Fred is one of those older colorful gents you could talk to all day.<\/p>\n<p>Fred shared an apartment with a roommate who took off with the rent. Fred was lucky because he never spent any time on the streets. After he was evicted he found housing with the Salvation Army.<\/p>\n<p>If you find it kind of hard to understand Fred that&#8217;s because he speaks <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Newfoundland_English\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Newfoundeeze&#8221;<\/a>.\u00a0 The people of Newfoundland pride themselves on being the nicest people in Canada, and they have developed their own slang language. Fred was kind enough to give us a few lessons.<\/p>\n<p>I still don&#8217;t get &#8220;Bob&#8217;s your uncle&#8221; but it sure is fun to say.
