Out my way we have some strange ways to convey lighting control.
Out the light
Outen the light All mean to turn the light off
Shut the light
On the light
Open the light All mean to turn the light on
Give light
What is a phrase or saying that people use in your part of the country, that people from out of town probably wouldn't understand?
Although it's not PC correct to say now and I mean no disrespect, but I still hear this all the time.
Hi there ! Haven't seen you in a coon's age ?
coon's age. Also, a dog's age. A very long time, as in I haven't seen Sam in a coon's age, or It's been a dog's age since I went to the ballpark. The first phrase rests on the mistaken idea that raccoons (“coons”) live a long time.
"Do you keep a troshin."
(Kass may know this one, since it is from his neck of the woods). Note, it is not a question, despite appearing like one.
