Daft Things You've Heard Folk Say

Oh dear, I showed two of my friends your post and one of them asked: "What does 'toot-al-irism' mean?"

She was quite serious and even butchered the word like that. I dropped to the floor laughing hysterically at her. She later asked me what a democratic socialist is.

 

"Oh, LKD, you are the sexiest man alive!"

I KNEW the chick who said that to me must have been on some serious illegal pharmaceuticals!

 

Or perhaps you are?

I too suffer from the blessing, and the curse, of being devilishly handsome. Rest assured though, LKD, you can your "sexy" looks to manipulate people with ease.

 

Lol, I'm pretty sure LKD is not on illegal pharmaceuticals.

And as far as what the woman said, everyone has their own perspective. Just appreciate the compliment.

 

While filing my tax returns via an online service the other day (apologies to Snook ), they asked me if I had died during 2012.

 

And, given your excitement factor, you're still contemplating on what you should answer?

 

Actually, as I think of it, maybe I should double-check. It does sound like one of those help-you-to-the-other-side moments for people who don't know they're dead.

Okay, still have a pulse.

 

Maybe they were referring to mini-deaths? .... Oh wait, this isn't the MUG .... ooops

 

My oldest son told me a good one. He was on a really cool school field trip that involved going to the big local water-park we have here. Anyway he was really thirsty and couldn't find the water-fountain. So standing right next to all the pools and waterslides etc. he turns to his buddy and asks him where the water is.

 

Angel's

Ok here's one for you. I used to work at a big retail store as a cart wrangler, and on this particular night it was a huge storm with no lightning. Well no lightning means get your but out there and do your job anyway. After a pretty big part of the storm moves over I come in drenched, and literally dripping on the floor wet. My boss comes up to me and say's "Man is it still raining out there?". I couldn't help but turn to him and reply "Nope. I met and angel out there, and it urinated on me." I used another choice word in the place of urinated, but you get the idea.

 

Yeah, I get the idea. The words "out there", though, make me wonder about the quality of the store's roof.

 

Lol sorry American that lives in the south.... we talk a little differently around here. Hopefully no one will hold that to much against me hehe.

 

I wouldn't recognize whether that's southern or eastern or whatever (unless spoken, iso typed, perhaps). It's all English to me. So unless you speak Dutch as well, then yes: You talk a little different.

 

And to be honest, I've heard that expression ("out there") all the time, and I'm originally from the north (Wisconsin), so I don't think it's specific to Southerners. Not sure about the Brits or Aussies, though.

 

I say 'out there' when I mean outside all the time. I think a lot of us Brits do

 

Colloquial Expression

Years ago we were quail hunting and came through the field to the crossroad corner and were met by 2 farmers. They asked us if we knew who's land we were hunting on. We said yes it was a family relative by the name of XXX XXXX
did they know him. After a studied pause one farmer reckoned as how they had HOWDYED him but never SHOOK him. It took me a while to decode and get their meaning.

 

Daft

I play in a band, and sometimes we invite others to sit in. Presently a rather attractive girl handles most of the vocals. A friend I invited (in his late 50's) is quite a good guitarist but doesn't have much a grip on reality.
He started hitting on her and said, "Michael Jackson was never really famous until he came to Australia in the late 80's and appeared on our TV".
I had to interject and say, "What about the Jackson 5? They've been around forever."
He said, 'Nah, nobody even listened to them."
She rolled her eyes. I left her to him... lol. She was capable of taking care of herself.
