The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

My relatives in SC make fun of me. They'll try to get me to say certain words just to hear me say them in Baltimore-ese. It's like we don't open our mouths all the way, so stuff comes out...not quite right.

There've been times where I've said to someone, "I'm from Baltimore" only to get a laugh and a "Yes you are!" because I pronounce is "Balmer". Only all of the syllables are there just really fast.

I don't do all of these, but this is accurate...and the more tired I am, the worse it is...

I think you’ve posted this before, but,
yep, that’s the “owen”, and some other stuff I’ve heard them pronounce…!!!!!

"Down the ocean"

Dear Lord, I knew my Baltimore accent comes out when I'm tired, but that's just...

In the video you posted, I actually heard that as “Danny Ocean”…!!!!!

The cat looks slightly hesitant, but, the dog looks like “Cover me. I’m goin’ in…!!!”…!!!!!

If only anyone knew just how much self control I had to use to not comment on those two posts. Now I see that ulcer was all in vain. I'll know better next time. That's probably what he said too!

Yea, I almost went there too, but, as I suspected, I’m way too late and knew someone else already dared to go there…!!!!!

Isn’t Tuesday also known as “Second Monday”…?!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Hey, we're both right! (My reference to 3 generations, was about the 3 fathers present -- for Father's Day.) You're also correct in the overall number of generations of peeps there, for the family celebration -- with Emy and Audrey.)

Fun times for all !

Ahhh, gotcha’…!!!

Dear Swarls, thank you for sharing. However, it's a tiny image and I can't see the words.

I just zoomed it in on my phone…?!

Oh, and Down the Ocean means Ocean City. It doesn't mean any other beach.

Ask them to say "Aaron earned an iron urn."

Depending on where in MD they're from, it might come out as "Ern Ern 'n Ern Ern."

Happy Farm Market Saturday

Happy Farm Market Saturday

Coincidentally, I'm going to our farmers market today. I'm not going for okra though. There is a really good seafood restaurant there that's located about 120 miles from the sea. Our Farmers Market is huge and every booth has exactly the same product for sale at approximately the same price, so location is the key. The ones closest to where one parks their car, is usually the one to use.

Well deserved!!! I think back through the years of ups and downs (not to mention, how you somehow maneuvered your way through a few years of covid restrictions, etc.) -- and now your business is #1 !!! Your dedication, hard work, and creativity shine!
