Eve says to Adam,"Now we can eat THE apple." Adam answers,"There's only one? I don't want to share. I want all that knowledge to myself." Eve says,"Don't try to rib me, guy."
They get real testi in their 50s,lol. Well to be honest they tell me politely what a hick I am. They changed my name too, from momma to mom. Daughter told me to try and not use double negatives,! i thought have I really gotten that bad. I knew better. Now I catch myself doing it now and then, I really do like correction so correct away. Thats how I learn,obviously.
Daughter is right. One shouldn' oughtn' not never use double negatives. Triple or more are fine though.
Have you picked up double negatives from those around you? And there's nothing wrong with being a hick...they're generally smarter and more honest than city folk.
Thank you John I think,lol.JK. There is nobody around me, except hubby and that is possible, but no I don't think that's the problem even if he has been known to eat tree rodants like squirrels before I knew him. He did call colas 'pops' and crackers 'nab's though. Reminds me of Lewis Grizzard humor.
That is a possibility. We rural southerners aren't exactly known for our proper grammar. One of my favorite humorist,I've read every book he ever wrote ,some a couple times.He can explain it. This is not Grizzards ysiual was of expressing himself he is usually clean in his humor.
John I never heard this part of the vedio befpor @John Brunner Usually Lewis is never vulgar so the video isn't his kind of humor. This one is nicer,
SC nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was chosen because she is a woman and because she is black. How is that not misandry and racism? During her hearing she repeatedly uses the phrase "It's about ... ". This has always annoyed the heck out of me because it is nonsense language. What is the "it" in "It's about ... "? I doubt the speaker could explain if asked. Incoherence in Congress ... I suppose that's nothing new. I'm all about clarity of speech.
OMG, Imogene Coca in Grindl. She was great in that and other things but strolling down memory lane reminds me of how old I'm getting.
She sure looks different in that role. I loved her work with Sid Caesar...they were both masters of facial contortions. ps: Congrats for making it this far...many don't.
I used to work with a guy who was originally from Illinois. (Not sure if that has anything to do with his speech peculiarity.) He'd always say stuff like, "I'm going to the mall. Wanna go with?" He never said "with ME." Just a random musing on a Wednesday afternoon.
