@attoparsec it appears based on preliminary investigation that the "girlfriend in Canada" of the English-speaking world is actually England.
Just gotta figure out how to turn this into a systematic and multi-lingual approach.

@markgritter @attoparsec When I was in grad school at the University of Kentucky it was "girlfriend in Ohio" which was hilarious because I actually did have a girlfriend in Ohio :D

Google Translate offers "petite amie" in French but that doesn't result in any n-gram hits, "copine" is a better result but may not hit the same note. And most girlfriends are... also English?
