Skirt on Sunday; Pants on weekdays

"No... I didn't see it on this thread.. but knowing the history of these types of threads on BB over the last 5 yrs... I thought it would be wise to give this tidbit as preventive maintenance! lol"

I couldn't believe I had read that far into the thread without coming across something! PMaint is always good! :thumbs:

 

this is how I am. Mainly skirts in summer, usually no pants at all. More pants in winter then skirts, but still wear skirts as long at it ain't 0 degrees with a foot of snow. And I may wear a skirt or pants any day of the week. It all depends on what I am doing, weather or really wind conditions too.
Yesterday we left for church and the weather was fine, by the time we got there though it was really windy (our share of Ike hit yesterday), I had to hold my skirt bunched up in my hand walking across the parking lot.
And opposite of saggy, I don't like to wear dresses, they don't look right on me. I much prefer skirts. I do however own one or two dresses.

 

Judgement is properly spelled "judgement" in any standard English dictionary..........."prolly" is standard English slang in East London and most of England. There are prolly many English words you have never seen in a Webster's dictionary,, such as wotcher,, going johnny jack.....or having Tommy with bangers and mash....or even try going apples sometime.

Oh my. 'Tis enough to drive me bonkers!

Cheers,

Jim

 

By the way, I have worn a gown to church on Sunday. Does that count?

Cheers,

Jim

 

One of my favorite English (as opposed to American) expressions is how a girl might ask someone she likes to "come around and knock me up in the morning." An old WW II vet told me about that one and some of the misunderstandings it could cause.

 

Lbaker...A knocker is a professional in London who goes about "knocking" people up in the morning. A human alarm clock.

When I first came to America and was attending the University of Chicago, I had a three bedroom flat (apartment). A young lady arrived too late to find a hotel vacancy and so I offered to "bed her for the night." She slapped my face and went her way. She told another English bloke about what I said and he explained it simply meant that I would provide a place for her to stay the night. She apologized and laughed.

Each country does have its own "slanguage" doesn't it?

Cheers,

Jim
PS. One might also add the express to "keep your pecker up!....It simply means to keep smiling in England.

 

It sure does! LOLOL! My son-in-law is in England working for a few months right now. When he comes back I'll have to ask him did he "keep his pecker up". LOL.

 

Sorry, double post. See below.

 

Are you saying that the KJV is therefore in error when it spells this word with only one "e"?

(That ought to open up a real can of worms for some of our die hard KJVO friends here on BB!) :smilewinkgrin:

 

"Judgement is properly spelled "judgement" in any standard English dictionary."

It is only a variant spelling in Webster here, the preferred is no "e" according to one of my college profs. that detracted from my project for using your spelling :laugh:

He`s PROLLY right ...... :laugh: what do you say, Jim 1999 ?:wavey: good to see you my friend. I read this word in your posts many years ago, and have adopted it into my vocabulary,much to my sisters amusement. Every time I say it she repeats it after me, and says "where did you get that from?". it rolls of the tongue beautifully, just like the Welsh does

 

Attention to all Baptist Board Readers!

Attention to all Baptist Board readers!

There have been reports of one or more person or persons unknown, who are posing as traffic cops and are driving around and intercepting individuals, and claiming to be a member of something called LANGUAGE POLICE. Be on the lookout for such individuals who are likely driving a vehicle, such as the one seen here.



Said individual may appear along this manner, as well.





Accept no substitutes! Language Cop is a 'plain-clothes' detective.

I strongly urge you to not pay any heed to any of these imposters "on wheels," but report them to the real Language Cop.

Examples of real types of conveyance for Language Cop shall follow, shortly, in Part II.

Signed, Language Cop

Attention to all Baptist Board Readers, Part II

As promised, here are the examples of the means of conveyances, that one may find operated by Language Cop, when he is not on 'foot patrol.'










One will not find Language Cop driving a police car, I repeat.

Incidentally, either "judgment" or "judgement" is acceptable spelling, although the first is to be preferred slightly in the United States.

"Prolly" is merely a slang term that has arisen in the last twenty years, or so, and while someone may not like the sound of it in their ears, that alone does not make it an improper usage, unlike the misspelling of a word in such an instance such as if one were to misspell "probably" as "probubly" which would be an improper usage.

Language changes constantly, and is not forever dependant on a current usage, at or from any given time. Words such as 'tractor' or 'truck' did not exist in any form 150 years ago, 'television' was not around a 100 years ago, and 'computer' is only about 50 years old, to name a few, all of which were "slang" or "shorthand" words when coined, and certainly were not standard words, yet are regularly used "standard" words today.

you are correct , language cop, and , it`s a lovely word :laugh: :laugh:

 

Ah, EdSutton. Once you've righted the BB and start getting bored, come on over to WV. We'll keep you busy for hours. . .:laugh: Only here you get to ride an ATV.

 

Yes, and by your post they haven't necessarilly changed for the better ?

 

:laugh: :laugh:

I didn't vote because my view was not listed -- I generally think women should wear skirts or dresses on Sunday, but I think it's okay to wear pants if they are nice looking. And I think age and one's figure has something to do with it, too, as well as the church itself and where it's located.

Too many women who wear pants look horrible in them. They would look much better in skirts or dresses.

 

ewwwww. I like skirts and can't stand dresses

 

You still won't catch me in either one!!

 

Well for preaching I prefer a dress, but the rest of the week a skirt suits me fine





Sorry
