I heard a woman at work say "do that taste like steak" while another person was eating lunch. It was then followed by "Ain't you give me a taste"


All I could do was stare in amazement and wonder why these people are getting paid to sell a product over the phone
 
where my ho's is?
 
"if you post illegal wheeling spots, we will kick you are ass"
 
First of all, it's spelled "grammar", and I heard yesterday a man say the word "Tourmanent" talking about basketball games. It wasnt just a fluke. He repeatedly said it and all I could do was laugh.

Just so I know that should be "pawl" right?

That is the term I have always seen/used, but now you have me self conscious wondering if I have been screwing this up all along.
 
yeah, pawl..
 
Oh do I really want to go down this road. Sat in a safety meeting last week and the speaker repeatedly kept say "pacific" when the word was plainly "specific". But then on second thought that would be an enunciation problem,not grammer.
 
Double negatives, dangling participles and throwing a preposition on the end of a sentence, these are a few of my unfavorite things.ha
 
A couple of my favorites since moving to the south..."might could" and "useda could"
 
irregardless

You have regard
Regardless, (without regard)
But...Irregardless (without without regard, or regard)

Just a pet peeve...
 
16 years ago when I moved the the Great State of North ByGod Carolina it took a few moments to understand some of the lingo. A new friend asked if I would "carry him" over to the dealership to get his vehicle. My reply after considering his size was "Hell no, but if you'll get in the Jeep I would be happy to give you a ride". My adult son (37 years old who is the product of the public school system in another state slightly north of here) asked me "Do you regret moving to North Carolina?" My response was simple. "The only regret I have was that I did not move here 25 years earlier." I love this state and can't imagine living anywhere better. Three hours to the beach, three hours to the mountains, not too cold in the winter, not too hot in the summer. What could be better?
 
My grandpa who is from the NC mountains and makes hillbilly sound good has one, I actually like but rarely here anywhere else.
Pronounced:
Die-recly
Used in a sentence:
Yes, Ma'am I will cut the grass Die-recly...

Now its is obviously a play on directly (which he also uses) but Die-recly means after a while....

I quit tryin to figure out why, but every now and then I will hear
"Wanna Goo to the store?"
"Die-recly I reckon"

And I smile and think of grampa...
