<p>🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Gitch/Ginch</p><p>Primarily heard in Western Canada, 'gitch,' 'ginch,' or 'gotchies' are slang for underwear. This quirky term is thought to have Ukrainian roots, derived from the word 'gatky' (ґатки), which means pants or briefs. Its adoption into prairie slang is a direct result of the linguistic influence of Ukrainian immigration on regional Canadian English. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CanadianSlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianSlang</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/WordOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WordOfTheDay</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Prairies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Prairies</span></a></p><p><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gitch" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gitch</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
