www.blogthings.com/wherefrom.html

THIS IS THE BEST SITE EVER! If you're from the US, pick a state/city you're from. It gives you a list of rreally steryotypical phrases/actions from your city/state. Im from Chicago...AND THEY'RE ALL TRUE! (i.e. Referring to Lake Michigan as 'the lake' and Chicago as 'the city').

Also, they have lists for different ethniticities and religions...check it out! I was laughing so hard I practically cried!

ALABMA: Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

Is this not normal behaviour? lol, I actually know people who have done that. There's a book out about crazy Alabama football fans right now called Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer (that's a University of Alabama cheer). yay for Alabama football!

[FadeOut889Lift]

lol I know. I was sitting there reading some of the things and laughing but then it hit me...wait, this isn't a normal thing?? LMAO

[Katze]

Aww... Too bad nothing about Austria, Germany or the Netherlands is on it... but it's still quite funny =)

[saturnsoldier990]

I know! Sometimes you don't even realize it 'cause you're just SO USED TO IT!

You say "Wanna go with?" when you mean "Do you want to come with me?"

When I first saw that, I was thinking, "Wait...that's not normal?!?"

You don't pronounce the "s" at the end of Illinois. You become irate at people who do.

Yeah, don't do that in front of a Chicagoan. I don't know about everyone else, but I HATE when people say "Ill-uh-noise". Grrr.

Oh, it is, but some people pronounce the 's' at the end...and you're not supposed too. At least, that's what people around here think.

thanks for putting this link.

[eternalmegan]

well this has inspired me for you all to hear some of my slang from scotland
1. nigeled = is like being left by yourself so you would say " owa ! ah huv been nigled !! "
2. get = this is just what you say for a french kiss " yeh anno ah got him last night "
3. healfi = this is healthy but just said in a scottish accent but it means hot or good looking " aww hes pure healfi ! "
4. rank = disgusting "eew thats rank ! "
5 . roached whoch is just the same as rank
there is so many more but there is just a few and ell there was this film made in scotland about neds ( bams , um just people that fight alot , are bad ) and well and even though they were speaking english but the way they spoke it and some of the words they said they needed to put subtitles for people who saw it in england who couldnt understand what they were saying
