Title: Mate, gimme a gin on the dog. Post by: stroh on November 27, 2009, 02:02:16 PM LMAO! Jules, Deuce do you guys really talk this way?
I was looking something up and came across Aussie Rhyming Slang. Hilarious. For the 'Merkans: Gin is shortened from Gin Sling which simply rhymes with ring. Ring of course means to place a call. Dog is shortned from Dog Bone which, you guessed it. Brilliant! They got tons of 'em. Title: Re: Mate, gimme a gin on the dog.

Post by: stroh on November 27, 2009, 07:50:13 PM What till you start busting out the "Uff das" in SoCal and get blank stares. ;D LOL Funny, one thing I never picked up. I did get called on the "You Bet" while I was out there. But again, never developed the full "Ya sure, you betcha." Title: Re: Mate, gimme a gin on the dog. Post by: Fuzzy on November 27, 2009, 08:33:01 PM I get busted on the vowels when I travel. They tend to sound long like Minnesoooooooota.
Born and raised here but I've been conscious of the "you bet" thing. Once in a while but not hardcore like some. "Ya sure, you betcha" is Hollywood's take. Don't run across too much of that.

Lived in the south a LOONG time. Kept 'Y'all. We have no informal second person plural pronoun up here. Sometimes will go with : 'Dudes'. Title: Re: Mate, gimme a gin on the dog. Post by: Jules on November 28, 2009, 01:27:57 PM Nobody I know speaks like that. ;D
Who knows where they get that crap from. ;D We all sound and speak like Olivia Newton-John. ;D Title: Re: Mate, gimme a gin on the dog.

Who has time to speak like Olivia Newton, when you're working harder than a three legged dog digging a hole, so you can have some oxford scholars in your sky rocket, to buy some shark n' greasys and a brittany. ;) Title: Re: Mate, gimme a gin on the dog.
