“Who's yer father?” Funny PEI Saying “Who’s Yer Father?”: The Obligatory Introduction on Prince Edward Island (PEI) People from Prince Edward Island have no doubt picked up on where I’m going with the title of this one, but for those of you who don’t call PEI your home, then you may need a bit of an explanation. You see, “Who’s yer father?” is an iconic Prince Edward Island phrase, I’m not quite sure where it came from, however I do know that if you’ve had the good fortune to be introduced to (read: interrogated by) a dyed-in-the-wool Islander, then you’ve probably heard these three words, or some variation of them. To a certain extent, they equate to a “hello”, but they are to be taken literally. On an island where there is absolutely zero degrees of separation (seriously – just spend some time here and you’ll see), it was apparently agreed upon that the best way for two people to become acquainted with one another was to discuss their fathers. Because what ends up happening on PEI is that, if you talk long enough, you’re either related, or related to someone the other person knows, or have mutual friends. ~Source = peihistoryguy
