Only missed a couple of arse woopings in Chicks or Sticks 

 

Good to hear you're getting better D!

Glad to see you feeling better @Doreensfree

For some reason I was thinking about some of the odd regional sayings I've heard in my life. Most are from the east coast of Canada; Newfoundland in particular. Some of these always take me by surprise and confusion as to what they're saying to me, especially with their strange accent thrown in. If you're ever in Newfoundland expect to hear some bizarre phrases like:

Who Knit Ya?   (Who are your parents)

Wadda Ya At?   (What are you doing)

Where Y' Longs To?   (Where are you from)

Stay Where Yer To Till I Comes Where Yer At   (Stay where you are till I get there)

 

Anyone got any others you've heard at some point? Must be some Aussie or Brit phrases that make you shake you head in confusion?

My blood pressure shot up and I got all hyped up when you brought up the Ali and Frazier fights when responding to Linda @intoxicated yoda! I remember watching their last two fights on television when I was a young girl. It’s hard to believe that you could watch top title bouts on regular television back in the day. Free! LOL Cable ruined everything. Anyway, I checked and all three of their fights are on YouTube. As well as their in studio fight! Also their fights with Foreman! I know how I’m spending the rest of my weekend. Watching the glory days of boxing. They just can’t fight like this these days. It’s not the same. Anyway, thanks for the reminder of an old passion of mine!

@GusI hear ya.  Nobody plays for passion anymore.  It's all about money and influence.  I often wonder how long it will be before we find out that all sports are just like professional wrestling?  I'm quite sure football, and probably basketball is rigged.  Extraordinarily high salaries can buy tons of silence.

@Gus, it brought up the same for me too lol. One of our favorite things to watch for our whole family

@Reciprocity! I can’t get past the Aussie accent enough to even understand the words that are being said much less understanding the meaning of any of them. Sorry. I do know crikey because of Steve Irwin though. Brit has always been pretty easy to figure out.

Me too, Yoda! Me too! It’s all fixed! Like politics!

[Gus]

@jillar Most of us kids would always get several whippings for fighting for a few days after watching a match. HaHa Nothing like a little blood sport!

[Reciprocity]

Ali ... one of a kind for sure!!

 

Go ahead, show me what ya got, before I destroy you

Reminds me of a comedian here that exaggerated or stressed his Brooklyn accent and their colloquialisms to the point of almost total incomprehension, but he was hilarious. 

[intoxicated yoda]

@Gus  there's a little bit of bostonisms in this one

Hey @Doreensfree and @Reciprocity, you two were in my dream last night and you reci were the star of it lol.

Doreen and i were watching you try to drive a big ole tractor out of a barn with the roll down garage doors closed. Apparently you thought you could push it open with the tractor and duck as you drove under it. Doreen totally thought you could and i did not and as you pushed on the door and we watched it bending I was hollering abort, abort and then I got awakened by a freaking text at 5:00 am from the post office saying my package was being delivered today doh!  

[Doreensfree]

He should have let me do the driving ..

Women are much better drivers.

Great Dream

[Reciprocity]

That's silly ... everyone knows pigs can't drive a tractor  

[Doreensfree]

Congratulations to my lovely

[Reciprocity]

I wonder why they call the soccer field a 'Pitch'?

There's no pitching in soccer as far as I know 

 

Also; they call the uniforms soccer player wear a 'kit'. Do they buy the shirt, shorts & shoes in a single package or ... a kit?

[Reciprocity]

I was just thinking that the word Queue is just the letter Q followed buy 4 silent letters  WTF?
