Sharing bits of Canada 'eh🇨🇦🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Gitch/GinchPrimarily 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">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CanadianSlang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CanadianSlang</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/WordOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WordOfTheDay</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Prairies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Prairies</a><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gitch" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gitch</a>

Author-ized L.J." <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/Navajo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Navajo</a> babies . . . typically weren’t given names until they have their first laugh. . . . But why wait until they laugh?"Navajos are great observers, so when it came to newborns – and this is supported to modern data on infant mortality – the period between birth and the first laugh is most critical. Without prenatal care or modern monitoring technology, the first laugh was the best marker for Navajos to judge survival. When baby laughs, it’s a sign that she has found a very important lifeline – laughter itself."Of course, when baby first laughs, a celebration – or ceremony – is held. The one to make baby laughs has the responsibility of making the event happen, because it is said that baby will inherit qualities of that person – and there’s no better trait than generosity." - from Navajo <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/WordOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WordOfTheDay</a>, awéé' "baby" <a href="https://navajowotd.com/word/awee/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://navajowotd.com/word/awee/</a> <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#language</a> <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indigenous</a>
