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.

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.

Do y'all do some version of 'Y'uns' as well?  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'. |

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.  |
