toonie - $2 coin, from loonie - $1 coin, var moonie (queen on the front with a bear behind)
chesterfield - sofa, not cigarette
toque - knitted winter hat, rapidly becoming standard hipster mid-summer attire
chocolate bar - candy bar
mickey - 375 ml bottle of alcohol
eavestrough - rain gutter
the letter zed - often used in comic strips to denote snoring

and lastly,
