Here’s some funnies because it's how we talk.
B’daydas You can serve them mashed, or whipped, or boiled. And fried and baked and grilled. Yummy.
Breakdown Lane Highway shoulder. Also, an oxymoron - the last place you want to break down in greater Boston is in the breakdown lane, especially during rush hour, when it becomes the high-speed lane (in some places, even legally). The state has built a series of emergency turn-outs along Rte. 128 so you can pull out of the breakdown lane if, in fact, your car breaks down.
Bubbla That’s a water fountain to you, bub.

“I see what you’re saying”...
She tried to lose her accent (because people made fun of the way she talked) and she did a good job of it, but even after being away from New England for 50+ years, every once in awhile she'd forget and call a drawer a draw. And, growing up, my best friend, Linda, was ALWAYS "Linder". LOL.
Beautiful, Dita! and Amen Thank God I was born in this wonderful, beautiful FREE country.
As for the video..It’s settled ..must get one of those for me and the kitties!
;o)

I have watched the video nearly ten times. It really tickles me...:)
I haven't heard that word for many, many years! Same with "dungarees".
My mom used to tell the story of trying to order a frappe when she first came to California back in the 50's. I guess they never did figure out what she was asking for. LOL.
Oh, goody..I especially like cleaning up when the dishes have sat there for a day!
(You chef..you..For that meal..I would do it..right after I flew out and dined with you..)
;o)
Lookit you, getting the 2100, woo hoo!!!!:-)
I think that e-mail was a hoax; that’s what I told my friend. The Dems are trying to mess up our RED Fridays.
What’s fuh dinnah...?:)
The first experience I had with that (non-accent) language was when hubby was in the Navy. We were living in a big apartment building. The couple upstairs spoke like that and I loved it. Her name was Phyllis Marcone...pronounced Mycone...I can just hear it today. And I of course, had that southern brogue and she and I never even spoke about our differences.
ROTFL
Don’t you just love it when they tell you—”That can’t possibly hurt”
They’re my teeth in my mouth and if I tell you something hurts you can be darn sure I’m not lying about it.
You think it’s bad?..I got teased a lot when I lived out of state and this Texan doesn’t have an accent..not at all.
;o)
Some of these are REALLY different..and funny.!
I don’t have one. You do**
I beg to differ! Y’all have quite an accent!
ROTFL
Your colloquialisms were funny. We were talking about them today. The older guys came up with some good ones I’d never heard before.
Lovely. Conor. Amen!
Isn’t it the truth? I am still laughing about ‘paying the dentist to hurt me’...
Oh, thank you Conor. Thats lovely~~~God Bless Our Military for our Freedom.
You think my love of cleaning with the crevice tool is amusing ..or is it the soothing roar of the vacuum that hits your giggle button!? Could it be my first confession that my house really did not need cleaning..(It’s just such a pleasure to do it?)
;o)
