no one in the states that I know of uses the term 'clicker box'. I got it from Mom and Eddie Rearden ("Give me the GD clickerbox!")

"How come"? Yeah, but then we used to be able to spend Canadian coin in this state at par until 10-15 years ago.

Some friends of mine and I went to San Francisco and were paying for something and there was a Canadian nickel in the change we were trying to pay with. "What's That?" screamed the shop girl. "Fuck off, eh! It's just a nickel from Canada, ya hoser," was our retort
