Mine has a few that I can think of but I’m definitely forgetting some:
- Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I’d love to hear otherwise.
- Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn’t unique.
- James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
- edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it’s ready. Usually meat but as I’m cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread
We don’t feel “a bit off” or “confused.”
We get “discombobulated.” Now, I don’t think it’s necessarily weird for the whole country, but AFAIK, it’s something usually heard in the Midwest. We’re Californian.
When I was a kid my mom called something newly cleaned or washed “brand clean”.
Bingpot!
My kids say “tomorrow after that day” instead of the day after tomorrow; my oldest came up with it as a toddler and it just stuck.
Love this one!
The idiom “fleshed out” confuses foreigners and children.
Well burn that bridge when we come to it
Did you make that cake or is it boughten?
Are they Pennsylvania Dutch?
No. Ultimately German going back to 1800’s, then United Empire Loyalists who settled in Niagara area. A lot of farms, quite a few Mennonites, so there’s that kind of influence.
That’s pretty close actually! Despite the name, Pennsylvania Dutch would be better translated as Pennsylvania German. “Boughtten a cake” wouldn’t surprise me at all, as we grew up saying things like “outten the lights”.
I recently learned that one of the older men in my family does, in fact, have and use a poop knife.
should remind him enlarged bowels are very popular within the pegging community.
