My daughter, being coached earlier in life by two sage and linguistic poets (wife & I ), honed right in on the accent. She said to her teacher: "You from Pittsburgh!" LoL... My daughter then threw me under the bus when the teacher took umbrage to a young kid subtly mocking her. ? My sixth grade teacher, Mr. McIntyre, had a heavy New England accent. We had a Linda in our class. He called her Linder. So, naturally, that became her nickname for the next 6 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother used to say "draw" for drawer and "mirrah" for mirror when I was young. I think she got that from her parents, who were from the Bronx (after moving here from Puerto Rico).

Misterbluesky Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Of you go to the far east,including Hawaii..you notice how healthy most are..earth foods but served with seasoning.I ate very good cabbage rolls with balsamic vinegar,fruit juices and a heavy dark sugar.very good imo. They don't boil them in water..but a fish/seafood stock ( fish heads and blood). My bride won't touch anything like that..but she will eat salted canned asparagus...microwaved. And people say I'm nuts..I Brussel Sprouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, it's up to you! The brussels sprout as we know it was first documented in the late 16th century, but there is no doubt our ancestors were eating it long before then. 1 minute ago, GoBills808 said: It's pronounced 'wooster-sheer' you heathens Fugedaboudit It's called Worst than Rochester Sauce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 5 hours ago, Gugny said: No one says Brussels Sprouts. You know why? Because it's ***** dumb. And another thing. If we pronounce cupboard, "cubberd," why isn't a clipboard a "clibberd?" Because language is an organic, quirky, living thing that changes all the time and is filled with inconsistencies, rules, exceptions to rules, and exceptions to exceptions to rules.
