Default Speech

I have enjoyed reading these post, my mother is from a small town in PA, and uses several of these in her speech. I think it is an Irish/Scottish thing as her family is from Ireland. One of my favorite is "He talks at random like a goose shi--ing by moonlight" for someone who is running off at the mouth. Another one she uses often is "He talks like a man with a paper A--." Diane

Heheheheee!

Default Southern slang

This is one of my favorites. I feel like a redworm with the crap slung out of it. Meaning that I am very, very tired.

jillianp is on a distinguished road
just moved to tn 3 weeks ago from michigan.
the only one ive gotten more than once is "no darlin we sure dont" its such a nice way to say no. i love it.
and ordering fast food can be an ordeal! lol.
but everyone says were hard to understand with our michigan accent.
the u.p.s man even said something...i told him my dad works for u.p.s im michigan..then said 'yup' he stopped, slowly turned with a big ol grin and said 'yup yup..thats a northen thing'
i quickly called my dad to let him know as he always made fun of me for saying it. yup and nuh-uh. were from a big irish family so that connection makes sence to me!


my favorite though is the story about the hair in the bread...who could be mad after that?!
*sorry i didnt quote it, im computer illiterate*
