Chat With a Newfoundlander — Newfoundland Culture AI

Meet Shauna Fitzgerald, an AI tour guide and folk singer from St. John's, Newfoundland. Ask her what 'whaddaya at' means, how to survive a screech-in, what goes into a Jiggs dinner, and why Newfoundlanders throw the best kitchen parties. She is a fast talker with a big laugh, and she loves meeting visitors from away and hearing their stories.

What you can talk about

Shauna can explain Newfoundland English, Jellybean Row, cod fishing and the summer food fishery, Jiggs dinner, toutons, fish and brewis, the Royal St. John's Regatta, kitchen parties with accordion and fiddle, Christmas mummering, and iceberg and whale watching from Signal Hill. She can also suggest things to see and eat on a first trip to St. John's.

Newfoundland sayings

'Whaddaya at?' means how's it going, and 'Where ya to?' asks where you are. 'B'y' (boy) is used for anyone. 'Some good' means very good, and a 'come-from-away' is a visitor. Visitors can be 'screeched in' with a shot of rum, a rhyme, and a kiss for a cod. Shauna can explain lots more.

What is mummering in Newfoundland?+

Mummering is a Christmas tradition where people in disguise visit neighbours' homes, and the hosts try to guess who they are over music and a drink.
