My most favorite example of geographical dialect confusion comes from Chilton County, Alabama. A co-worker of mine in Birmingham who lived south of the city on a large farm in rural Chilton County was birthday present shopping for her little brother at the local Walmart in the county seat, Clanton. In the toy section, she closely examined all the various models of super soaker water guns with which a young boy could ever hope to terrorize his sisters. Pumping the action of the magnum version, she asked the woman working toys, “does this thing shoot far?” To which the astonished employee responded, “Oh NO MA’AM, it just shoots WATER!”
LMAO
😀
Hahahahaha (pillock) lol
How do some people manage to get jobs? Do they need a doctorate in stupid? lol
‘Far’ is on the endangered species list. ‘Water’ is not…
I LOVE it!
I’m chuckling.
LOL! Only in Alabama. Or Georgia. Or Tennessee or Kentucky or West Virginia. Aw heck, anywhere south of the Mason Dixon line.
