[QUOTE="Shari, post: 445028, member: 1848"] I carry a wallet. (not in a bag, tho, so maybe that doesn't count. It is at least a girlie one this time, tho...used to just carry a mans...) I got rid of my couch, but I grew up with a davenport. I ate grilled cheese sandwiches, and often went swimming in the crick. Subway sells sandwiches. So do lots of other places. "Sub" is jsut the description of the bread its on. I grew up having dinner at noon. Now that is lunch. The evening meal was supper. Now that is dinner. Vinegar is used to make pickles, wash peed on clothes, and clean with. Also, now, I am surrounded by these, but they drive me nuts and I don't use them...but I hear them ALL THE TIME. if you are in an accident and need a ride to the "doctors" (not hospital - doctors)....you ride in a vehicle with a gurney and lights that is pronounced with 2 syllables and no "U"...an amblance. The things that attach to a horse's bridle that you use to "steer" with are called rings (I thought they were reins?) And we're right on the line for using "ya'll" and "ya'uns". Folks south of us say a lot of "yu'uns comin over later?" where folks around us and slightly north say "Ya'll comin over later?" When you use that tool to put in or take out a screw? In our house, its an oomgada (ooom-god-uh). For whatever reason, that's what exBIL called them as a small child, and to this day, those are oomgadas. Also from the younger generation came the common household lingo of "lellow" (the crayon is lellow), bar-hair-ette (the thing you put in your hair), ay-bane (the thing that flies and carries people), and "heavy me", my very large young nephew's interpretation of English because whenever anyone picked him up, they said "OMG you're heavy!" so instead of carry me, he learned "Heavy me". And Wee's contribution..."Where go at?" and "no more gitty gitty mine chunkers!" (said when brother's tickled him) Then there was the poor German foreign exchange student who was brought to tears because someone said, as she held the crying baby, that she pinched it. And the Australian foreign exchange student who asked the teacher for that thing you use to remove pencil marks from paper....? You know, a rubber. [/QUOTE]
