Not regional.... BUT definitely colloquial


ARE YOU WILLING TO: This means you better do it.

FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of "those" arguments.

FIVE MINUTES: This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

NOTHING: This means "something" and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and will end with the word "Fine".

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows): This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows): This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care". You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine", and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here arguing with you over "Nothing".

SOFT SIGH: Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sigh" means that she is content. Your best bet is not to move or breathe, and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead". At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

PLEASE DO: This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".

THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say "you're welcome".

THANKS A LOT: This is much different than "Thanks". A woman will say "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh" as she will only tell you "Nothing".

"Chuck us a sling," -aussie-ism

I thought Davenport was midwestern for couch

expressway, turnpike, highway, thoroughfare

F-Blinny got the socal-eeze of saying "the" before the number of a municipal roadway. that one really bugs me as it spreads.

The way Coloradans (aka Greenies) often (mis)pronounce Vedawuoo

Aposthrophe s, after anything in Ute slang, ie Zion's National park.

Indian Creek. emphasis on the first or second word?



"Put his brain on a razor blade and it would look like a bb on a four lane freeway."

Madam palm and her five ...
-that one may not be regional

Also regional pronunciations, beyond accents. What is on top of a house? a rooooof? a Ruof? - I use both.

How about a climb? is it a rooot? or a raoute?

hey watusi -

how about Irish toast?

(take on french toast, take two to four slices of bread, dunk them in a bowl of whiskey, throw the toast in the trash and drink the bowl...)

When Hell freezes over

Like peas in a pod

Like a cat on a hot tin roof

Blind as a bat

Sly as a fox

Fast as a deer

Flat as a pancake

Dumb as a stick

Too close for comfort

And lastly,, Ya,all ain't from around here are ya?

I love hearing the words:

"Ya'll ain't gonna believe this sh#t..."
especially since it usually follows with someones cousin finding (or stealing) some blasting caps or other explosives...yeeeehoo!
