"Me Ole Cock" Tee — Newfinese Classic Collection

"Me Ole Cock" Tee — Newfinese Classic Collection 

$35 CAD

A proper Newfoundland greeting that'll raise an eyebrow on the mainland — but on the Rock, it's pure affection, b'y.

WHAT IT MEANS Me ole cock is one of Newfoundland's oldest and friendliest terms of endearment — it means "my old friend," "my buddy," "my dear old pal." How are ya, me ole cock? is just a warm hello between mates, no different than calling someone "buddy" or "luvver." The phrase came over with the West Country English settlers centuries ago and stuck around on the island long after it faded elsewhere. Of course, the rooster on the front knows exactly what it's doing — the joke lands twice as hard for anyone not from here, which is half the fun of wearing it.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
