Definitions
A slang and sometimes derogatory alternative spelling of 'Québécois' — used to refer to French Canadians from Quebec. The 'Kebe-' spelling mocks or parodies the Québécois pronunciation of Quebec (which sounds closer to 'Kebek' than the English 'Kwi-bec'). Whether the term is neutral or derogatory depends heavily on who is using it and in what context. Can be used by Québécois themselves with humor or by others as a gentle or pointed dig.
A few of the Kebecois at the table were barely following the English conversation but laughing along anyway.

- Canuckistani62%
A slang term for a Canadian, formed by adding the mock-geopolitical suffix '-istani' (as in Pakistan, Afghanistan) to 'Canuck,' a common informal term for Canadians. The effect is both humorous and mildly satirical, giving Canada the name of a fictional authoritarian state. It can be used affectionately as self-deprecating humour by Canadians themselves, or as gentle ribbing by Americans and others. The term is considered derogatory in some contexts, particularly when used by non-Canadians to imply something unflattering about Canadian politics or culture.
