    "Jigged", as in "they jigged class" (skipped class). I am from Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick) and I have not heard that word used anywhere else.

    The only ones I can think of are for name calling..like fart-knocker and dillweed.

    haha! I specifically remember my dad using fart-knocker a lot when I was little. and the old "pull my finger" routine. If we did something bad he's ask "do you wanna get thumped" meaning he's gonna give you a finger flick to the forehead that'll make you blue screen and reboot basically. it hurt!

    I remember when people would make a statement and then pause and add "not". eg. "You're so funny...not!"
