I don't uderstand what you'r saying...

[eaglesalltheway]

This may sound stupid, (It says almost anything goes)but what are some phrases or pronuciations or any variations of how people say things around the country and the world that my be funny or odd? I am in Eastern PA, part of the Pennsylvania Dutch country so to speak, so here is some from around my area.

Dunerveter. Translation: Thunderstorm. You say this when you are either pissed off, confused, or both. I don't know why you would say thunderstorm, but thats just the way it is.
There are many more, but lets see what everyone else has, whether it be funny, odd, or whatever.

[Space Ghost]

Thats ****** what you just posted... sounds really odd, I don't even know how to say what you wrote or how it can possibly be thunderstorm.

Around here... In the GTA... I don't really know, maybe not saying ar well and saying er like car is cer, aaron is ern, garage is pretty much down to gerg for a lot of people. I don't say it but a bunch of people in my shop class last semester talked like that.

[Philliez01]

Actually this is an example of the bastardization of the English language but the word "clout" is popular amongst the track and soccer team.

The word should only be used when someone says something completely ridiculous or when you highly disagree with someone. For example:

"Reggie Ball was an okay QB"
"I CLOUT THAT"

Essentially though only certain people can wield a clout in our town. There's a delegation that happens when alcohol is involved that determines who can wield a clout. You have to wield a clout if you can say it, if not, it's like using money you don't have.

[Ward]

My family doesn't have a very bad accent. My father is probably the worst, he says oil as one syllable instead of "oyle", warsh instead of wash.

However, I do call all "soda" "pop" or "soda water" coke. What kind of coke would you like? We have plenty of cokes in the icebox, help yourself.

I'll think of other ones..

I've noticed all people from Maryland or some from NJ call a wallet a "pocketbook" I mean I've heard people call it that, but in MD there is no such thing as a wallet

[frogstomp]

And the town I used to live in had 1000 people, all white. Well, no,we did have one black dentist. But yeah, we had a lot of little kids running around trying to be... what they thought was black, I guess.

I say "Banged up" a lot in reference to getting drunk. "Hey lets head to the bar and get real banged up tonight".

what do you call your 'manbag' ?

I guess I would call it a manbag. I wouldn't know cause I wouldn't be caught dead in one.

[lionsfan320]

if my statement is inaccurate, it stems from when I worked for conectiv power delivery.

when I worked for customer service there, everyone who called in, from MD or NJ, would call it that..

so if real people from MD or NJ don't say pocketbook, you must be those ones who pay your bill on time heh

Yep. Even when it's Pepsi or 7up.

Both, but both are more correcter than bubbler. There aren't any bubbles, you can drink out of a fountain of water that comes out when you push the button, or the knob.

[Big Mike]

I find it funny the way all Canadians say eh. If you are born in Canada its like you automatically will say it. I was born in Nigeria but my bros were born in Canada and they always say "Eh!" but i never say it.

As for what many people say down here:

seen - a phrase said after somebody hears good news
"I got the new Madden Game"he said
"Seen" said Big Mike

tuff - our way of saying somthings cool or good
"That new Mobb Deep CD is tuff"

Chop - When a Guy (or girl) tries to mack a person of the opposite sex (or same i guess)
"He chopped so much girls at the club"

Nuff - A lot of..
"Thats nuff food on your plate

Mans - Same as saying men or people"theirs nuff mans at the party"

Gassed - Somone whos Gassed is someone who is conceited
"That girl is gassed cause older mans always chop her"

[GB12]

Both, but both are more correcter than bubbler. There aren't any bubbles, you can drink out of a fountain of water that comes out when you push the button, or the knob.

The original was made by kohler and they gave it the name bubbler. I don't know how the name was thought of but to the people of Wisconsin that will always be the correct name.

Boostin' - Same asExaggerating
"Yo Kobbe Bryant scored 81 points on our Raptors" He said
"Youre boostin" I said

(I started this one) Breathe Easy - Same as Calm Down

Sh*tted on or DooDooed On - To kill someone in a sport, game etc.."I shi**d on him in NBA 2k7

brainer - a girl who gives oral sex
Originates from the word brains which refers to head which refer to blowjob

I acually live in GTA to be honest - Brampton but people dont know the place if they from the USA so i say toronto. I actually made the word gassed to, i got it from a Tupac song - keep Ya Head Up. And I go to St.Marguerite DYouville SS. These terms are like 3 years old to to be honest

soft - can be used 2 ways as an opposite of soft

1. Who Cares
2. When someone is a scaredy cat or pu*sy they are soft
3. An easy task is a soft task

1. "Yo you failed a test again" he said
"Soft" He said

or

2. "Yo i heard he said he's gonna beat you up after school"
"Yea right, he aint no hard as* man, he's soft"

I hate it when people use the word 'random' all the time. A random event is an event with a low probability of occuring, not something unexpected. Furthermore, a person cannot be 'random'. They can be eccentric or crazy, not random.

I also don't like it when people refer to Toronto as 'T-Dot'. It sounds ridiculous, and it was popularized by Shaun Desman, the whitest hip-hoppest of all time. Not cool.

I dunno, thats just how it is. If you ever want to end what is becoming a long and meaningless convo, always throw in "oh fugetaboutit!". Thats always a good way of ending a thought.

When you leave/enter Brooklyn, theres a big sign that says Entering/Leaving Brooklyn : Fugetaboutit!, lol. I think that saying originated there.

[eaglesalltheway]

I've had a few people who have moved from NY and ask me that question, I guessed right the first time I was asked and said I was doin good. The guy looked shocked. I was confused at first, but he explained what you said earlier (almost verbatum by the way, except without fugetabouttit) and now I know thats what to do if anyone ever asks me that question again. I've been to NY a couple times, but never has anyone on the street asked me how i was doin, but I hope that day will come soon, so they can be surprised too. It must be really easy to fifure out who the out of towners are. All they do is look at the buildings, stare at the taxis and usually look like they just don't belong. I don't understand the stereotype about New Yorkers being stuck up or whatever, they either leave you alone (just like any other place in this world) or help you when you ask for help. I actually like New York a lot, it is a nice place for the most part. I know I've just been there on short trips, but from what I have seen, I like.

I've had a few people who have moved from NY and ask me that question, I guessed right the first time I was asked and said I was doin good. The guy looked shocked. I was confused at first, but he explained what you said earlier (almost verbatum by the way, except without fugetabouttit) and now I know thats what to do if anyone ever asks me that question again. I've been to NY a couple times, but never has anyone on the street asked me how i was doin, but I hope that day will come soon, so they can be surprised too. It must be really easy to fifure out who the out of towners are. All they do is look at the buildings, stare at the taxis and usually look like they just don't belong. I don't understand the stereotype about New Yorkers being stuck up or whatever, they either leave you alone (just like any other place in this world) or help you when you ask for help. I actually like New York a lot, it is a nice place for the most part. I know I've just been there on short trips, but from what I have seen, I like.

Yeah, you pretty much hit it on the head. The word fugetaboutit has like 10 different meanings that could be used in different contexts. For example:

"You see that ass on that broad? Fugetaboutit"

"Oh fugetaboutit" - referring to something you should ignore

"Oh fugetaboutit!" - agreement

"Fugetaboutit (in anger)" - **** him

I can go on and on, the word has a life of its own. You can use it in so many ways.

FBI Technician: What's forget about it?

Donnie Brasco: Forget about it is like if you agree with someone, you know, like Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass, forget about it. But then, if you disagree, like A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it! you know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like mingia those peppers, forget about it. But it's also like saying Go to hell! too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?" and Paulie says "Forget about it!" Sometimes it just means forget about it.

Sounds delicious, I would love to have me some po' boy.

[eaglesalltheway]

Another thing about the PA dutch. There is a food that is called boovashenkles, which translates into boy's legs (Don't ask me why) but it is sort of like a pierogie. It has a dough for an outer shell, but instead of potato filling and all of the other things you can get in a pierogie, it has hamburger and onions inside. It is delicious. You close up the shell with the meat and onions and then fry it. I'm sure Michael Jackson would be eating some boovashenkles if he could.

are perogies nice? Cause my skool serves them at lunch sometimess and i've never tried them

It depends, you can get a very good or a very bad pierogie. They are not healthy at all, but thats what makes them taste better. If they are slightly browned they are delicious. They are not as good if the pierogies were put in before the oil to deep fry them was too cold or they are burnt. But you can also pan fry them as well. Put a little butter and oil in the pan, let it heat up to the right temp, put the pierogies on, let them brown, flip them, let them brown again, and enjoy. They are almost like candy if they are made the right way.

Have you ever been to Popeyes (best fast food in North America)???

Its great to get back on subject. A lot of the post find their way off of the subject, but eventually someone brings it back to where it started. I find it funny sometimes, how some of us can go on and on about what amounts to basically nothing.

i cant understand why southern ppl like to say cussin instead of cursing and no offense but i cant stand southern accents

[Ward]

I am learning that NY/New Jersey people are rude even when they're trying to be nice.

Also, a Po' Boy is not another name for a hoagie/sub/grinder, it's a unique sandwich.

"Ye hae me greetin, so gaun yirsel big fella an' get tae"

This is difficult to do though, because we live where we live so we don't always know what's weird. Does anyone other than EF, JF, DK know Shawarma?

Shawarmas are quite delicious.

It's basically the same. Only difference being the type of bread used.

[Jughead10]

Oh, and another thing for out of towners who come to the NYC/Long Island/North Jersey area.

When we say "How ya doin?", that doesn't mean that we want to know how youre doing. Its just our way of saying "Hi". Usually, when someone says to you "How ya doin", you simply reply back with the same gesture. Maybe throw in a head nod. But don't tell us your life story.

Refer to this as an example

http://youtube.com/watch?v=BJr0zWvoLEE

Eh, you can answer a little bit before returning the "How ya doing?" I normally answer "Not bad, How ya doing?". Regardless of if I'm not bad or not.

Also as far as accents go, people in this area tend to leave the letter "R" off of words. For instance try saying "Stairs" withouth the R. I find that I am the biggest offender on this rule specifically with that one word. Other people have problems leaving the "R" off of a word like Fingers. I'm not as bad with that one.

[frogstomp]

That's what goes down everywhere, though.

I usually give the "alright, alright, you?" I could be having the best/worst day, and they'd still get the same response. The majority of people that greet you in that fashion are random people who I wouldn't talk to, anyways.

Feel foolish arguing with a New Orleans guy, but isn't that a pretty big difference? I can't get a shrimp sandwich on french bread here, but I can get a shrimp Po' Boy.

There definitely is a difference. Thing is, a lot of people down here call all sub sandwiches Po' Boys and that's what I was originally getting at. But yeah, a real "Po Boy" uses french bread, while traditional sub sandwiches do not. I don't consider it that big of a difference, but it's no big deal.

Yeah, lots of guys don't pronounce Rs

Major = mayja is one example.

We all got that jersey "a" pronunciation too. Theres no way to spell it phenitcally, but we say the letter a quite different from everyone else. Animal, apples, etc, we add something to it. I can't spell it phenitcally though, any ideas?

[bigbluedefense]

And I don't get why out of towners think we say Jersey "Joysee". Ive never met a person from Jersey that calls the state "Joysee". Thats more of a NY thing. Jersey boys say Jersey.

Jersey boys also spike their hair and wear pink shirts with the collar popped :D

...Yeah, we're assholes. Big deal, we do it with taste.

[eaglesalltheway]

Just thought of another one, and it isn't PA Dutch. "Sick Nasty" meaning totally awesome or something to the extent of that. This is one that I don't like and am glad it is losing its stranglehold on the youth of today's society.

Well, if you wanna get technical: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_English_short_A#.C3.A6-tensing

Layman's terms: In the "e" and schwa (upside-down "e") combo in brackets that they show, the "e" is like the first part of "long" a (hay, weigh), and the schwa is the "uh" sound. When said together, it makes that sound.
