I've been calling my part-Inuit, Canada-obsessed boyfriend "Nantook" after this Jim Carrey stand-up bit about Canada.
I've scoured the net for it, but I can't seem to find it and I'm thinking Carrey just made it up. It looks and sounds an awful lot like Nanook, which I know means "polar bear." I've tried all sorts of different spellings, such as "Nantuck" and "Nantuk," but got nothing of interest.
I was just wondering if this is real or a product of Jim Carrey's twisted mind (or possibly he misspoke)?
If it's real, what does it mean? Is it just a variation of Nanook?
