Where the frick are you from?
I've never heard any of those. Is this like NOLA people that when they go grocery shopping saying they are going to "make groceries"?Posted on 8/16/14 at 8:33 am to Scruffy
I knew this girl...we pulled up to a gas station and she asked if I was going to get down. First time I had ever heard that. I asked her why the hell would I want to dance in the parking lot. She looked at me like I was retarded.

Yea, pony tail holder is just boring.
Padookie sounds sophisticated.

If something is crooked say like a boat on a trailer we say it is catty wampus or ali-gogglin.

That's what we call the rigid half circle ones that mostly little girls wear.

And I wear them all the time.

This is a crane fly.
Never hear it called a mosquito hawk until I moved to LA.

Said ice box when I was young but have gradually went to fridge. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents when I was young and picked up on a lot of their vernacular.

I am from NOLA and we would interchange dragon fly and mosquito hawk all the time.... But, the picture of the long legged mosquito was called a "mosquito eater" (or masquita eata in my best Chalmette accent) around my house.

Never heard of Dragonfly being called a mosquito hawk.
Y'all are weird.
