I was doing some laundary at the Dryertheatre (Laundromat), I saw a poster for a Stamp Collection / Show in the city of Barrie. There was a word that caught my eye on the poster.
The Title of the poster read,
"50th Annual Barrie Stamp Show & Bourse"
What Did Bourse Mean to me?
When I saw the word Bourse, I thought they mis-typed the word Course. In my Eyes the poster should have read, "50th Annual Barrie Stamp Show & Course." I thought that the Annual Barrie Stamp show was offering a course on stamp collecting and exchange for beginners.
What doese Bourse mean?
Bourse may be refered to an exchange (Organized market), or a stamp show without exhibits (dealers only),

Keep your Ears to the Tracks for more weird words that I may come across.
