Inuit words for "snow"

In 'Merica, where i grew up . . . we had 500 ways to say "F*ck You, Joe ! ! !"

Whereas we are always quite certain of McTag's motives. (What the hell am I talking about?)

One can also snow someone about a situation or be snowed by someone else.

Snowing up North is a reference to a person having dandruff.
Snowing down South used to refer to a female with a bit of slip showing.

Snow falling can be described as flurries, as a steady snowfall, as a snowstorm or a full blown blizzard. I haven't mentioned Sleet because it is seen as a lesser cousin of snow, a kind of evil twin of rain.

Joe(Of all the words above, the two most interesting to me are "dandruff" and "blizzard")Nation

My cousin made a wonderful remark the other day. I said that Toronto was supposed to have the largest number of different nationalities in it. and she, quick as a flash, said:
"Oh I don't believe that, it's just that there are over a hundred different words for Inuit"!

The Great Inuit Vocabulary Hoax is anthropology's contribution to urban legends. It apparently started in 1911 when anthropologist Franz Boaz casually mentioned that the Inuit—he called them "Eskimos," using the derogatory term of a tribe to the south of them for eaters of raw meat—had four different words for snow. With each succeeding reference in textbooks and the popular press the number grew to sometimes as many as 400 words.

In fact, "Contrary to popular belief, the Eskimos do not have more words for snow than do speakers of English," according to linguist Steven Pinker in his book The Language Instinct. "Counting generously, experts can come up with about a dozen."
