Funny sayings

people in the south delete complete syllables from words- even the middle syllables.

and they eat pig's feet and chitlins.

and they do not say "what?" they say "huh?"

and they make the word "on" sound like the same sound as in "telephone"- in other words, own and on are pronounced the same

EDIT: But in the South you can get away from alcohol. In CA, I cannot. It is @ the end of the milk aisle in the supermarket, in addition to the alcohol section of the store, which just happens to always be the nicest section as far as decor. And alcohol is in my drugstore- and I do not mean rubbing alcohol. And advertised on the drive home from work each day on the radio. It is EVERYWHERE!!! And you can buy it 24 x 7 x 365.

I think I need to go live in Pakistan.

What is a chip shop Garden Girl? I love the way people in England say they are going on Holiday...it sounds so much more fun than just a vacation! One of the reasons I can't bring myself to take Kudzu, is that it grows all over the place here. Up telephone polls, trees, and anything in its path. Its terrible stuff.

Funny sayings

In the South it seems like "ya know" gets injected in every sentence.
It is not unheard of to end every sentence with, "ya know what I mean?"

It gets, ya know, annoying after awhile, ya know what I mean?

[Finding My Self]

Funny sayings

In the (real) West Country of UK (like right down in the tip of the SW peninsula!) women call each other 'Petal', 'Flower' and both sexes say 'Ma Booty' - as in, "Alright, Ma Booty?". (I don't tend to feel that 'bootiful' (beautiful!) at that!!)

[beatle]

Funny sayings

I spent most of my childhood in the US. After moving away, I kept in touch with friends, --more and more I found their expressions puzzling. One thing I remember is that when I was little, "no way" meant, well, that's just not gonna happen. But after a while, I started to hear it used to mean "wow, really?" after being told something unusual-- kind of like "you're kidding!"
