Featured Just because this was too cool.

Now there's a euphemism. (As pointed out, it begins with a consonant sound, so gets the article "a" there.)

Couldn't talk about verb conjugations lest it be confused with the prison visitations and relegated to the private fora? :laugh:

But ain't this cozy? We're laughing and slapping one another on the back after effectively shutting down the opposition to liberal politics. Ain't unity just grand! :laugh:

 

Not so fast Gentlemen

To quote my old granddad ...

"A day late and a dollar short." :laugh:

 

I knew "somthing was rotten in Denmark" being a "math" person though, I simply could not put my finger on it.

 

'Cuz we all know that it's not new and that it isn't normally acceptable language in polite company, it being a "ladies word" for certain types of ... shall we say ... "emotions"?
There, I said it.
Been wanting to since yesterday, but this being a celebration of our friend Padre's awesomeness, I didn't want to embarrass him.

 

Friend Owl from Bambi... "Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!"

This could also be mistaken for the so-called charismatic experience.

And as far as my awesomeness goes - embarrassment is not even on the menu. :tongue3:

 

That represents 1% of my initial reaction! :thumbsup:

So that's when they're "losing their minds" in the churches of our Pente ... oh, never mind.

 

ROFL!

 

Ain't even a word. Along wit hayna and haynit, Dough we ScranTONYAns do taaak a bit differently. Like 'melk' is white liquid from a cow & trees are what we find between twos and fours.

 

I believe you show great restraint in picking that particular portion of the post to mock. :laugh:

 

Half way between Scranton and Carbondale is a quaint little borough called Jermyn. That's where my mother took her first deep breath. What I learned from Mama.

1. Youins: singular and plural pronoun. Unlike y'all, which is singular, and all y'all the plural variant, youins can indicate one to an infinite number of people.

2. Bottle: Pronounced BOT-el. A container for pop. Pop is a carbonated beverage also known as soda or in Joja Coke .

3. Chimley: a device for drawing anthracite coal fumes from a furnace or any one of 21,000 residents of Singapore.​

 

You just did.

 

I couldn't do that without dangling my participle. We've been three pages twitterpating indefinite articles; redundant, euphemistic diphthongs and colloquial phrases. We are not ready for defining winter rats.

First of all, not every one has positive experiences with winter. Our friends in Joja had winter for three days this year. It may be too soon for them to relive the horror.

Second is the subject of rats. Some of my best friends are rats: Disney rats, Norway rats, lab rats, big rats, little rats, Dirty rats. They are vermin. Don't blame them. They were born that way.

Driving a 20 year-old car in foul weather brings no justice for winter or rats. Rats just want to spread disease without the rancor of the anti-rat element. You are heartless to breech the subject. It must come easy for someone who makes payments on a garaged car half the year while enlarging your carbon footprint.

 

First....God love your mother. And I laugh because dad was always tripped up by chimley....couldn't say it correctly.

 

Your dad couldn't pronounce the faux word chimley correctly?

 

Youins dropped a bot-el down the chimley. Makes perfect sense to EWF and me. :thumbsup:
