"Could the term "dry" mean something different in Canadian slang?"

I looked up dry in my Liberal Canadian-American dictionary and it says "dry" means "moron" in Liberal Canadian, which is a dialect used by the elite in Canada. My Conservative Canadian-American dictionary says "dry" means "smart, witty, but tough".

I see. Well, since we all speak Conservative here, I'll take that headline about our President to be a true one, then. Thanks for clearing that up.
