LadyJean BS: translations from across the pond (49) RE: BS: translations from across the pond 30 Jul 11


Thank you for Forty Seven Ginger Headed Sailors!

I'm from Pittsburgh where we say things like:

"Yinz need to redd up in here. There's gum bands all over the floor."

"Watch it, the sidewalk is slippy."

"The lady next door is a real neb."

"Watch out for them jaggers on the rosebush."

Many of these expressions are from Scots dialect. But people named Kowalsky or DePasquale use them.
