And it is fin de semaine and not 'weekend', too.

    Joyeux festin, not "happy meal".
    Stationnement, not "parking".
    Course à pied, not "du footing".
    Magasinage, not "shopping".
    Téléphone intelligent, not "smartphone".

    And yet Quebecois will stop you in the street and say "t'as une smoke ?"

    Looks like ordiphone is accepted, but I honestly never heard that. Everybody simply calls that a "téléphone" in Québec, and advertisements usually use "téléphone intelligent".
