You don't put mustard on a bloney sammich, you're a Communist.

Heck no. As I posted i lied. I do put mustard on a liver mush and slaw sandwich. In the South the slaw does go "On" the sandwitch.

Anyone know what a left handed wrench is?

 

[nobody]

only thing I put mustard on is a corn dog. Only.

Fair, but here's food for thought: The BIBLE has mustard/mustard seeds. It is of Heavenly origin. Know what's NOT there? Mayo....cause it was forged by Lucifer himself!

Temptation for the brain damaged to attempt to fix stuff.

mayo is really good in small doses. At least to my pallet.

Close. If you're left handed just turn it over. Problem solved.

That's different than guns. Those have to be turned around.

the safety ...yes. My Granfather shot left handed and my 12gauge safety is backwards.

LOL...No, I mean the gun has to be turned around the other way for lefties. I have a theory that all lefties are aliens, bent on destroying our civilization, by insisting that things be made to accommodate their backwardness.

Coming from the East Coast (NY and MA) to CA there were some sayings that people knew I wasn’t from here. Here were some:
1) Sneakers I say. They say tennies or tennis shoes
2) You guys I say. They say you all
3) This one gets to me a lot when I first came out here: They say I am going down south. Which to me means the southern part of the US (Fl, NC, SC, Al, Georgia, etc). They mean southern CA.

When I lived in Boston I would say Coke/Pepsi for a soft drink but my friends would say tonic. And the one thing I constantly got corrected was Aunt ( I pronounce it Ant) but my friends would say no it’s Aunt with the u stressed.

Grinder was another one that confused me when I moved to CT. In Jersey we called them subs, hoagies, or heroes. When someone invited me to get a grinder, I thought it sounded like something painful to eat.

We say that in NY but in CA it is a sub. A pizza roll is a calzone in CA.

Pizza roll? You mean like those little crappy microwave things?

Pizza roll? You mean like those little crappy microwave things?

I think it's closer to a pizza pocket kinda thing?

So, what do they call calzones?

In the south this is called a "March Flower". It is really a daffodil

I am Louisiana born and I cannot remember anyone calling a cicada a "jar fly" lol. My sister and brother-in-law moved to Maryland many years ago. She said friends and co-workers were freaking out when the latest cicada re-emergence happened there. They would ask her how she could stay so calm with all the "monsters" coming out from everywhere. She told them, "This is nothing. I grew up with them."

They couldn't hurt you if they wanted to, which they don't.
