Gelatina? In the morning? Not for me

Can't necessarily blame you for that. Part of my family is from France; they still live there, but apparently "Jello" is not sold there last I checked. I was not expecting Jello to be an exclusive, lol.

Here in Quebec, we often name stuff by brands and not by their actual name.
For example, we very rarely talk about "gelatina", we always talk about jello
Mac'n'cheese, we often call that "Kraft Dinner", even if it's not made by kraft.
We often talk about "tupperware" for food containers, even if they are not made by "tupperware"

That's a phenomenon *exclusive* to Quebec. No one in the world does that.

Really? I mean, are you being sarcastic or...?

No, I am not. Quebecians are the only people in the world that do that.

Apparently, that's not the only thing we are the only ones to do. From what I've heard 90% of people in the world use either scato (poop realted) or sexual word as swears. Here in Quebec, we do use these as well, but they are very soft swearing words. Our actual swears are church words.

Yes, he's being sarcastic. It's called a "generic name/term" like how sticky tape is referred to as "sellotape" and sticky notes are "post-its" and photocopying is "xeroxing" and self-adhesive bandages are band-aids and so on.

Kind of interesting to see how different cultures view vulgarity. The South Korean veterans remind me a bit of people I met in Japan; if they outright say to someone that they are rude and disrespectful, it means someone just set them off.

One of my instructors told a U.S. marine to specifically tone it down against a teenage kid in a session; he ignored that and knocked the kid out. So then the next day when the U.S. Marine walked in, he said calmly to him, "put on your gloves". The Marine knew what was about to happen; his ribs were shattered to pieces and he was out cold in one shot that required many weeks to get get out of the hospital for. Not one vulgarity was used by my instructor.
