Languages

[Rollo Tamasi]

What language do you speak?
Sometimes we speak the same language but use different meanings for words.
Now I speak English.
Now I'm from Boston.
I speak what is known as an improper Bostonian.
Proper Bostonians speak English like the Kennedys, etc...
Someone told me that New Yorkers speak English but I haven't met one yet.
English people think they speak English until they open their mouths.
Then some really strange words come out.
And Jason, he speaks Jasonese and Reba understands it.
She can interpret for us.

Are there any other languages out there?
Where are we all from?

Now I'm from Boston.

Close enough I reckon. I spent one year in Falmouth, MA and a second one in Buzzard's Bay, MA.
I never met John & Jackie, but then He talked funny anyhow.

Pretty funny about Nu Yawkas.
I'm from Queens. We have a different way of speaking than those strange persons down in Bensonhoist.
We like to say BensonHURST.

The English. Yeah. That's a strange language.
Did anyone here ever realize that it's IMPOSSIBLE to SING in the English language?
Go ahead--check out YouTube, I dare you.

As far as reba and jasonc ... yeah that's rather scary.

Me, I speak Italian and also a dialect.
I'm not sure that's considered a language, but I think it is.
Pantaloni ---- Italian for pants.
Calzoni -----my dialect for pants. Ain't that a different language?

Oh. And how come we have an apostrophe in a word that doesn't exist??
AIN'T...

I used to speak Spanish, but I forget.
Can't even remember how to say I FORGOT.
Maybe: Yo no me recuerdo....?

Anybody know??

Hey Eugene,
Would that be: FALL MOUTH
or
FALMUTH ??

Inquiring minds want to know...

 

[GodsGrace]

What church do you go to?

Did I ever say I'm a saint?
No.
Everyone in Italy makes fun of how everybody else talks.
Romans sometimes say USCE instead of PORTA.
We make fun of them too.
As they do to us.

It's a FUN fun, nothing sinful...
