<![CDATA[I know the southern hill talk...the rest blew my mind!<br />
My Jan is from Texas and they have their own language out there, too, like "shines like a dime in a goat's butt", "hold her head up Newt she smells alfalfy", "yankee dime".<br />
And then there's the American truck driver language...I speak that one fluently! lol.<br />
Great job Anne as always!<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FSpoken-English-Misunderstood.126781%23comment154510"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FSpoken-English-Misunderstood.126781%23comment154510" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Thanks everyone, for reading and leaving your entertaining comments. Kirsty, I know about the book, but I hadn't realised that your brother wrote it.  When I first came to live in Bristol, I would've needed a book like that to help me understand what was being said to me;-)<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FSpoken-English-Misunderstood.126781%23comment153208"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FSpoken-English-Misunderstood.126781%23comment153208" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Its amazing how areas create their own vocabulary, the Bristol one is my favourite obviously and not sure if you know but my brother wrote the Bristolian dictionary 'That be Bristle' which is full of more Bristolian slang and a very funny read.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FSpoken-English-Misunderstood.126781%23comment152861"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FSpoken-English-Misunderstood.126781%23comment152861" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[I bet some of the things we say sound unusual to them also. This is quite entertaining. It reminds me of learning to understand some of the common things said in NY when I lived there. It can be a bit confusing at first. Thank you for sharing.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FSpoken-English-Misunderstood.126781%23comment150620"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purpleslinky.com%2FHumor%2FSpoken-English-Misunderstood.126781%23comment150620" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
