i have used "wiscy" at just about every chance- at first for the abbreviated simplicity, but later because i just plain like it...
being from tennessee, i wouldn't know what the hell someone was talking about if it was referred to as 'tenny'... or living in the carolina's, would look upon someone as if bone structure was growing from their forehead if they called themselves collectively 'carols'.... i once pissed off
@CWSooner using okey shorthand for, well, okey... i use it all the time now just because..... but wiscy? (with a C) that's just plain cool, or as the Big12 crew likes to say it's "hella cool", isn't that right
@CharleyHorse46 ? ....
my connection to Michigan is through the iron region of the UP... they have a bad rap- but hell, i like it up there, and prefer to drive through wiscy to get there. they think i talk funny. it gets me free beer sometimes in the bars... i tell them my name is tenny and they don't ask anything or even look at me funny. they're ALL packer fans- i screwed up badly last year announcing that i liked Aikman and Buck... they stopped giving me beer when i did that so i had to move to another bar, where the guy at the bar had a name Laura or laury or something real close to that, so i told him with a straight face my name was carol...
people take that aikman/buck thing way too damn serious.
haji's hate to be called MF'r... i once missed two Qatari fighter pilots come to blows ending with one shooting the other in the face (dude lived) by about five minutes... because one jokingly called the other a MF'r.... hell, that could have been me. i use that descriptor as often as i do 'darlin' when discussing my wife, truck, or boat...
and since we're discussing things that really don't matter- just today i was standing outside polluting the air with an american spirit adjacent a group of Marines who were present for some training... young guys... i don't understand them anymore.. young people, that is... they laugh at shit that is only humorous (to them) because it's random.... one of them was talking about 'leave' season approaching where most of them head out for the holidays- and said "i'll be free as a bird for at least a week or two".... there was a pause while everyone lit their smokes, and another of them said one of those random things, but this one actually caught me funny and and elicited a giggle- he said "i don't know why everyone say's 'free as a bird'.... i've never seen a bird just fuckin' off"... well... he has a point.
none of them must be from okey because they all laughed, too. maybe they're sconners, mostly. i thought i hears a few discussions about "bah's" though- which if you don't know are what yankees call watering holes- not the yorker yankees, but the ones way up north of them but not so north they're willing to "live free or die".
anyway.... somebody come over and answer my water heater question in the general board so i'll shut up.
