The Euro Brothers...............

The Swamp was all in a tizzy,
Their bubbles were all ‘bout to burst
They called upon Chief Princess Lizzy,
And the Hildebeast(which one was the worst?)
From the seething depths of the mire,
From Which Noisome Vapors did usher,
They Called out their agent most dire,
The Loathsome Roorback from Russia”!
The Roorback, disguised as a Dossier,
Was rumored to have magik Powers.
With a make-over, his story made glossier,
Would horrify with golden showers.
But though the Roorback was expert in lying,
And making up stories that shock,
he hasn’t yet learned that the Accuser
Is the one who will end up in the dock.
“What goes around comes around” is the saying.
“What you reap is what you sow” is another I love.
To find out what game the Left is playing.
Just ask what they are accusing YOU of.

[SFConservative]

Word for the day haiku:

Lamestream media,
is now a roorback machine;
truth and facts be damned.

[Red Badger]

Yes it is............A++++!............

[Red Badger]

Dossier and glossier don’t rhyme, but A+++! anyways for poetic license!...................

[left that other site]

They do if you come from Bahston.

[Red Badger]

They pronounce glossier as gloss-ee-ay?...............

[left that other site]

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

That’s gonna leave a mark.

They don't use marks any more. They use euros................

LMAO!!!

Bahstonese is a very complex linguistic genus that has many sub-groupings called "NAY-bah-hoods," arranged in rough geographic enclaves based upon the ethnic and socio-economic make-up, based upon shifting patterns of immigration, upward-mobility, real-estate speculation, and politics. Each Naybahhood has a distinct vocabulary, cadences, and list of common idiomatic expressions, so it is actually possible to determine if the speaker is from JP, Eastie, Southie, or even Hyde Paahk. There are, however, certain pronunciations and phrases that are common to all the Naybahhoods that identify the speaker as being from Bahston.

Here is a sentence that when read, is instantly identifiable as Genus Bahstonese, Naybahhood Hyde Paahk (My origin):

Yiz frum Bahston? Jeez...that's Wicked Pissa. Let's go out fer a couple o Beeyahs...they got free Pahking behind Fenway Pahk, and da Soxer away tonight so there's nuthin doin. We can just bang a Yooie over by the CITGO Sign, and If we don't get cahded at the pakkie we can get wikkid sh*tfaced!"

Thus ends today's Lesson! LOL!

My best friend in the Marines was from Boston.

I learned his language and he learned English.................

[left that other site]

LOL...what Naybahhood?

[Red Badger]

Don’t recall, but his dad was a retired Navy ADMIRAL.

This was back in the 70’s, and I remember him telling me there were a lot of ethnic neighborhoods around and one of the largest, at that time, was Portuguese.

He told me that if you were not a Port-a-gee, you did not go or even pass thru these neighborhoods..................

Actually, the largest Port-a-gee enclave was (and still is to a certain extent) the fishing and whaling cities of New Bedford and Fall River. They are south of Bahston by about 30 miles or so, and can probably be considered “Paaht” of the Greater Bahston Area.

In the 70’s, it looked like this:

Roxbury-Black
Dorchester-Jewish, Blue-Collar Irish, then Black
Mattapan-Jewish, then Black, then Jamaican
South Boston(Southie) Irish
East Boston-Italian
Hyde Park-Italian, Irish, then Haitian and Black, then “Gentrified”
Jamaica Plain-Irish, then Black, then Hispanic, then Gay, now gentrified
Roslindale-Greek, Syrian, Lebanese
North End-First Irish, then Jewish, then BIG TIME Italian, now Gentrified but still with Italian Flavor
Beacon Hill-Boston Brahmans, Hippies in the 60’s, now Rich Folks
Back Bay-Intelligentsia, Students, Jazz Musicians, etc.
Brighton/Allston-Mostly students
Brookline (a separate town) Mostly Jewish
West Roxbury-A wealthier version of Roslindale, one ZIP Code away.

(This is by no means an extensive list, but shows how Bahston has changed over the years.

I watch “This Old House” and “New Yankee Workshop” on PBS a lot on rainy weekends. The accents bring back memories.................

[left that other site]

I like those shows too.

here’s a good one:

What is the name of the thoroughfare that runs from Downtown Bahston, through Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, the Town of Milton, Hyde Park, Reedville, and continues as Rt. 28 eventually to Cape Cod?

The answer is:

Blool-elabNYAH.

(Spelled “Blue Hill Avenue”)

[Red Badger]

I had another friend from NYC and there were a lot of guys in my unit from there as well. I got to where I could tell what part of the city you came from, and still can, mostly, even though I wear a hearing aid in my right ear and am deaf in my left ear.

I recently tried it again at a local store my wife and I shop at.

We were talking to the check-out clerk lady and I said, “What part of the Bronx are you from?” Her eyes got real big and said, “How did you know?” Then I told her about my friends in the Marines........

"Where are we gonna go in the Roorback machine, Mr. Peabody?"

"Well Sherman, today we're going to find another fake dossier against President Trump…"

Indeed. New York Accents are very similar to Boston Accents, in that one can pinpoint the Burrough or Neighborhood from which it originates.
