The words siggie and ressie...

[Poohnatic]

Oh, I just thought of another phrase Miss Fancy used a lot: tum tum for "tummy". As if "tummy" isn't bad enough in itself.

So she'd say something like, "I need a dibby dab of sody to make my tum tum feel better". Translation: "I need a little glass of soda to make my stomach feel better". Why a 50 year old woman felt the need to talk like a 2 year old is anyone's guess.

I am so sorry, I probably would have vomited all over her and said "My stomach turned sour at all the baby talk. So sorry, next time I'll make sure I have alka seltzer available"

Those could have bothered some.

ETA: I started to post and then got distracted, so I missed a whole page of posts! Now I see that the 'cousins' have already been mentioned! Sorry for the repeated annoyance!
Now I need to get caught up.
(I think I can fit an 'Oh, snap' in here somewhere! muwaahahahhaa)

Ugh, I do this all the time! Another reason for the lossy quality of my posts. At least I am no longer nursing at the keyboard, or typing with a toddler on my lap who is trying to grab the keyboard all the time. Sometime I type with a 3 year old on my lap, who is playing with the mouse.

Spelling and grammar mistakes grate on my nerves in publications or in professional documents, but they don't really bother me on a message board unless they are my own. When I'm typing fast, I tend to type "are" for "our" or vice versa, or "there" for "their" even though I fully well know the difference. I end up editing a lot of my posts because I read them back and I'm annoyed with myself.

 

[OK!]

Very true, and I'm wondering what she means about "for the most part"...so her girls do wander to parts unknown sometimes, huh?

Sometimes I worry they have their own agenda. I try not to get in their way when that happens.



All right, now that I think about the mental image that provides, it's truly scary. Hee hee.

Ugh, I detest the word "tummy"! But you know what I hate even more than that? "Buns." I don't hear it all that much anymore unless it's on exercise videos, but come on, people--call it what it is, a butt or behind or even bottom, but not buns. Buns, for some reason, makes me think of people wearing those nylon shorty-shorts and rollerskating down the boardwalk, a la Three's Company. Blech.

Do they reach all the way down to your TUMMY?

There's benefit to saying 'butt' in a house full of boys, let me tell you! Guaranteed giggles! Not so much with any other word, so in our house, Butt it is.

A regional thing in the part of Maryland I spent most of my time is to remove the verb "to be". What's the first thing you learn in any foreign language class? The verb "to be". First day of french class, we conjugated "etre". Je suis, tu et il et, elle et, nous somme, vous ette, il sont elle sont. (28 years later, folks!)

However, this verb is lacking in western Maryland. My car needs warshed (dunno why there's an 'r' added, but its there), my pants need mended, the dog needs feeding. It drove me bonkers. Then I would here "can I see your ink pen?", as in may I borrow the ballpoint pen in your hand.

No, and not to my buns either, thank God.

I hate buns too, but I reallllllly hate "bottom". That word sounds freakish to me. I like butt, personally.

 

[JunieJay]

Now I'm thinking of it, I think Miss Fancy used the word "hiney". That would go along with her term for her breasts, her "pretties".

Everyday was a weird mixture of amusement and disgust around this woman, let me tell you.

 

[miss missy]

no they dont scare me. They are a short cut...

 

[lyzziesmom]

My mom says a ton of things that make me cringe. The current one is instead of trash can or garbage can, she calls it a "wastepaper basket." She will use this not only for a trash can by a desk (that truly is just for waste paper) but for ANY trash can, including the big ones in the garage that I haul outside every Friday morning. Every time she says "wastepaper basket" it drives me crazy!!

I'm sure I will think of a ton more.

 

[OK!]

I don't care for "bottom" either, but anything's better than buns in my book. The term I actually use, generally speaking, is the one referred to earlier in this thread as a possible abbreviation for Disney's All-Star Sports Resort.

Can I say I hate the word panties?

This is what I think too. After all it is a message board, not a publication. I can't imagine being bothered by other peoples mistakes, but I admit mine (when I catch them) bug the heck out of me. Thank goodness we can edit posts. For some reason they don't pop out at me until I hit submit.

you and my mom.

I'm getting tired of the word butt-crack. Only because Ami is currently obsessed with it and has named every last one of her dolls butt-crack, oh and her pet rock.

Your daughter named all her dolls butt crack?
That's really very funny
