meg made me wonder.. these are some things we say in my little corner of the world couyon - like when you say something stupid or silly your mum will call you couyon sha' (probably spelled cher..but said like sha)- it's just like..idunno...like a term of endearment.. someone you're talking to..usually women will say it to other women..and men will say it to women and younger women.. it's cute. parran (paw-rah with the little twang thing at the end ) - godfather podna - friend lapain - rabbit/bunny craWfish - say crayfish and die =D make groceries - to go grocery shopping.. fais do-do - to go to sleep or just to go do-do when you're talkin to kiddies pass the mop/ pass the broom - to mop or broom chee wees - a Cheetos type snack they used to eat long before there were cheetos. They were made by the Elmers company in New Orleans and still are. Some people still use that word to refer to Cheetos (i'm wondering if anyone else calls it that? cos it seems like a lot of people would..maybe not though) noonie/noopie - pacifier cro-cros - big,old, clunky, shoes pischouette - runt, little person (girl) pirogue - like a canoe Boo - honey, sweetie, darling hosepipe - water hose (who doesn't say hosepipe? hmm) maw maw / paw paw - grandma/grandpa crescent city - new orleans red stick - baton rouge neutral ground - the median in the road c'est si bon - when you take a bite haha half of these i didn't realise no one else said and meg i want you to click this. i think you'll like it. a lot... aha for some reason.. http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Flats/4396/ppeekon.wav also instead of "i'm about to -do something-" we say "i'm fixing to -do something-" do other people say that too? and i actually find it ODD that nowhere else in the world has drive-through daquiri shops hahaha..

i remember when all the gangsta kids used to call each other son...ahahaha them gangsta kids...always coming up with something new
HEY SON... Ain't dat dem dubs straight up gangsta, yo... sheeit, mama done gone made a mess of cornbread'n'chicken'n'gizzards'n'lizards'n'chitlins; sheeitanwegon'go'lanna'n'seedakinfokesuh yessah
I used to have a bunch of crayfish as pets. I cried when Greg died, I had him for over a year The only slang we have that I can think of is 'cuffy' which is a smoke that you put out half way and saved. It's pretty much only my school that says, no one else knows what it means ahaha.
Richard H. Knight Jr. "What's the difference between saying 'sucks' or 'crap' and 'gosh-darn' or 'shoot' or 'dang it?' If a person were to say 'golly gee,' it wouldn't even register (except for the fact it makes one sound like Gomer Pyle). . . . I am over 30, college educated, Christian and possess an extensive vocabulary; however, sometimes the four-letter or the occasional five-letter words are more to the point. . . . Language is alive. . . . When all is said and done, words are just that — words. . . . If you don't want your kids to use them in your presence, say so, but don't try to stop me from using them or you might hear some even 'badder' words in response." — Deborah R. Murphy "My blood pressure is often raised when drivers have rap music blaring and the words are worse than those in the (bad words) article. . . . I am a librarian at TSU and was riding the city bus one day. In the front were a number of 'adults' of varying ages and in the back were three college-age kids. The three managed to hit all the expletives. . . . I didn't notice a reaction among us 'old' people." — Lynetta Alexander "I don't consider myself to be a prude. . . . I simply don't enjoy being around foul-mouthed people. Several years ago I went to visit a new neighbor. Every other word of her conversation was the s-word. I felt as If I needed a bath when I left her. I did not follow up on that acquaintance." — Evelyn Campbell "I am really of the old school because I don't like any kind of slang. It really destroys 'the king's English.' . . . I know the word 'ain't' has been put in the dictionary, but it is hard for me to listen to that slang word. I used to tell my students 'ain't' is wrong, like eating peas with a knife is wrong." — Ruby Felker "The sting is gone. I refer to the words 'sucks,' the f-word, etc. I feel sorry for the youth today because they have been taken advantage of by the adult entertainment world. I am a Christian and I am 85 years young. I can't believe what I have lived to see. — Kermit and Mary Lee Zinn "It disgusts me to hear someone say 'I have to go pee.' When I hear this . . . I think, 'This person has no class.' . . . I am only 36 years old. . . . I don't allow my four daughters to use these words, and they think I am so old because they hear these words from their friends." — Molly O'Neal "First of all, it's not the word, it's the meaning it expresses. If we say something ('this bites,' for instance), we get annoyed when, instead of asking us what happened, adults tend to scold us. We aren't really intending to insult or offend anyone. We're just trying to get our point across. . . . When I transferred to my new school, people were saying stuff 'sucked.' . . . It's just the way we talk. Adults should be glad that we aren't cursing. We're actually showing great self-control, judging by the media that are telling us to curse, especially reality TV and rap music." — Shelby Wall, seventh-grader "Your article struck a nerve, and I just need to say how offended I am by the s-word and all those others that hint at vulgarity in the slipperiest kind of way. They include but are not limited to 'freakin',' 'crap,' 'bites' . . . . I would guess that many of the rap songs have lots of examples, but who can bear to listen? . . . (The commercial) was very offensive to me the first time I saw it. If there is a way to fight back, please let me know. I'm game for a battle to save our language from indecent exposure!" — Beverly Dowdy "I am an elementary school counselor. I am offended by the words 'crap' and 'dang' in and out of school. If a person of any age cannot express himself without cussing or using negative slang words, they are not very intelligent. . . . You try to educate this do-all, feel-all, being-done-for-you, having-your-way, take-no-responsibility generation." — Bridgett Weisser "One of George Carlin's famous seven words, the p-word, seems to pop up a lot. Keeping the rest of (his words) out of the mainstream media looks like a long, uphill battle. Their growing prominence makes me all the more aware how important communicating with our children is regarding what is and isn't appropriate. Bad words are a quick and easy way for a dumbed-down, frustrated society to express itself." — Logan Runger "Am I offended by the new slang? I don't know that I am offended, because we have become a pretty calloused society. I do know I don't like the new slang, especially when it is used by the media. The laxing of our language and behavior in general is a symptom of an overprivileged society. The media claim they are merely reflecting society when they stoop to nonprofessional behavior, yet I disagree. . . . Not only are the members of the media using the words, they are paid six-digit salaries and placed in high esteem. Sylvia, my challenge to your profession is to rise above societal norm." — Charlie Lewter "When I was in fifth grade I attended school in Massachusetts. . . . I took chalk after school one day and a friend . . . and I wrote 'Mr. Reynolds sucks' all over the end wall of the school. . . .We got caught and they called a parent meeting. They had this whole long discussion about how I was accusing the principal of having homosexual sex. I hadn't the faintest idea what they were talking about. . . . It's sad how their minds could twist something like that when I only meant 'Mr. Reynolds stinks.' Of course, that may have actually meant he didn't wear clean underwear. . . . I ended up with a week of ISS (in-school suspension). . . . I have to admit that I found the sucking TV commercial pretty darn funny. Wait. I shouldn't say 'darn,' should I. . . . I guess it's all about intent. . . . Can't we just say what we mean and mean what we say? I say clean it up — and I'm saying it to myself, too." — Kae Roberts
