Never here that term used but I'm out west as well. We're all semi's, all the time.

"two-four" is there and can confirm that is more an eastern term as well. Never heard the term until I spent a year out in Ontario many years ago. Still hasn't really made its way to the west in all that time.



"Two-four" hasn't made its way out west because we call it a case of beer, and we already have "two-six", which is a 26oz bottle of liquor.


In Ontario "two-six" is called a twixer


It's a 750.


"Twixer" must be relatively new, or more specific regionalism. I've only known them to be called "twenty-sixers"


Same here. Also, 13 oz is a 'mickey', and the 3L is a "Texas mickey". (I noticed I did ounces and litres)


It made some inroads in to BC in the 80s, mostly thanks to Bob and Doug McKenzie, but never really stuck.


two-four has been established MB parlance for at least 50 years. But then MB isn't really Western Canada. Its central.


Yeah it’s a flat
