Gradge is a Canadian slang pronunciation of garage, reflecting the way the word sounds in certain regional dialects — particularly in parts of Ontario and the prairies — where the second syllable gets softened and swallowed. It is the kind of word that marks a speaker's regional roots as surely as any accent, and Canadians who use it are often not even aware they are saying something distinctive until someone from outside the region raises an eyebrow.
He parked the snowblower in the gradge before the temperature dropped overnight.
