Thread: American English Dialects

  1. American English Dialects

    http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~golder/dialect/index.html


    A study of dialect by state. Quite interesting.

    You betcha.
    bastard of the new world order.

  2. Jeet?

    No, jew?

    Pennsylvania is the only place I know of that can shorten a three word sentence, into one monosylabic word, and still have it comprehended by another person. "Did you eat?" "No. Did you?"

  3. This still doesn't explain to me why people type "loose" when they are referring to misplacing an object or not winning something.

  4. It's a potato bug, damnit!

    That many people "mow the lawn"?

    You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

  6. Oh come on! Over half of the country uses the term "tp'ing" when what they are actually doing is "rolling"? Bunch of weirdos.


  7. WHat the Hell are you talking about, Chibs? Clarify. I'll be damned if I'm wading through all of those entries just to see what the holy Hell you're trying to say.

    When I throw toilet paper all over someone's house, I'm tp'ing it. Sorry.

    And anyone that says "pop" instead of soda is a fag.
    HA! HA! I AM USING THE INTERNET!!1

  9. Oh come on. You know you want to wade through. Fun stuff in there.

    I don't know what's sadder: That over 20% of the country uses the wrong term for "shotgun", or that 6.5% don't have any term at all for it.
