Ferda
Canadian hockey slang shortened from 'for the boys,' popularized nationwide by the sitcom Letterkenny as a word for camaraderie and solidarity.
Definition
Ferda is a contraction of 'for the boys' (or 'for the girls'), used to describe doing something in solidarity with your group or to express teamwork and brotherhood, especially in hockey culture. It can stand alone as an affirmation ('ferda!') or modify an activity ('ferda boys').
History
Ferda has roots in Canadian hockey locker-room slang, but it was popularized nationally — and internationally among fans — by the Canadian sitcom Letterkenny, created by Jared Keeso, which is set in a fictional rural Ontario town and features a hockey-player storyline centered on starting a club called 'Ferda.' The show's eighth season even has an episode titled 'Ferda.'
