Ping-a-ling, cheerio & all that...
If you’d like to be on or off my intermittent ping list, please FR me.
Cheerio lol.
I would LOVE to hear that said in England.
If an American said it in front of me here, however, I’d probably knock them out :)
It would sound SO wrong :)
So, if someone said Cheerio to you you would give them some Sugar Smacks?
In San Fran they say Fruit Loops.
Many of us in the U.S. get our take on English English from TV and movies...

eh, never mind...
LOL
I have a problem with aggression.
Though I thought it would go away by 51! :)
I NEVER heard those expressions.
I need to travel more :)
LOL
Staten Island Italians are a creature all unto themselves :)
Thank God my nephews and nieces were born in Westchester and Southern NJ!!
I had my aggressive tendencies all but tamed. Then 0bama. :)
From that page:
Rarely used in North America. Although likely to be understood, it is likely to be considered humorous, and may be used in a parody of British English speakers...
IT WOULD ALSO SOUND GAY!!!!
I really gotta become more open minded :)
ROFL!
To be fair, I KNOW both of us are nowhere near as aggressive or filled with violent tendencies as 50 and 60 something lesbian protesters!
Boy can they hate.
Bob’s your uncle.
What is interwebs?
slang for WWW, internet.
You more comfortable with the Bronx welcome:
“What the **** are you lookin’ at!?”

Tickety Boo.

YES!!
And when my NYC supervisor from the midwest (who I LOVED and he died of cancer at $##$ing 40) would hand me work and start to explain it i would say “Get the #### out of here before I bust your ####ing head open with a bat”
So he used to say after a while “why don’t I get out of here before...” lol
He was a GREAT guy. First heartland person I ever really knew.
Didn’t show up for work one day and THREE LOUSY ###ING WEEKS LATER he came back wafer thin!!
Then the manager told me.
Cried like a baby.
I’m gonna pour a shot to Greg now. One of the best men I ever knew.
Excuse me for all that.

No prob. Have one for me, I’m watching my sugars.
