In the 1990's, we moved to s.w. Missouri and my only neighbors were a deaf couple. Until I learned ASL, I had posted a small chalk board in my kitchen to communicate with them. One day the husband came in and writes that his pick up won't start. We lived on the outskirts of a small village with a auto repair shop. Being too far to walk, I wrote on the board, "Do you want me to run you over?". His eyes became wide and he started backing out the door saying 'No!, No!". My husband came out of his office and saw what I had written and started laughing. I am born and bred Pennsylvania Dutch and my neighbor being deaf knew nothing of "dialect". I still revert to saying things like:
"Throw me down a pair of socks", or "Put out the lights". |
Boyfriends boss used to say, Expect nothing, and you wont be dissapointed, lol!

I use that one A LOT. I also like a saying my dad used, "How we're cooking with gas" and "Bale out" (whenever we arrived at our destination on a road trip).
