A question for my Yankee frens

Damn. What part of the state are you from? Lol

 

Europe

 

"you's standing On Line"...?? fk no, Standing IN Line...

 

Ignorant is not knowing the origins of the language you speak.

 

Above the NC line as in VA? That would make @Dave K a pink shirt wearing, knife wielding hippie Yankee!

 

Now THAT is NEPA fo sho!

 

Turkey Hill Iced Tea. Heynah. Beer Barn. I grew up in that area of NEPA!

 

Indeed.

In þat lond ben trees þat beren wolle, as þogh it were of scheep; whereof men maken clothes, and all þing þat may ben made of wolle. In þat contree ben many ipotaynes, þat dwellen som tyme in the water, and somtyme on the lond: and þei ben half man and half hors, as I haue seyd before; and þei eten men, whan þei may take hem. And þere ben ryueres and watres þat ben fulle byttere, þree sithes more þan is the water of the see. In þat contré ben many griffounes, more plentee þan in ony other contree. Sum men seyn þat þei han the body vpward as an egle, and benethe as a lyoun: and treuly þei seyn soth þat þei ben of þat schapp. But o griffoun hath the body more gret, and is more strong, þanne eight lyouns, of suche lyouns as ben o this half; and more gret and strongere þan an hundred egles, suche as we han amonges vs. For o griffoun þere wil bere fleynge to his nest a gret hors, 3if he may fynde him at the poynt, or two oxen 3oked togidere, as þei gon at the plowgh.

Any questions?

 

Just one. WTF?!?!?!?!?

 

Da fuk?

 

Way to cut in front of me dick.

 

That is Middle English, the origin of our language.

Steeltoe wasn’t sure that I understood the origins of our language. I am pretty sure I do

 

Well aren't you just so fucking self confident. Congratulations! You get a cookie!

 

Always.

 

Wouldn’t the origin of our language be Olde English, or early English, surely not middle English, like after people had been using it for awhile.....

 

Don't argue with the expert. He know ERRRRYTHANG!!!!

 

Exactly when do you think the US was colonized?

 

Yes

 

I'm sure we'll all get it wrong so just go ahead and tell us Einstein.
