Jerry got screeched in Christian’s Bar
Newfoundland Screech is used in a ceremony known as the “screech-in”. The “screech-in” is a ceremony performed on non-Newfoundlanders (known to Newfoundlanders as a “come from away” or “mainlander”) involving a shot of screech, a short recitation, and the kissing of a cod. It is often performed either in homes or more commonly in town pubs, such as those on George Street, St. John’s. Notable for their screech-in traditions are Trapper John’s,[2] O’Reilly’s Irish Newfoundland Pub and Christian’s Bar.[3] Screech-ins also take place aboard tourist boat excursions such as the Scademia, which adds to the ceremony a sail through The Narrows into St. John’s harbour.[citation needed]
Terranova Screech se utiliza en una ceremonia conocida como “chirrido”. El “chillido” es una ceremonia realizada por personas que no son de Terranova (conocida por los habitantes de Terranova como “venidos de lejos” o “continentales”) que implica un disparo de chillido, una breve recitación y el beso de un bacalao. A menudo se realiza en hogares o, más comúnmente, en pubs de la ciudad, como los de George Street, St. John’s. Destacados por sus tradiciones chillonas son Trapper John’s,[2] O’Reilly’s Irish Newfoundland Pub y Christian’s Bar.[3] Los chirridos también tienen lugar a bordo de excursiones en barcos turísticos como el Scademia, que añade a la ceremonia un paseo a través de The Narrows hasta el puerto de St. John.
