Sorry OT
I can assure you that a real Quebecois would say Mange mes bobettes and not briefs... I know this first hand, I am one of those pesky French-Canadian.
It's Franglais!
Most of my friends spoke some version of Franglais, talking about going out for "le weekend". I got into a heated debate with my French teacher in high school, because I was sure "le char" was correct (my friends pronounced it like they were saying "car") and she was telling me I had to use "la voiture". "But, Madame, no one says that!"
She wouldn't accept l'auto, either. Too close to English, I think!
