The Translate the Local Dialect Game.

Post by **Sunbaneglasses** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 2:51 am

Here is the idea, make a statement in your local dialect, then someone will post what they think it means and post a statement of their own.

"I thought it might blow up a cloud this evenin, it looked dark back in yonder for a while but I reckon it must have went around us."

I'm not joining in this one, cos the guys I work with from Glasgow can barely understand my North of Scotland accent.

words like: Ganzee (sweater)
Fit like? (how are you doing?)
Loons (boys)
Quines (girls)
Toppers (wellington boots)

You get the idea

I honestly overheard this line from where I was bred (and buttered):

He's talking about drinking beer. . . and something else I can't make out.

As for Caglio's, I'm stumped.

Local dialect--as spoken by some residents:

"wher'd I put my coat at? It ain't been this cold since the Ice Storm. Ahma fixin' to go to Walmarts to get some beer and purex. I gots to do some warsh."

Wyldewode - I believe this fine upstanding gentleman (or gentlewoman) is going to a retail chain that prides itself in low prices on a cold day to get some laundry soap and alcoholic beverage to do some washing. Why he/she uses beer to wash up, I don't understand.

As for mine, he's the situation. Maybe it will make more sense.

I overheard this at a theme park. It was a hot summer day, and some kid was running through a sprinkler, while his dad yelled out to him the line above.

I still can't believe I really heard that. It just seems like something you'd read in a book but never expect to hear that in the real world.

He doesn't use it to wash. . . he drinks it. Around here, you can never have enough beer around. Is that the same where you're from?
As for the Ice Storm, we had a big storm earlier this year. I, personally was without power for 14 days. Some people were without power for almost a month. So it's reached legendary status around here--even to the point there is a picture book about it. And here is a couple of pictures from it (I can't take credit for them).

And the stitches comment. . . I thought it was what it sounded like, but then thought I must be wrong. Heh. . .

first the Wizard knew little true magic and relied mainly upon illusions he created through mystical hypnotic means. He could also engage in Astral projection. Later on he learned true magic.
