What did you accomplish today?

I'd really like to know where this aboot thing started... I don't know anyone who says about like that. It should have a dirty innuendo name considering the nuts.



You'll probably have better luck than I did. I usually screw up cooking/baking up a few times before I get it right.

I imagine a Scot-Irish accent (cough!) accented with a soupçon of Francophone.

Coastal Marylanders had a peculiar coloration to their English that had Scot-Irish roots. About became (almost) abite.

When I was a college kid in Baltimore, a weekly pleasure was a 4- mile hike (each way) from campus to the Lexington Market. I had a favorite butcher from whom I’d get me weekly pind of grind rind.

I had a friend from BC that said that, and eh? I asked him why he said eh, he said it sounds better than huh? Had to agree with him there. We watch Holmes on homes a lot, he says ashfault for asphalt also. I don't know which province he is from.

I try not to use eh, but it slips out every now and then. And ashfault is how you pronounce asphalt ;)

Lol I was thinking it must be east coasters, If you ever get the chance to see this hour has 22 minutes or royal Canadian air farce they have the typical Canadian accent that’s often made fun of.

FIFY
It's also called McAdam, "It was first used by a Scotsman, John Loudon McAdam (where it gets its name), in the early 1820s." Your ashfault lesson for the day.

I was locked up with some guy from BC. He always said aboot. That’s the only Canadian I’ve met. That I know of.
 
I actually got off my ass and accomplished a bunch (for me anyway). Watered the girls this morning and super cropped a couple shoots that were getting rambunctious. Went to the hardware store and picked up rat traps, the pole pruner (I know this statement will go into the gutter somehow), and picked up a little valve to adjust the water flow on the front bathroom shower head. Buds and suds time.
