A little Canadian "local" "COULEUR" (F/C spelling :o) Why are Canadian's
called Canucks?
Ummm. Ver-y In-ter-est-ing !!!
Standard dictionaries like Chambers and the Oxford English Dictionary don't
give an etymology.
Cassell's Dictionary of Slang and Eric Partridge's Dictionary of Slang and
Unconventional English think it may be a combination of 'Canadian' and
'Chinook', but this seems to be no more than a guess.
Cassell's also mentions a possible derivation through French from the
Hawaiian 'kanaka', meaning man, but it doesn't say why the French should
have transplanted a Hawaiian word to Canada.
