After reading the "Redneck" thread, I thought some folks might have some commom lingo from New York City,.only cause my oldest is coming up to get away for a bit,...

Gidotadare = If yous don gidotadare (get out of there), I'm callin da cops...

Fuhgetaboudit = (classic), If yous think I'm gonna pay dat, yous can fuhgedaboudit...

Youts = Dos youts ovahdare are messin up da street...

Yous = you

Da Bronx

Joisey = I godda couzin ovah in Joisey

Tawkin = yous tawkin to me?

Leave it to a Ct. guy to scew it up....:violent1: (justkiddin with ya.)

Gidotadare = GeAuttada

Youts = say it just like what a young/baby goat is. Ut's. Refurs to Youths

Yous (or simpley U's) = You guys, much like a southerner say's You all = Ya'll. In which that may be misspelled. I ain't a southerner.:thumblef:

Da Bronx - self explanatory.:bball:

Tawkin = talking. The example was really good though. :hello1:

Joisey = The Garden State, New Jersey. Mid and southern are beautiful. Northern may be a bit to city for you southern folk.


Let's not forget the famous L.I. twist of nasal/potato in throat. LawnGuylnd = Long Island. ;)

Cawfee = Coffee Say it like "Caw" the bird call (crow) and then simply "fee" just relaxed and lower.

Dawg = Dog. As in Hot Dog or your pet, it is the same.

AND, of course, the #1 word, not words and not properly spelled either Fuhgetaboudit is a one word cover it all saying/word that defies a one explaination but will cover a whole lotta stuff, ja-know waddaImean?

:la: Lugnut, Excellent, I love it!
