Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Southern Sayings

What about "witch" I thought about that one also but it would take away from the meaning and spelling.

Big Pond, I hear where you're coming from, but isn't that rather mild among a bunch of adults? Take a look at what the over the air network TV and radio shows are pumping out to our kids and grandkids. Start a Crusade where it is needed; I will gladly join in.

Burger in Big Ponds defense when he read it b--ch it had all the letters. I have no problem with his comment

OK, I gotcha. Still though, just look around, walk thru the mall, or by a school, what you hear is disgusting.

I've heard truck drivers say they had a truck that wouldn't pull a greasy string out of a cat's butt.

Around my area, if a business owner was not known to do honest business and/or was notoriously expensive, the term "lyin" is used before their name. Ex. Lyin' George.

I'd post somethin' more significant but I'm busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest right now.

BM :

I thought about the edit before I did it. Bill is a great guy and I think the world of him and he is a true gentleman. He knows if he needs my help he has it with no hesitation. If this was a publicly owned forum and no kids there would have been no edit by me. But it is not and there are kids. We have been instructed - no bad language and I am compelled to do what I said I would. BTW there are controls even on the sources like TV . Ask the TV network if they liked paying a very large fine ($550,000) for not being sure that J. Jackson kept her body parts covered in her Super Bowl act. I do agree with you that what we hear all around us is sometimes disgusting. Thankfully though we do not have to be that way or join in the trip to the lowest common denominator.

Ewest, now I see the chronology of the posts. You edited 2 hrs. after Bill posted, and 1 hr. after Big Pond posted his regret. I thought Bill had put the blanks in. Man, how did we get so many Southern Sayings in without any other moderating. I feel like I may have slipped one by. Good to see CB1 kicking in with a good 'un.
Hey MR.s moderators, why dont my grimlins go where I want them to?

thanks Eric

Don' forgit anything that ends with 'ow' really is just 'r'. yah I caught them crappie with sum' menners; open the winder let sum' air in; that ther' widder lady. I'm thinking of deducting my vacations to the South from my taxes. As a teacher I may be able to claim I'm learning a second language! :p

Teach, just my opinion, but some of us would argue that you already speak a second language and are travelin South for edification in proper enunciation.

I didn't kner that!
