Thursday’s Jokes, Quotes, Quizzlers and Teases!

WELCOME to Thursday October 25, 2018.

A Glossary of Quaint Southernisms……Today we shall deal with the A’s.

1. a- A prefix added to the present participle to make it purtier, e.g. “Abe’s a-workin in backer t’day; Ma’s a-talkin to you, son!” (see also agwine, agonna; acoming, aworking, etc.)

2. Afore- prep. Just as good as “before” in some parts.

3. Agonna- v. aux. Future tense auxiliary, as in “Ahm agonna gichew ifn yew don’t quit bothern my dawg!”

4. Aggervatin- a. Bothersome, upsetting. Etymology: From citified English aggravate meaning “make worse”: My dawg jes won’t point and dats so aggervatin.

5. Agwine- a. Heard mostly in the mountains. Variant of “agonna”

6. Ahere– adv. In this direction, as in, “Yall come ahere; I got sumpn a show yuh.”

7. Ain’t- v. cont Contraction of “am not.” Not really a Southern contribution but usually attributed to them. The problem is not the word, but the use of the word to replace “isn’t” and “aren’t”.

8. Air- adv. Close to the listener, as in “What is that air thang you got air in yore han’, Lela May?” Etymology: City-slicker jargon “there” which arrived through normal channels. Not to be confused with what you breathe, err.

9. Air up- v. Put air in, “I stopped at d’fillin station to air up my tars.”

10. All– n. A petroleum-based lubricant as in, “Fill up d’all ‘n check duh gas in muh pickup.” Yankees drag this meager three letter word out into three syllables (o-ee-yul) for reasons linguists have yet to explain. (For regular all see awl.)

DAILY QUOTES…

G U A R A N T E D T O M A K E Y O U L A F F….

To prepare for my daughter’s First Communion, I called the church in the town where we used to live to get a copy of her baptismal certificate.

We lived there for only a short while, so I didn’t know the clergy well. When the secretary

asked me the name of the father, I told her that I couldn’t remember.

After a brief silence, she said, “Ma’am, I’m talking about the name of the baby’s father.”😱

Wednesday’s Movie Trivia of the day!‘ What movie is this quote from??? “I love you.” “Snap out of it!”

ANSWER:Moonstruck! In this scene baker Ronny Cammareri (Nicolas Cage) declares his love for Loretta Castorini (Cher) with the first line. However, she is engaged at the time to Ronny’s brother Johnny (Danny Aiello). She slaps him and says the second line. “Moonstruck” was nominated for Best Picture in the 1988 Academy Awards but lost out to “The Last Emperor.” Cher won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Loretta Castorini and Olympia Dukakis won one for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Loretta’s mother Rose. Vincent Gardenia was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his role as Loretta’s father Cosmo, but lost to Sean Connery in “The Untouchables.” “Moonstruck” is one of my all-time favorites.
