As I have previously mentioned, I speak English AND The Three Stooges. The most difficult part of 'Stooglish' is understanding some of the 'Brooklyn' terms because those guys are from Brooklyn of the 1930's. Of course, Curly's "wowowowo" sound is actually his imitation of his pet beagles. He was a dog lover. That's why they called him CUR- ly. (A 'cur' is a term for 'dog'.
If you mentioned it to me I have forgotten it completely. I am not a Stooges fan. They hit one another over the head with stalks of celery fer cryin' out loud! Different strokes! Thank you for your reply bh and Happy Sunday! :)
So you sprecken zie Deutsche (sp?) and oy vey verklempt? I had one semester of Spanish and 4 years of French. Parlez-vous francais mon ami? Merci beaucoup mille fois et joyeux Dimanche! Here's what I think I said. "Do you speak French my friend? Thank you a thousand times and Happy Sunday! I hope that's what I said. I have no occasion or reason to parley Francais so I am undoubtedly "rusty".
Ich kann ein bißchen Deutsch. Langsam, bitte, ich finde es schwer. Non, je ne parle pas Français. That sentence I had to learn, with my surname I get picked for being French all the time.
Sacre bleu merde, j'ai demeure a la France, et j'ai etudie la francais un peu. Ich spreche Deutsch. Ngo sik gong Gwongdungwa. Ngo ge pungyao hai Gwondungneuiyun bo.
American isn't English. Not quite. Aluminium Encyclopaedia Foetus Recognise Theatre Aeroplane (which is wrong, you Yanks invented it so have the right to name it) Colour
Jive? I do believe that British, Canadian and Australian are variations on a theme of English. Different dialects to be sure and vastly different colloquialisms/slang. Jive too. "Zoot suit daddy 8 to the bar"! But that's okey dokey Ele. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)
