Lagom[a.] - The most Swedish word in existence. Has no direct translation to any other language, except maybe a few obscure ones. Its meaning can be most accurately described as "just enough", "the correct amount", "not too little and not too much" etc.
It's lagom funny for foreigners trying to learn Swedish. :)

[chcr]

yawnto[v.]: Southern expression for "do you want to." Usage: "Ahmoan go ta th' WalMart. Yawnto?"

I believe the correct spelling of that is jawntu. It usually follows jeet, an interrogatory for did you eat?.

What ever became of Jeff, anyway?

[HomeLAN]

He bought a sizeable chunk of South Atlanta and relaxed there.

[Inkara1]

My favorite southern word is, "sensous."

Told my old lady, "sensous" up, get me a beer!

[tonksy]

since we is discussing southern talk:
fiddin' to or fixin' to - about to do something ie. "i's "fiddin' to" go to da walmart, "sensuous" here you can come with, "yawnto"?"

[chcr]

[tonksy]

I should point out that Hellman's is known as Best Foods west of the Rockies. "Bring out the Best Foods, and bring out the best."
really? why?

[Inkara1]

You'd have to ask them. The jars of Best Foods mayo say "known as Hellman's east of the Rockies" on them, that's how I know.

[Inkara1]

I checked their web site, and Hellmann's mayo was the first mayo on the east coast, and Best Foods introduced Mayo to California. Both companies grew, and eventually Best Foods bought Hellmann's.

[kuulani]

Best Foods is the only mayo that I'll allow on my food :licklips:

CANNY: The most common and most beautiful word in our [geordie] dialect. We cannot better Heslop's description:

"An embodiment of all that is kindly, good, and gentle. The highest compliment that can be paid to any person is to say that he or she is canny. As "home" expresses the English love of the fireside, so in Tyneside and Northumberland does canny express every home virtue. All that is good and loveable in man or woman is covered by the expression "Eh, what a canny body !" A child appealing for help or protection always addresses his elder as canny man "Please. canny man, gi's a lift i' yor cairt." "0, canny man 0 show me the way to Wallington." What Northumberland bairn but has appealed, when punishment impended, "Please canny man, it wasn't me !" The fishwife who wishes to compliment her customer says, "Noo, canny-hinny, see what yor buyin'."

[Gato_Solo]

Arachnidiot (ar ak ni' di ot) - n. A person, who, having wandered into an "invisible" spider web, begins gyrating and flailing about wildly.

Getifa : A word invented by Sir Billy Connoly. The word has no specific meaning, but when combined with another of the good man's inventions - Yabasa and orated with a certain timbre and volume the two words make for a rather usefull expletive when a more traditional colourfull metaphor would be inapropriate.

[Gato_Solo]

Yeeshbah- If you know, you know. If you don't, then you don't. :grinyes:

[Inkara1]

The simplicity of the secret behind "yeeshbah" reminds me of an old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Calvin says to Hobbes, "penny for your thoughts." Hobbes responds that this thought is worth a dollar. They haggle, and fianlly Calvin relents and gives Hobbes a dollar. the thought? A fool and his money are soon parted. Fighting and hilarity ensues.

Tara has supermodel legs and is already getting used to being prinked and coiffed as she prepares for her first beauty contest in the autumn.
--Raffaella Barker, "Diary hatched, matched and almost despatched," Daily Telegraph, September 6, 1997

The point is reinforced by a clutch of contemporary art photos . . . showing plump nudes prinking and preening like pouter pigeons, and, in one case, a couple of dancers deliberately posed to recreate a Degas painting.

Ah memories. Those were the days I was so addicted that I would check OTC before I even went to work, and then constantly throughout the day.

[Professur]

I was reading an older review of a porn flick, and they mentionned an anal queef. Needless to say, that magazine is now ashes. Sorry guys, but if you don't know that an anal queef is a fart, you're too dumb to be published.

I stay away from any word that sounds like the "N" word. I once had a misunderstanding with someone at work about that.

Ever see Monty Python and the Holy Grail? You know the part where they're at the castle and John Cleese is telling them their father was a hampster and their mother smells like elderberry? He says something like "You and your silly English kinnigits!" It's funny because he's mispronouncing "knights" by saying "kinnigits".

Well, I was joking with someone about movies and stuff and we were repeating lines from movies and I called him a silly kinnigit. The guy next to him was like "WHAT did you call him?!" so I repeated myself. The guy though I called him something else, and it just so happens he was black. Neither of them had seen any Monty Python movie.

I actually had to play the wav file to prove to him that I didn't just call someone a racist slur. :rolleyes:

Gotta love touchy coworkers, doncha?

[SouthernN'Proud]

Gotta love touchy coworkers, doncha?

No. That's too close to living my life to someone else's standards for my comfort. I refuse.

[Professur]

That, right there, is one of the things I do actually like about being an anglo working in quebec. Anything like that is always considered a translation faux pas.

[greenfreak]

Gotta love touchy coworkers, doncha?
Funny thing was, the guy who I said it to is black but the guy who misheard and was miffed about it wasn't.

So I made both of them rent MPATHG that weekend. Neither one of them "got" the humor. If you don't get a chuckle out of that movie, you have bigger problems than your hearing. ;)
