Now OT [skip] Dendrobium cucumerinum x 2
Hmmmm. Despite four questions I couldn't answer, I came up 66% - definitely
Dixie. 1. "Aunt" rhymes with "far", of course. 7. Addressing a group of people - what about "none of the above"? 17. Covering a house with toilet paper???????? 20. Bug that rolls up - never heard of it, let alone do I have a name for it.

Dave, I sure if the shoe was on the other foot we'd never understand common
Australian/New Zealand regionalisms. The Aunt/Ant thing really does catch my ear, however. Anyone saying Aunt sounds too, too posh to me, LOL! Like they're putting on airs. But then I said the-ay-ter instead of thea-ter until my college roomates needled me into line. As to 17) You haven't lived! Cleaning up the day after in the morning dew is fun! http://www.wikihow.com/Toilet-Paper-a-House And 20) see http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pill%20bug I'm sure you've got them in the garden somewhere.

Anyone saying Aunt sounds too, too posh to me, LOL! Like they're putting on airs. But then I said the-ay-ter instead of thea-ter A friend I used to work with hailed from Maine. He had been out here for some 15 years & still said "tomayto", where we say "tomarto". His comment was similar to yours - despite how long he had been out here (and he had unconsciously adopted many Aussie pronunciations), he felt he was trying to be posh saying "tomarto", & consciously resisted it. Amusingly, he was a redhead, and you know how they just don't show their age. I thought he was about Ann's & my age, and when he spoke of his kids I assumed they were about the same as ours. So, when we went to his place for dinner, we took a box of chocolates for the "children", as well as wine for the adults. Hello!! The youngest "child" of their three was 19, & all were out working! And he was some 15 years older than us. until my college roomates needled me into line. As to 17) You haven't lived!

But then we were in a ranch style area not an area with two story homes. Guess I will have to go try Kath's test. Growing up in WI I should not find a southern bias.

Wherever did you folks get this idea? It not only seems incredibly rude, in fact probably criminal, but highly wasteful as well. Probably could get someone shot as well in certain areas (including this one). |
