You asked for a response. I haven't heard "chaps my ass" in years. I don't think it's really still around.
Yes, I live in Alberta. (sometimes that chaps my ass)

There's another project for you! This list is out of date and a little Ontario-centric. Not to mention they haven't said anything about *skinny* or how to separate the inside from the outside of a twonie.

Here on the left coast we have others:
*Chuck*- The ocean or sometimes just large bodies of water.
*Skookumchuck*- Very good, as in *Everything is just Skookum!* or *How is everything?* (answer) *Skookumchuck!*
*Chinook*- Not the warm wind of the praries, but a particularly large kind of Pacific Salmon.
