Oh! Sorry! *self flagellates with clue stick*
No, dude, I can see the confusion - no flagellation necessary!

Wait, you only had one option underneath 'all of the above'? I wonder if they shuffle them randomly? I had 'all of the above' as the first answer, and then three more below it.
What's 'skookum'?
"Give 'er" is huge in rural Ontario. At least, it was five years or so ago - it's faded out a little lately. Was it in a movie or TV show or something?
Skookum means strong, or sturdy. Like, "The wind was fierce, but it was a skookum shed and there was no damage."

Yup, but not just rural. It was very common among my cohort in Calgary. But not just to indicate effort. It also meant "go ahead" or "help yourself."Give 'er was really common in rural Alberta twentysomeodd years ago.
