Anglia Canadiana:

I'm wearing a toque, drinking my pop sitting on the chesterfield, and eating a chocolate bar!

The swamper was hucking skookum rocks at a toboggan from the bathroom.

(The truck-driver's assistant was throwing large stones at a flat-bottomed sled from the restroom.)

But chesterfield, hucking and skookum are vanishing words. I haven't heard any of them in years except in conversations like this.

True, true

But, as we know, when people become interested and engaged the topic develops.

I see you have edited your initial post as " waste of time".
Hmm, maybe if on the surface of having the simple question answered - but you have certainly put your finger on something that engages - and in that aspect is certsinly not a waste of time.
I thank you for (unintendingly) bringing up the issue

I have to agree with Patrick. Thank you for bringing up this topic. I'm quite enjoying the discussion.

You still hear chesterfield in antique circles in the UK but I have never heard of hucking and skookum. Rocks are large stones so does skookum rocks mean enormous rocks?
