OK, survey time:
When someone asks you a question starting with “Do you know...” are you tempted to answer “No, but hum a few bars and I’ll fake it”?
Or is that just something I picked up from my family?
My dad and grandparents used to say that all the time but it didn’t take with us. When I saw this WFTD, I thought of all the spam I get about WEN hair. I have no idea what it is; I just hit delete.
just yinz weirdos ; )
wen? now.
I think my MIL used to say that sometimes. But she was more famous for the guy at the Shriner’s convention who said, “i can’t place the name, but the fez is familiar.”
“What’s that thing on your head?”
“Where?”
“On your scalp — that sore.”
“Wen.”
“Whaddya mean ‘when’? Right now, there.”
“WEN.”
“What’re you trying to be a smart@ss?!”
I’m more susceptible to responding “Which way did you come in?” when someone starts out with “Can you help me out?”
Lol when someone says “can I ask you a question” I always say you just did, good day.
I had a brother-in-law who was a jazz musician who used to say that. When something seems like a good plan, I say, “Solid!” Did you have musicians in your family?
Misty and 68 out-beautiful in the woods, where I just came from. So easy to sneak up close on and watch wildlife in the poor visibility-I took my field glasses so I could watch the birds.
Obama let another open mic
Out his agenda and wishes-
Once he is out, will he find
A job even doing dishes?
Or is he like so many now-
Snobs with advanced degrees
Who don’t have the common sense
To get hired to just plant trees
Promising away this country
Isn’t even a well-informed whim-
At any rate, there is no country
World wide that belongs to him...
At the risk of being pedantic-I’m RMFE till they are about to fall out every time someone on TV or a thread says something like Zimmerman is hispanic-not white. I wish people would not confuse race and ethnicity-they are two totally different things-there are only three races known on earth-Negroid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid-AKA black, asian/oriental and white. The left loves to call every ethnic group a “race”, which is incorrect.
There are as many ethnic groups as there are places for them to be from. Hispanics ARE “white” for the most part, but they can also be black (Carribean, parts of S America, etc) or Asian (Phillipines), or a combination of all three races. We also know now that the three races are not pure, and probably haven’t been for 10’s of thousands of years, anyway.
I remember awhile back, well informed newsreaders used to say things like ethnic Serbians, “ethnic Tibetans”, ethnic Nigerians, ethnic Basques etc. correctly identifying people in ethnic groups. What ever happened to that?
