In Canada aren't those linguistic variations "oat" and "aboat".  That's the
way I heard it anyway.

This is *very* true - and it also counts that she's from Spanish Fark
(Fork), notorious in Utah for the peculiarity of their speech patterns.
Although, my other Grandma has also never lived anywhere else but Utah and
she doesn't "go with" or use "farks" either. ;-))))))))))))))

I do so love the linguistic variations still out and about in the world!

Well, the early Utah settlers recruited people from all over the world, let
alone the rest of the country, so it's not surprising that a variety of
idioms still exist. And my grandma died over 20 years ago at the age of 92,
so maybe it's not a current expression there anymore.

Hah! "Y'know" was *invented* in the San Fernando valley in Southern
California. I believe you Brits have your own version, a contraction of
"do you know" as well, but the rest of that "like, whatever", etc. is
pure valley-speak!
