The one they would always point out that us Chicago area folks would (and do) say is "youse" instead of "you are". |
Ahh Pat...good times! Pat (FastPat, FastPaste), was actually a very interesting and intelligent (imo) fellow from SC who used to be here. I can't do him justice in just a couple of sentences as he was a prolific poster. He was quite passionate, loved to "paste" political stuff, etc., and it was easy for folks to "push his buttons". I don't recall the details, but on one occasion he maybe went a bit "over the line" and I think he was banned, asked to leave, etc. I actually found Pat to be quite likable, but didn't read the "political pastes", so I don't know the details. As far as accents go, I probably just sound funny to many, and although I don't "speak" the language you refer to, I certainly could if I went "oberdare wid 'em"
. You say you lived in Danville...I passed through there on a semi-regular basis whenever I'd head to one of my favorite places...Smith Mountain Lake, one of VA's simply georgous jewels imo.
