Thumpin'

Downthestretch55 · #1 11-09-2006, 02:02 PM

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?

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.

What the heck is a "vilsack"?

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!

Downthestretch55 · #8 11-09-2006, 05:25 PM

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.

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.

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?

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.)

yeah, bush is an idiot. so what does that have to do with southerners in general? i ask that since i now am one....also, i read bloodhorse--which used the word thumping in one of its lastest issues. apparently a word that gets more usage than some realized.

and a LOT of people mispronounce nuclear, i mock everyone who does--but i also read that most mispronounce it because it's an 'awkward' word--according to the 'experts'.

and then you read stuff like this:

"Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?" charles rangel said that, and of course apologies are being called for. new york itself gained clout in the elections, and rangel is on the ways and mean committee and may become it's next chair. so of course he can direct a lot more fed funding to his state. looks like southern states may be sucking hind tit.

It was a stupid thing for Rangel to say, but he was alluding to something that I think is on a lot of bluestaters' minds-- namely, we pay far more taxes into the government than we get back, while a lot of the poorer red states get much more back than they pay in. Now, as a Democrat who believes the poorer should get a helping hand from the wealthier, that doesn't bother me in theory. In fact, it seems quite reasonable. What bothers me is that many residents of these states that depend on the largess of the blue states make a lot of noise about how the poor need to stand on their own two feet so they don't support any social programs for them, because hey, they themselves don't take anything from anyone; they pay their own way-- when in fact they are doing nothing of the sort. And then they call us elitists, and communists, and terrorist sympathizers, and all this time, we're paying their way through life.

Seems awfully rude and ungrateful, doesn't it?

By the way, Danzig, I'm certainly not singling you out, because you certainly don't say anything like this and have never attacked me-- I'm just taking this opportunity to point out that a lot of "red" states get more from the government than they pay in. And I feel like they use it as an opportunity to not fairly tax their own wealthier citizens (Tennessee doesn't even have a state income tax)-- why bother, when they can count on the blue states to support them. And then when blue-staters get bashed as elitists by people they are essentially supporting-- can you see why this blue-stater gets really annoyed?

Here's an interesting op-ed on the pros and cons of the goverment's wealth redistribution process:

And, of course, I'd never in a million years think Southerners were stupid. Bill Clinton, after all, was born and raised in the South.

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.

seems i am a 'man without a country'. i've lived down here for 12 years, don't fit in with my family any longer--according to my brother. yet i still stick out like a sore thumb here. you're not from around here, are you? i've been hearing that for over 12 years now.
it just kills me that there is an almost automatic presumption that people are not very smart down here. but there are dumb and smart people all over, i doubt we really have the market cornered!!

Danzig,
In case you missed it, go back a page and read what I said to both you and Kev.
I never said southerners were "dumb".
I hope your thumb heals up soon.
