Good afternoon everyone, My name is Rich and I have been a addict (oops, Enthusiast) since I was a kid watching Midway with my dad. I have read a lot specifically on the Pacific Theater as I have a strong interest in naval combat (games, books,etc.). I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
"Sweepers Sweepers man your brooms give the ship a clean sweepdown for and aft. Sweep down all lower decks ladder wells and passageways; now sweepers" Welcome Aboard Rich!!
Thank you all for the welcome! To answer the above, no I am a yankee trapped south of the international border (the Ohio river!) I find that the river should have been a international border because south of there people start to talk funny and use weird terms (such as buggy=shopping cart, etc. For more information see The Southern Word Homepage: NetSquirrel.com ) On that note GO MICHIGAN!
that is a flawed dictionary. It left out: arn fixin or fixinta cheer the other definintion for poke chaw jeetyet? (this is a actually a compete sentence)
And comomback, as in "straightner out, comomback". Always used to get that sentence when I was backing into a loading dock south of the Mason Dixon line.
I guess that would be alright as long as it wasn't Bill McKinney saying it, that would just be weird.
They also didn't mention: Eyes - those things on top of the stove that get hot. Shurf - The head county law enforcement officer. Actually, the correct title is the High Shurf. His assistants are called "depa-tees." Mi-sippi - the state immediately to the west of Alabama LA - Lower Alabama, the portion of Florida roughly west of Apalachicola
