Talk:Newfoundland Screech

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Screech History link seems to be broken.

We need more info on screeching. For one, I've only ever heard it refered to as a "screech in", and never screeching. Also it might be fair to mention instead of kissing a cod many bars offer the option of kissing a toy Puffin on the rear (since cod are often out of season or hard/expensive to keep on hand). The sayings would be fair to mention as well. I was at a screch in this weekend at Trapper John's in Georget Stret St. John's, and two of the saying were "long may your big jib draw" and "how're ye gettin on me cocky?". Also, traditionally I believe the participant is given a sou'wester hat and a newfoundland flag or pin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.251.65.192 (talk) 23:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
