My bad. I mis-wrote. I say it "re-fridge-er-ate-er" too. I didn't mean to put emphasis on "a-tor".

Television has reduced language differences somewhat, I think. People are now able to learn California and New York accents as alternatives to their native accent.

My Dad's family came from Texas during the Great Depression, "Grapes of Wrath" style. He pronounces the invisible "R" like "warsh your hands" and "You want some squarsh".

Did you want rice with your *Ferjitas*?

Torrere · 12-24-2002, 03:23 PM

"verge", eh? that's a heck of a lot of a better word for it than "tree lawn" or "beltway" or "terrace"!

No, it isn't. But you're still too young to follow <a href="http://www.deviantdesires.com/map/mappics/map81002.gif">this link</a> in AU. So don't.

But not to worry:

You shall be very proud and great
And tell the other girls and boys
Not to meddle with your toys.

Perhaps <a href="http://www.cellar.org/member.php?&action=getinfo&userid=205"> this user</a> warshes clothes.

Or not. :-)

You've thoroughly warped my sense of reality, Maggie.

And I'm trying to start another entomological aberration:

"CokeOrPepsi"

Because I'm REALLY tired of 'Oh, we only have [Pepsi | Coke]'

Just charge me $1.50 for $0.06 worth of whatever caffeinated Car-a-mel colored carbonated Corn Syrup crap you've got.

Dagney

Who's naughty just about every day of the week if this is the definition of it

wolf · 12-26-2002, 03:57 PM

Your association with BrianR hasn't convinced your folks you're naughty??

You can say that, but the response will still be "Is Pepsi OK?"

Torrere · 12-26-2002, 05:51 PM

I hate those colas. They're both disgusting.
