You have to move away from Lee County. That would make you smarter.

Might make Lee County smarter, too...

Addition by subtraction.

like when Diane left Cheers. I get it

 

[Isaiah 63:1]

…It’s kind of like asking, “Where’s the car at?” “At” is redundant. The question should be, “Where’s the car?”...

Reminds me of the joke about the Alabama boy looking for the library at Harvard…

…Isaiah 63:1, you and I could have huge fun debating grammar.

Sadly, we’d both agree that that’s fun!

Agreed. The first syllable of “irregardless“ is redundant.

It’s kind of like asking, “Where’s the car at?” “At” is redundant. The question should be, “Where’s the car?”

Well southerners use “at” and “mash” a lot. But it’s probably just jargon. I mean have you heard Brits use “me” in place of “my”. Each culture has different forms of slang. It’s what makes the English language hard to fully learn.

“Mash”? In place of smash, crumple, etc?

 

[CajunCrimson]

“Mash”? In place of smash, crumple, etc?

Cajuns use “me”. Like, “I need that me”. It’s because of literal French translations back in the day. And it stuck for many.

Alot of midwesterners and Northerners use "smash" and push.

 

[seebell]

One day y'all won't have me to make fun of. Watcha gonna do then?

 

[Bamaro]

“Mash”? In place of smash, crumple, etc?

Instead of push like push/mash the button.

Irregardless has somehow become a word because people are dumb. It is not. Be smarter.

Going nukular on 'em!

If you can’t participate without doing this, go to Tiger Droppings.

The only place I've ever been banned for saying nice things about people. No kidding. Thankfully, they are not representative of 80% of LSU fans.

Wait..."Alot" is not a word. It's two words. "A lot". Just saying, since we're talking grammar.

Im not a grammar Nazi so mostly I don't care as long as it is not a totally made up word like irregardless. Yes if I am writing something professionally I am going to look it over before I submit it or send it out. But as far as the " Where are you going to be at" type of issues in common conversations, I really don't have an issue with it as long as I can understand what someone means by it.

While we are on the subject, could someone tell John Parker Wilson that the word is not "Xpecially?" Man, I cringe every time I hear him on the radio and he says it 500 times on every broadcast.

Mash that button for me....

 

[CoolBreeze]

Mash that button for me....

Yea, I've been fixin to mash that button since I was a kid growing up in Irondale.

When asked “Where are you at?” my father would respond “Between the A and the T…..”

That’s kinda like “axing” a question........a co worker of mine says that from time to time and someone will inevitably say “ watch out, we got a killer in here”

"Ax" for "ask" is so ancient, Chaucer uses it in Canterbury Tales. "At" at the end of the sentence for location descended to us from the viking raider/settlers. It's still common in the western Norwegian dialects...
