I love that phrase. I need to use it more often. I think I'll start by using it on my ex, who is easily befuddled by strange english idioms.

And for anyone who has ever doubted Lola's Southernness... note the use of the word 'tote'. See, ya'll out west/north/east may tote guns, or occasionally have a tote bag, but a southerner will conversationally tote anything, anywhere, anytime. :)

I'm so darn southern that I didn't realize that northerners don't tote. How do they haul stuff if they don't tote? :confused:

I've noticed that.
I'm from Tennessee, originally, but I'm in California. When I lived on a ranch, I used to tote bales to the cattle, and horses; tote sacks of grain; tote calf feed formula...
Lots of things northerners / westerners don't do... They don't sop up gravy with biscuits, either... Weird...

Yeah, nothing like a nice colloquialism to befuddle those non-southerners. I used to work with some nice fellas out of Montreal (2 of them originally from Quebec City) and it drove them nuts when I'd use some of those nice turns of phrase.

Me: "Jaeatchet?"
Them: "Oui?"
Me: "Jaeatchet?"
Them: "Huh?"
Me: <while waggling fingers> "DID... Y'ALL... EAT... YET...?"

I have to admit, it was fun at times, kinda like payback for those times we would be in meetings and they would all start suddenly talking in french in mid discussion, and I get to sit there and look like an idiot until they would finally turned to me and say "Oui. It is decided."

Well, they.... um... ya know, I dunno. I guess they just let southerners do all the totin'.

Huh. Hey, Pierceatwork's originally from the land of annoyingly repetitive Rockytop renditions too. A Vol stuck in California. My condolences :)

Dang. How the heck do they get their leftover gravy then? Lick the plate?

I would try to entertain the masses with my witty repoitoire, but, well... I just exhausted that by saying 'repoitoire'.

Uh, that's "repertoire". Or possibly "repartee". Exhausted yet? :D

And I live on the West Coast. I sop up non-fat soy gravy with granola clusters. And I LIKE it!!!

(Okay, I don't. I come from stoic prairie stock, and we keep eating mashed potatoes until there's no more gravy left. Biscuits are TOO tasty. If God had meant for us to enjoy our meals, he'd've given us taste buds. Er.)
 


barsoomcore, bless your heart, I couldn't have said it better.

Give me a rare fillet mignon and a potato covered with all the fixins and I'm in heaven.

Yeah, um, that was part of that little joke there. Or was supposed to be. Obviously I exhausted that repertoire of repartee before I got there. Yeah, I've not been sleeping much either. Ok, really, I have no excuse.

Ah. The way I make my taters you dont even want gravy.

barsoomcore said:
Actually, that's not entirely true, either. My sour cream and dill mashed potatoes with garlic, butter and pepper will win any heart.

Wow. Add a little cream cheese, and you've got Ledded's famous 'no gravy' taters. Coincidence? Or do great minds (or stomachs) just think alike?
