I don't know how I'd respond to someone who said they were "on line" while clearly standing in a queue.

I imagine all FOFC posters speaking in exaggerated accents appropriate for wherever they currently reside, or whatever place I associate with them.

My friends in California would give me a hard time about shit like this. When I asked them what kind of coke they wanted. "Um, the legal kind?" "No dumbass, Coke, Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper..."

I know this is well-worn internet territory, but still - Pepsi is not a kind of Coke. Just stop it with that. For the good of your family.

"On-line" has always bothered me.

And here in the Seattle area, they say "beg" for bag, and "begel" for bagel

People in the county south of St Louis say "Farty-Far" for forty four. As for Os.

Living in Iowa I called it a pop. Now I call it a soda.

To people outside St. Louis, it sounds like everyone in St. Louis calls it Farty Far. Quartah for quarter is another thing we mock St. Louis for.

My grandpa (who is still going strong at 93 despite being born with polio and having one leg 10" shorter than the other) was born way up in the NC mountains

Has the strangest accent mixture Ive ever run across.
Some of my favorites of his
Fire and Tire rhyme with Tar (as in tar and feather)...however far does not rhyme with any of these.

Groceries go in a poke.
Coke/Pepsi etc are sodie waters

Anything that needs to be done will be done Die-wreckly...which is som abomination of directly, but it means after a while not directly.

He uses here and there backwards..."I am sitting right there why are you way over here"...his brothers (all 7 that I met at least; there 19 of them) all did this weirdness.

The person operating a motor vehicle is "riding it"...makes for confusion when you are going somewhere and he says "You gonna let me ride?" Sure come on...and he will get in the drivers seat, "you said I could ride"

anyway..thanks for posting this and making me think of him, just called him up and we are going to have lunch together tomorrow.
