Dr. Phil Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Cattywampus? Should I be afraid to ask what that means? crooked or bent or out of whack Or, "Wrong side to". An Amish lady told me one time to "out the light". I said huh? She said, 'out the light" I said huh? She said, "turn-off-the-light....." we also get "hain't it or no?" and "a couple two, tree" Edited March 21, 2014 by Dr. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhgunguy Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Wow, some of you folks talk funny. Then again, I live in the accent dead zone. But my grandparents home town was settled by a lot people from Pennsylvania, so there are a few oddities. Tomato is pronounced ta-made-a. There is also a crick that runs through their backyard.

birdzman Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) slicker than snot on a nanner (my neighbors assessment of slippery) Edited March 23, 2014 by birdzman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openclassterror Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Heard from an old timer any time he saw something he liked- "That's slicker than a pocket in your underwear!" Don't want to know what it meant. "Camper Shell" means a truck canopy. NOT a camper. A camper can be a 5th wheel, travel trailer, or an actual camper. Harder'n woodpecker lips= Really hard Whappit = hammer Dingus Mohingus= anything you can't remember what it is called Chingaderas= a dent, ding, or scratch. AKA a "Chong" Oregon Sunshine= RAIN WeeWaa = kittywampus (see above for definition) as in "That doorway looks all WeeWaa to me."

cbrconst Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 "Well, bless your heart" in the South usually means "You are really a dumb ass" !! Or in rural Texas "Down the road a piece" could mean 1/4 mile or 200. Added to "Well, bless your heart" is "You poor thing" = complete idiot.

fiddler Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I grew up in Brooklyn where we have our own language. Some of it is here: http://voices.yahoo.com/the-brooklynese-dictionary-11440122.html Favorites that I remember: Ant'ny: The name, Anthony. Bupkes: Loosely translates to mean, nothing. "That ain't worth Bupkes" Chewtch: The Brooklynism of "douche," which is still used, to call someone a jerk. Earl: Oil. Flatleaver: Someone who breaks plans or a date when they believe something better came up. Ex: "Don't invite Jessica, she flatleft me for Tony last week and never showed up." "He don't know from nothin." or "He don't know nothin' from nothin'": He's not that smart "I got your …right hea": A statement made with sarcastic undertones while grabbing your crotch, when you don't care about something. "I'm not married to Con Edison": Shut off the damn lights. "Who died and made you boss?": Common phrase used to let a person know you aren't going to listen to their demands, complaints, concerns, or orders.

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Was up in Vermont one time and at about lunch time someone said "lets go down and get a slider for lunch", I was at a total loss but they all looked pretty healthy so said OK. Turned out it's a Submarine sandwich. Or when I was at Ft. Devens in the army, sign in drug store showed they had "frappe", No idea on that at all but turned out to be a milk shake. (anyone in Mass, if I misspelled it, let me know) Frappe has ice cream. Milk Shake doesn't Now I want a Grinder and a Frappe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
