That visual really says it all.<br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001332.post-1102444681545583882004-12-07T13:38:00.000-05:002004-12-07T13:38:00.000-05:00We say all those things.

Also, someone who is cheap might be, "Tighter than Dick's hatband." Don't forget, "Howdy" which I like to say to New Yorkers when I'm jogging.<br /><br />The one New York saying that gets us is "on line." You aren't in line, but on line. Next on line please.

As in, "Can you carry me up to the mall to buy a shirt?" or "They're going to carry us to the football game so we don't have to drive." I always have an image of Mike hefting his passenger on his back and taking off on foot to his destination.Pigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808308057095231750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001332.post-1102008008831521002004-12-02T12:20:00.000-05:002004-12-02T12:20:00.000-05:00The "Whenever" is used here in Catawba County all ...The "Whenever" is used here in Catawba County all the time and it drives me nuts. The word "Library" is another one- here it is "Libary". Also, I hear, "Go and get you some food". The "you" is supposed to be understood without saying it, but it's included in these sentences anyway. Another example: "He's got him some nice pants." Again, "him" is repetitive, and is not necessary. Oh, oh- and what about the word "supposedly"? Has anyone ever heard it said as "supposebly"? That one's funny to hear. I will probably return later as I hear more ideas around the office...Katie Bonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516841244578035294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001332.post-1101957650226108132004-12-01T22:20:00.000-05:002004-12-01T22:20:00.000-05:00I also liked the related NC-ism "might could".

Similar to "used to could", but in the present tense. :) Another favorite of mine was "cut on" used (rather than "turn on") in the context of "cut on the light", but that's more of a SC thing than NC.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607891835810888915noreply@blogger.com
