You're scaring me, Fred.

I'm kinda hoping some of that intelligence will rub off.

It's okay, you noticed that I didn't say I did any of the languages very well...

As I tell people here, I speak Spanish just fine, it is just that people have problems understanding me.

I know what you mean. I worked real hard to learn New Jersey when I was in the Navy. Had a shipmate from there and we were always talking "at" each other. There was usually someone in the Division that would interpret when they saw that we were having problems. I worked at it real hard

The problem was that, when I tried to talk New Jersey, I confused him and the interpreter too.

Why do you think FDH is so hard to understand? He has lived in NJ, AR and Florida. It all gets mixed up in there and strange phrases comes out...

Being from "TRUE" American stock, I've had to try to communicate in several languages, myself. European "English", "Joisey" Yankee, "Hillbilly", Arkansas, and a mixed bag in Florida. NOW, you give me a hard time tryin to sypher Espanol. Maybe this esplanes why it gets jumble up, at my age, EH ?? Oh yeah, that's Canadian.

Tom · « **Reply #25 on:** November 06, 2005, 11:34:59 am »

Hey! I understand Canadian, eh? Kevin taught me.

You just think so. We will get Marcel to teach you his version of Canadian then you can hop over to Newfoundland.

Tom · « **Reply #27 on:** November 06, 2005, 12:14:59 pm »

I haven't studied Marcel's Canadian and don't think I would do a very good job with it. We have, though, been training Marcell with "Mississippi", especially the Yazoo dialects. He's understanding a pretty good bit of it now, I think.

Well, Tom, I could teach you about half the spanish language (in one word) that you would need aboard ship to talk to those yankees

The SOKIA don't take in no 'pelota de m.........s'

Yo soy un muchacho

That pretty much drains my bowl.

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #30 on:** November 06, 2005, 12:28:54 pm »

Well, Tom, That's pretty good information to have

If you weren't pretty sure of that fact, them guys might snicker and call you a 'malaka'

Voulez-vous cesser de me cracher dessus pendant que vous parlez!

T'as une tête a faire sauter les plaques d'egouts!

On t'a bercé trop près du mur?

And the annual forum gathering is 'Boucherie'

à la carte

laissez-faire

soupe du jour

Hire an interpretor

stop all this nonsense, please.

I come to the FF because I usually understand the language.
growing up in and living in a country where you don't speak the language is a tough life. I know this from first hand experience, I have lived in California my whole life, and I don't speak Spanish.

Tom · « **Reply #33 on:** November 06, 2005, 01:01:10 pm »

This is about the best I could do at the moment.

Want you to cease spitting me above while you speak! Have you a head has to make jump the manhole covers! One rocked you too much close to the wall? And the annual forum gathering is ' Boucherie' with the chart leave-to make soup of the day

deja vu all over again.

Reminds me of being back aboard ship. Is this some kind of New Jersey?

Yeah, Florida is that way too, Solodan

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #34 on:** November 06, 2005, 01:14:29 pm »

Voulez-vous cesser de me cracher dessus pendant que vous parlez!
'Would you stop spitting on me while you're talking!'

T'as une tête a faire sauter les plaques d'egouts!
'You've got a face that would blow off manhole covers'

On t'a bercé trop près du mur?
'As a child, was your cradle rocked too close to the wall?'

And the annual forum gathering is 'Boucherie' = Pig Roast

à la carte = each available separately

laissez-faire = leave it alone

soupe du jour = soup of the day

It was funny reading some of your interpretations

No one seems to have mentioned the preoccupation with GRITS but if you're into them, you'll be a big hit here.

A couple of months ago i made the 2hr drive to the valley to go to The Home Depot. I was completely lost once I got inside, everything was in spanish, I mean everything. every sign was written in spanish, with little English translations underneath. I thought perhaps I had been in the mountains for too long without T.V.

crtreedude · « **Reply #37 on:** November 06, 2005, 02:37:38 pm »

It's only fair, people move here from the USA and can't understand why everyone is speaking Spanish. I kid you not...

crtreedude · « **Reply #38 on:** November 06, 2005, 02:42:23 pm »

I swear, these threads have more curves than a fer-de-lance! I had to check up at the top and see what the original thread was about - after a while they all wander into various topics. Grits, snakes, oh, and even sometimes, wood!
