I love that people play with words and turn them into something completely new! It's how we get new words in the languate after all. Who knows? one of them may end up in ye olde' OED (which is no longer published in book form - more's the pity) best, sunshine

I don't give a rats ass. Dumber than a hubcap. Fuck me naked. And from the Irish, "rasher" for your pussy

"Shot with a shit pistol" - ugly "uglier than home-made sin" - "40 miles of bad road" - ugly "horsepuckey" - bullshit "hornier than a four-peckered billygoat" Southern colloquialisms are sometimes hard to figure out. For instance, "pot likker (liquor)". Generally, unless one were born in the South, one wouldn't know that this refers to the liquid left in the pot after dishing out greens.

If I recall correctly, Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer, and possibly Sir Walter Scott were the most frequently cited sources in the OED's first edition. My main man Dryden also ranked high and was quoted as authoritative on the issue of whether "protagonist" could ever be pluralized (it can! it can!) or whether a story/sporting event/historical event could only by definition ever have a single protagonist. I think Johnson (via Boswell) was the deciding factor in whether "anxious" and "eager" could technically be used interchangeably (Oxford says yes!) or whether the nuance of dread implied in "anxious" made it a wholly unacceptable synonym. The evolution of the first OED is colorful and endlessly fascinating! I think it would be a hoot if, in some future society, Kanye and Jay Z are appealed to as sources as to whether "fly" and "dope" can be used interchangeably. They should not be, by the by. "Fly" and "dope" should not be used interchangeably, I mean. Yeezy and Jay Z are absolutely authorities! ETA The final two sentences. quote: ORIGINAL: sunshinemiss I love that people play with words and turn them into something completely new! It's how we get new words in the languate after all.

quote: ORIGINAL: sunshinemiss Well, if you talk about things like: "bless your heart".... Wait... this isn't a bad thing. When I use it sarcastically, it comes out "well, bless your little pea-picking heart." [:)] I've picked up a few Brit colloquialisms from friends on the other side of the pond. Some have become much more common here in the States since "Harry Potter", but a few still cause puzzled looks from those here at home: Take the mickey... Bob's your uncle... Prat... Sometimes it isn't exactly the words, but the sentence structure: Makes an interesting way to call someone on their behavior, that. Prat. [;)]

Is "Bob's your uncle" British? I've been saying that since High School, and gosh I had never met anyone from Britain... didn't until... um... wewll... when did I first meet a Brit? Five years ago? Dunno. (there's one I picked up "dunno")

VaguelyCurious -> RE: New Phrases (5/22/2011 4:12:30 PM)
Dunno is English?!? I thought it was universal. (But then I'm maybe not the best person to ask. I was in my mid teens before I noticed that kissing your teeth didn't mean 'no' in English like it does in Hebrew.)

(there's one I picked up "dunno") Hmmm... I dunno, either. [;)] I assumed it was because it was from Brits that I learned it, and I'd never heard it used here in the States. Having a google, it seems the origin isn't quite clear. There does seem to be a consensus of sorts that the phrase is used mainly in Britain and the Commonwealth nations. Of course, that doesn't preclude it being commonly used elsewhere.
