On the Ice Road Truckers a guy ends almost every sentence with "B'y". A google search says this is something common in the New Found Land. Are you familiar with this? Do you use it?

WTH?

Yes bye I do...lol New found land is spelled "Newfoundland"

It's sort of like Y'all used in the southern states.

Newfoundland has its own encyclopedia, with 1000's of words in it and thier meanings.

People who come to newfoundland from away can have a very tough time understanding local talk.
