Thumpin'
 

ok...I'll admit that I don't live in Texas, and have more than my share of trying to translate some of the lingo in to plain ol' New Yawkese, so that I can understand what is being said.
It took me a while to figure (figger) out what tear-or-issstss meant. Terrorists.
And new-cue-lar really means nuclear. I get that one now.
So now, for Pgardn, or anyone else that lives in the Lone Star state, maybe you can help with the translation of the word "thumpin'".
Is it like, "Thumpin' ith happenin' in Iraq that ah don't have a clue bout?"
Or is it, "Ah was thumpin' it whall Laura was raggin' it"?
Or does it mean that something that Nancy Pelosi did under the table while they were having lunch today...you know...so "er, um, we could be friends now that Donnie's gone."
Does this mean another ex-southern governor will be sayin', "Ah did not have six waith that wimman."

Well, Georgie said he got a thumpin' on Tuesday. If one of you Texans can translate that into regular (reglar) good ol' New Yawk speak, it would be much 'preechaiated, if'n yer willin' to do the translatin'.

btw, I think Thumper was one of the nicest rabbits I've ever seen ( Ah've aiver sain). One of Bambi's good buddies.

ps...Ah hope his thumpin' was a goodun.

Apology for the double post, but here's another statement that I've been having a problem translating for a while:
If a "pretend cowboy" scripts a stage act wherein he states, "Ahm a ewe nighter, not a de-vide-her", is he talking about sheep after the sun sets, and claiming to protect them? Or is he really a "de-vide-her", whatever that is.

Ahm a guessin' he's denying being a de-vide-her, after all.
Perhaps some citizens might make it clear to him which one he is...or, er, ummm, maybe they did.

Do people (folks) really speak that way at Andover without risking getting laughed off the campus?
Where's my megaphone? Where's my clothes?

Oh wow... :D

I can't believe you just said that on here. :eek:

I think you are just making funny of Texans. We all know NY people are so much brighter than everyone. Just admit it, you are the typical Democrat that is trying to tell the rest of us how stupid George Bush is. I can't stand the guy, but I wouldn't go making fun of the way the guy talks considering he is smart enough to win the most powerful job in the world. Lot's of rich kids out there that have tried and failed.

Is is any different for Hillary Clinton who like GWB couldn't get elected dog catcher if not for their family members?

McCain or Vilsack will be the next President. :)

Youse suthners tawk strange.
Is a blumpkin an in-bred, second generation one from the pumpkin side of the family? Ya know, Uncle Earl Pumpkin and Auntie Mae Blunkie when they got to thumpin' in the back seat of Bubba's borrowed cheviee maliboo?

You want to know what a blumpkin is, DTS? Please tell me you're kidding... lol.

By the way, the majority of Texans that I know personally do not speak that way. :p

I'm really being serious Jaimie. I have no clue what that word means...never heard it.
DTS

A blumpkin is when a man receives oral sex while taking a dump. LMAO...

Ok... I just spit out my pepsi... FREAKING HILARIOUS!!! :D

I can't believe you brought that up... too damn funny.

Ewww....those suthners have strange bedroom (or bathroom) practices.
Live and learn.
Here I thought it had somethin' to do with Mrs. Blum and Mr. Pumkin.

Anyway...your secret's safe. I don't think I'll be trying that one anytime soon.

(shakes head), (chuckles), (runs to pocelain patty to have a good hurl).

Where can I rent a video?

What the heck is a "vilsack"?

Trust me, THIS southerner has no desire to participate in that. There are MANY other more interesting things to do... :p

Baba,
Who gave Dubbya the blumpkin? I thought Laura was out of town and Monica was at the orthodontists. Was it Condi or Carl?
Can't wait til it hits you tube.

Hey... that's taking it a step too far...

W has definitely not been the best of Presidents, but he deserves more respect than that.

Cajun,
I didn't say he got one..heck, I really didn't even know what it meant. Baba was saying that word. And I personally don't think Balleto would know anything about it either. She is a very sweet and knowledgeable young lady.
She deserves much more respect than having someone start rumors about her. I would never!
If Dubbya does those kinds of things, that's really none of my business.
I never claimed that he did. again, I would never!
ps...thanks for the translations. What's a "ewe-night-her"?

Considering that I quoted your post, I know what you said. It was disrespectful. It's all fun and games, but when you start talking about the President in those terms, I just think it's wrong. Sorry, but that's JMO. Anyway, it was my fault for providing the definition... I guess I shouldn't have opened that can of worms. Carry on... :p

Well, again, thanks for your translations.
I guess you know what I said, and didn't say.
I didn't bring a word into this that I later found to be quite disgusting, nor did I claim that someone that didn't respond to this thread would provide an explanation.
If slandering people is "fun and games"..leave me out.
I started this thread because I wondered what President George W Bush meant when he said on Wednesday in his press conference, "We got a thumpin'".
You can spin my words anyway you want, but the question remains unanswered, despite the vulgarity.
And, yes, I really DO have difficulty understanding a "southern" accent, especially an affected on from a President that was born in Connecticut, and attended college in Mass.
There seems to be a bit of a problem when some people try to "put me on".

Carry on. But not "on" me.

So is a country blumpkin a gumjob?

DTS... did you say this?

"Baba,
Who gave Dubbya the blumpkin? I thought Laura was out of town and Monica was at the orthodontists. Was it Condi or Carl?
Can't wait til it hits you tube."

I thought the "Who gave Dubbya the BLUMPKIN" part was a bit extreme. This was AFTER you knew what a blumpkin was, so whatever... :p

Cajun,
I asked that question because Bababooie said that was what he was talking about. I thought he knew what it meant, as he said he was LMFAO and I had no clue.
Are you doing this to confuse me or just avoid answering my question, "What is a thumpin'?"
DTS

Baba,
Define the pronoun "he".

DTS: you're not confused,for sure,you just can't stop gloating!

Timm,
If you're implying that I'm gloatin' about the thumpin' (whatever that is), you might just be believin' that the cluckers are a roostin'. Check out that thread too.

Baba,
You took this thread in that direction cause you said "he". I just was asking for clarification as to the identity of the "he" you were referencing.
Thanks for the "almost" answer, y'all.
DTS

If you don't know who he is, talking politics with you is a waste of time.

DTS: I was aware that you would be crowin' after election day,but some of this stuff is beneath you! You can't figure out what a thumpin is? How about the term 'getting clocked'? Getting our butts kicked? Of course,Gentlemen Presidents dont say words like that in the press....so He said we got thumped! Hope that clears it up for you. Please be forthwith in getting your ideas for Change to the New Congress...I'm sure they'll have to come up with something for the next 2yrs!

Rev,
Please, please, I beg you!
Enlighten me!
Some of the words that people have used in this thread are beyond my comprehension.
HAVE MERCY ON ME!!! OH REVOLUTION!
Please excuse my profound ignorance, oh GREAT ONE!
I'm not trying to waste your time!

Forgive me for wasting your time by asking a question, all knowing one.

Who is he?
Answer me if you can spare the time, All Knowing One.

I'd be ever so appreciative!

Timm,
My ideas for the next two years?
Is that what you're asking from someone whose "patriotism" was questioned for not buying into the lies? The "terrorist sympathizer" that I am?
The "cut and runner"?

Is this your question?

"Please be forthwith in getting your ideas for Change to the New Congress...I'm sure they'll have to come up with something for the next 2yrs!"

I'm pretty sure lots will come up within the next two years.
I hope it benefits ALL citizens of the USA.

That said, if it was up to me and I was issuing the subpoenas, it would start with the impeachment proceedings and also the war crime trials.
Plenty of hearings will be coming.
Stay tuned. Some have waited for six years.
Now that Rummy is a private citizen, he's going to be held accountable.
Good luck!
Dubbya and Cheney....we'll find out sooner than later.
It shouldn't take two years at all.
Is that a "thumpin'?" Or ain't that somethin'?
Let the people's newly elected representatives speak. They'll say "somethin'," as we've all had more than enough of the "thumpin'!"
Roosting chicken-hawks and all.

DTS: I've never questioned your patriotism or you being a terrorist sympathiser....If I did....I wouldn't even speak to you. Democrats have a chance to move this country forward NOW....it will be a hollow victory if all they accomplish is the shredding of Rumsfeld and hammer the Adminisration! Of course..that would mean Democrats would take the 'high road'....I'm not sure they have that map.

Timm,
I think you misread me.
I didn't say that you accused me of being a terrorist sympathizer, and you also didn't question my patriotism.
If you don't know who did, that just got himself handed a "thumpin'" by the majority of those that participated in our democratic process, well, my guess is that I can't explain it further.
Second guessing the Democrats about having a map to a high road, on that one, I can't predict. We've already seen more than enough of the "low road".

Pay-back's a biatch, dontcha know?

amazing, simply amazing.
so much for intelligent discussion, when people are reduced to criticizing a persons accent. how someone speaks has nothing to do with their intelligence, or lack thereof.

Danzig,really how smart is this guy? He didn't even think that his party was going to lose the house(much less the Senate.)


"I didn't think we were going to lose the election yesterday...Shows ya what I know."-C Student Cowboy

I agree Deb....I happen to have a bit of an accent and I know I play dumb alot on here, but I like to think I have a bit more intelligence than most, even if I am from the south.

Danzig and GPK,
I did not intend to offend any southerners or the way they talk.
That said, the current president that pretends to speak like one is not.
Here's his biography. Pay attention to where he was born and where he was educated.
Proof: http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/George_W._Bush

My view is that his "affected accent" is as phony as his "leadership".

btw..."Real" Southern accents, though tough for me to comprehend at times, sound smooth as "gravy on grits".

It could be due to pre-senile dementia..
