Author Topic: I know right? Paul J. Neuhaus Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Iraq.. Again! Registered: Jun 2005 posted 11-28-2005 12:19 PM                     Not to get on a George Carlin kick but he is right here. Weak language for weak minds. Say what ya came to say and or shut your damn mouth!! I don't think it is as much geography as it is gene content. When I was in Alabama and here in North Carolina people say "mash" instead of "push" i.e. "What happens when I mash this button?" Grade A+ School system we have going here.......I know right?!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-28-2005 12:28 PM                        The only thing I can think of around here that people say too much is "Basically." I never heard "I know, right" before. The kids say "we schooled 'em" instead of "we won the game." Or "We got schooled" in place of "we lost."  |  IP: Logged Dieter Depypere Master Film Handler Posts: 343 From: Deutsch-Wagram, Lower Austria, Austria Registered: May 2005 posted 11-28-2005 01:24 PM                     Never heard that term, yet here in Austria there are similar "phrases". Examples: "Ga" or "Gell" if you expect others to say yes; or "wast" (=Weisst --> you know) and stuff like that. Also varies by community.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-28-2005 02:40 PM                        quote: Allison Parsons The kiddies who are into hard rock/metal around here like to say 'Thats SICK!' when something is good. Similar principle to using 'wicked', 'evil' etc. as synonyms for 'highly fashionable/desirable', I guess. Maybe it's a subculture issue - what the mainstream finds a bad thing your subculture finds a good thing, hence your using antonyms as synonyms is a way of indicating that you're part of that subculture; a member of the club, so to speak. Sorry if that doesn't make a lot of sense - I think I know what I mean, anyhow...  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 11-28-2005 02:57 PM                        That phrase is unknown to Kentucky.....it hasn't arrived yet. I think of the South as "Done cha no?" land. Louis  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I was unaware of the existence of the word kiddycorner until several years ago. I didn't feel like having to say "around the corner and down the block" was that troubling.  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-28-2005 06:24 PM                     Havn't heard it here in Atlanta. quote: Greg Mueller When someone says "Ya know what I'm sayin?" I say "Yes, I speak english" Good one, Greg. I'm going to have to remember that one. About the "I'm not sure" thing, I would rather tell someone that I am not sure, then give them what might be a wrong answer.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 11-28-2005 09:11 PM                        quote: Greg Mueller Usually they stop saying it to me after a few times.

Never figured out where he picked up that expression from. quote: Jeremy Fuentes I'll let it slide until she walks up behind me one day reading this thread Get a Privacy Screen to put over the monitor that way she will have to be directly behind you to see it. quote: Daryl C. W. O'Shea She married you, didn't she? Have to admit that was a good one Daryl , But since I have meet Jeremy in person I will have to say he is good people so she can't be all that stupid.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 11-29-2005 03:07 PM                     I grew up on Long Island and in Florida, and I heard "I know, right?" in both places. I have to say that I find myself saying it from time to time. About a month after I moved out here from Florida last year, some coworkers and I went out to lunch. I remember being extremely thirsty, and as soon as the waitress came to take our drink order, without even thinking about it, I said "I'm wicked thirsty!" She said, "You must be from the east coast." I asked how she knew, and she said "Because you said 'wicked.'" That sparked a whole discussion about regional slangs. One of the guys said that I would hear people out here say, "Flip a bitch" to refer to making a u-turn. I laughed so hard. I couldn't imagine that phrase actually being used. Sure enough, one of my friends uses it all the time. That same friend also uses "sick" all the time. But I've never heard either expression from anyone other than him. Certain slang expressions are probably more localized than others. "I know, right?" seems to be pretty common. But "flip a bitch" is not, as I have never heard it until I moved to California. I use "sweet" all the time. I never heard that growing up in New York, but heard it all the time in high school in Florida. Guess that's where I got it from.  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 11-29-2005 03:35 PM                        I never heard of "Flip a bitch" before, but I have heard that when you have to squeeze three people into the cab of a pickup truck, the one sitting in the middle is know to be "riding bitch". If you're riding shotgun in that situation, you can mess with the driver and bitch-rider by ducking your head down to make it look like they are a couple sitting close together. The downside is you may find yourself walking.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-29-2005 08:02 PM                        I don't think I've ever heard "I know, right" in Alabama. Is it said as a question or a sentence without the "question" tone? "Used to could" is an infectious one that I keep finding myself saying.  |  IP: Logged
