I knew you would have a good source for this...thanks. So, the fact that my favorite color is blue means nothing...

"I knew you would have a good source for this...thanks. So, the fact that my favorite color is blue means nothing..."

It could but you'd be hard pressed to prove it.

I kidded my mother and her Southern accent for years...she would say, "You need a haar cut." Then I discovered that haar is Old German for hair. (I wonder where that would lead, lol)

Also, I read a while back that the Southern accent in the US is closer to the accent of the English of the 16-17 century, moreso, than the English spoken by the English themselves today. So....

There's little doubt that, "When in Rome, do as the Romans", leads all the way back to Roman times, eh?
Your preference for blue may have a similar long history. I do strongly believe that these sorts of things persist in families, clans and cultures.

It's Always Something. (IAS)

Fe-fe, fi-fi, fo-fo, fum
I smell smoke in the vomitorium
Charlie Blam, Charlie Blam
He wears a tam, that Charlie Blam
He’s gonna get “dissed”
Just you wait and see
(Why’s everybody always pictin’ on me)
That’s him on his knees
I know that’s him
Lickin’ up the mead that spilt
Wind a blowin up his kilt
Charlie Blam, Charlie Blam
He’s on the lam, that Charlie Blam
He’ll never lay a gael
Just you wait and see
(Why’s everybody always pictin’ on me)
Who’s always writing runes on the wall
Who’s always goofing in the Halle
Who’s always throwing stone balls
Guess who (who, me) yeah, you
Who walks into StoneHenge, cool and slow
Who calls the English ruler, Daddy-O
Charlie Blam, Charlie Blam
He’s a scam, that Charlie Blam
He’s gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why’s everybody always pictin’ on me)
