If you are making multiple copies, would you also like some “Carbon Paper”?

I thought a “git” was a word for “gun”?

How about “lead foot”

Is it a Lying Shetland Pony Soldier or a Lying Welsh Pony Soldier?

I think that the Shetland ponies are worse to bite. The Shetlands I was around were mean. They would bite like a bulldog and kick if you got close enough behind them. Their saving grace was that they were not big enough to hurt you.

“You have to git.”

or “show”

As in didn’t think you’d ever show.

TV dinner.

When the kids were younger and still at home, I slipped up and said “TV dinner” instead of “frozen dinner”. The looks I got! And then I had to explain.
