That's okay. It's pretty clear.

alligator pear = ?
beignet = Delicious is what they are; can keep that burnt coffee. Blech.
flying horses = mosquitos or a Mobil Station
po boy = a sandwich
lagniappe = A little something extra.
zink = Wrench it off in the 'zink.
ginny woman = I would guess a Italian woman; who knows from down da buy-ya?
shotgun house = a long house that if you shoot a shotgun through the front door it will go through all the rooms and out the back
Schwegmann's bag = Brown Grocery store bag from defunct Schwegmans Grocery line.

mattcage, you pretty well got 7 of them but, DUH, you're in Louisiana. You should have done a little better.

neutral ground = median

banquette = sidewalk

alligator pear = avocado

beignet = Type of donut

PO boy = sandwich but its gotta be made from the right stuff to be all dressed

lagniappe = a little extra

zink = duck sound or call

ginny woman = male gossip maybe gender challenged

shotgun house = Long narrow house with all the rooms on one side. Some places you access the rooms from an outside veranda.

Schwegmann's bag = Brown paper grocery bag used by a New Orleans store

I got some spare time. Too sore and stiff to do anything!
Spent about 11 hours yesterday doing yard work, undercoating trailer and crawling around underneath the truck knocking off rust. Did so well there's a metal cooling line that now needs replacement.

Egon, getting 10 out of 11 and living in Canada is impossible. You had to use some of that spare time on google.

neutral ground = median

banquette = sidewalk

alligator pear = avocado

beignet = Type of donut

flying horses = carousel

po boy = A sandwich made on french bread

lagniappe = a little something extra

I think I'll make another list and start a new thread on it. Do any of you have a lot of local words to make a thread on?

Ya, I was going to mention something about that.

Pardon me please,... er,..ahem,..SCUSE ME?.....Just to get back to the thing on your head or what your smokin there for a sec:

Don't want to see you fellas, (jimmy for one) and others,...spelling tuque with an "o" as in "toque". Remember, "tuque" is the hat,...but "toque" is "mary-jane", so be careful out there, . . . I don't want to catch you "smokin-yer-hat" or "wearing-funny-grass" on your head!!

Try to read this with a twisted French-Cdn-Newfy twang:... Mind byes, years ago in the b'low-zero cold of a Port Perry (or Cobalt) winter's eve, de odd feller'd be seen pullin 'ees tuque down tight, while takin a toque er two wit 'ees tart while waitin fer 'ees "T" to warm a tad, (er in my case, 'ees "A", model Ford), wit a wood-burnin-flame neath the ile-pan! But, dem days is long gone fer shore, hey, hey! wha-da-ya-say.......eh?

Boy Oh Boy,...this has turned into a "wordsmith's" nightmare,....but oh, so very interesting to be sure!! "Keeps 'er rollin byes" !!! Jist cuz our countries are side-by-each, don't means we gotta talk such like! But day ain't side-by-each really,....days above'n'blow or one-atop-d'udder,...if ya gits-me-drift?

Take care and lets see where this one goes,...I'm enjoying it!
CHEERS!

Not sure who posted it here, but last night I used my wife's shaver on my head - and it works much better than man's shaver. Thanks for the tip, whoever made it.

 

[ToadHill]

After years of fighting windstorms with my combover, I now just set the clippers as short as they will go.

That would be a definite no-no at our house.
How long have you been married and do you want to stay that way?

If you used her Venus razor just don't shave your chest. Besides just being wrong (in my book), I'm told it will remove your nips quite easily which, I'm told, is quite painful.

Will expect to see your next posting in the projects section--building a shed to live in after being booted from the house.

 

[czechsonofagun]

Actually, she started it. At least once she was out of her razors and used mine - payback time

As far as chest shaving, long time ago, in college, my girlfriend told me in challenging words that I can not surprise her no more.
I shaved my chest completely and boy, was she surprised next time we had a romantic moment together, LOL. Gotta say, I didn't get lucky that night and she kind of failed to see the humor in that surprise
And it itched a storm too, when it was growing back.

 

[polo1665]

Used to shave my head, skin didn't put up with it so well. Now I use the Wahl clippers set at nil (no attachment). I've pretty much given up growing anything up there.

By the way, for tugboat-2, this is a toque. Not to be smoked unless you are desperate.

Is this a tractor forum or what? The only advantage to being bald is in a fight, no hair to grab.

 

[2manyrocks]

We already said one advantage to being bald is that your hair won't get caught in a PTO. This is a tractor forum after all.

 

[dmccarty]

There was a front page article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday about people cutting there own hair to save money.

TBN beat the WSJ to the story.....

Later,

The google ads on the bottom of the page are a bit of a change from the usual now... I think this may be the first time venus razors have been advertised on TBN

No head lice, either.

Funny! The ad at the bottom when I checked was for learning to bar tend.

I STILL get venus razors. I hope this isn't google telling me something
