T for Tuesday

 T Stands For is hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard


Toronto ON

Friday July 1 is CANADA DAY!




Toronto neighbourhoods


Close up of Double Double

Ever stood in line at Tim Hortons and heard people ordering a “double-double” coffee? or maybe even a “triple-triple”?

The phrase double-double literally means coffee with two creams and two sugars. A variant of the phrase is “triple-triple”, which again literally means coffee with three creams and three sugars. Thus commonly used when ordering coffee only.

Here in Canada, we use slang terms like Double-Double, Loonie/Toonie (dollar and two dollar coins), Twig (hockey stick), and Tims/Timmes (Tim Hortons).




Toronto also known as TO.

    Double double here would puzzle staff. One double would mean a double shot espresso. I try to limit my doubles....coffee at least.

    I actually like the double double and triple triple slang. All the great mugs too. I like collecting mugs. I just don't have room to store them any more. LOL Have great day today.

    I love ALL those mugs. EH? So clever. EH? The Double Double had me smiling, and I especially loved the ones from various neighborhoods. These are some incredible mugs, Jackie. Thanks for sharing them and reminding others about Canada Day on July 1 for T this Tuesday.

    Love the mugs, all of them. Double double sounds funny. I don't like sugar, but it always gets served together with the drink here. Valerie

    Oh I do like all these Canada mugs. I have heard of a double double, and I had to smile at the curling mug. These are lots of fun. Happy T day Jackie. hugs-Erika

    Such a great collection of mugs. I spent a summer in P.E.I. and I loved Tim Horton's cappuccino's. My hubby would love a double double as that is the way he orders it at Dunkin Donuts.
    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

    Those mugs are fabulous, eh? 😉I especially like the curling mug. If curling were easy they would call it hockey. Too funny. Happy T Day!

    Educational! Thank you! I would never be ordering any double double or triple triple though as I take coffee black if I drink it. Happy T day.
