@Bess Barber In the non-disparaging usage, a faggot is: "a bundle of sticks or twigs bound together as fuel." Frank
@Tom Galty The first time ever in a plane, New Years 1966, we flew to Vegas (from Chicago). At O'hare I sat quaking in my seat; my new wife was totally at ease, having flown to America from Munich with her family, 3 years earlier. As the ground dropped away beneath us, I marveled at the power! Served coffee, it sat on my tray with the liquid absolutely still! Deplaning, I was astounded by the sight in McCarran Airport: slot machines everywhere! 5 years later, we were living there! Frank
@Frank Sanoica Think in 1966 that was the only state you could gamble in. PS the meaning of the word Faggot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food)
Yes, a tasty, healthful combination...all except for the White Bread! I also prefer my coffee to remain level in the cup.
It's hard to do because there isn't always a spelling for the sound. Such as: alright is an i - ight sound with a lilt. Or Do you want to? is yonto. If you have to think about it before you say it, it won't come out sounding right. Many of the southern slang words were brought from the Scotch-Irish since many of them settled farther south in America. They were our first hillbillies. They also brought their music which we hear in blue grass. There is a really interesting documentary on YouTube about the history of these people.
*ouch*...it's Scottish... (Scotch is Whisky..and yes it's spelled without the E )..Irish whiskey is spelled WITH the E.... I'm Scottish,born and raised, and from Irish parentage, and none of those words are from us... ..but it's true if you have to think about a word before you say it, it won't sound right. I have had this problem since I moved to England, the pronunciation of words are different, so even now after all these years I have to think before I say many words , and they always sound wrong...and they highlight my Scottish accent, and are often a topic for hilarity by the dumb English... ...
OMG! And I've been calling @Holly Saunders an Englishter! Please accept my most humble apology, Holly. I didn't mean to offend you.
I could think before I post, but...............sometimes I just don't. @Shirley Martin You are much better with the spellings of those words than I am.
