"Transcendental meditation," co-host Monica Padman clarified.

Twain then blew everyone's minds with her response about growing up in the Great White North.

"I will tell you, don't use a lot of abbreviations 'cause I'm not good at those," she advised her hosts. "It's not really a Canadian thing. I did not grow up with abbreviations."

She explained, "When I came to the states, that was one of the biggest things. I felt so lost. Everybody was abbreviating! I would be the dummy. One time I would go, 'What's FYI?'"

"I'm not even kidding," she added. "Which makes me feel very uncool."
