I don't know what that means.
For the first month I was here and it got to where are you from, everyone was shocked that I didn't have an accent. Until one prof said not to worry everyone thinks that anyone from the states has a southern accent. So when people asked why I didn't have an accent and the answer of "I never wanted one" wasn't good enough for them, I explained to them the two missouri's.
Yes, that's Atlantic Canada's trait, The west's trait is the lumberjack. The North the igloo, Quebec the french, Then the newfoundlanders are a trait of themselves.
It's just like the US and apple pies, hot dogs, and brats and phili cheese steaks, and tex mex. All came from somewhere else in the US, but all are "american traits".
