I woke up a bit after 3:00 AM to day and before I went back to sleep somewhere after 6:00 I wrestled with a problem. Maybe someone out there can help me.

all have an a sound that rhymes with the a in cannon and battle.
So why does wash have an a sound that rhymes with bottle and waddle?
I gotta get some sleep tonight.
Leave it to you to ponder the the deeper mysteries of life, 40 ::) :o
It rhymes with squash too Forty, mebbe that's cuz if ya sqash somethin an git it on yer clothes then ya gotta wash em!
I hate when my mind gets stuck on some trivial crap like that and won't shut down so I can sleep. I almost wish I hadn't given up drinking...but I ain't going back there.
Forty, That's a lot of information to pass through my feeble mind this morning. I didn't get much sleep last night either. I always put on some war movies on my 5 disc DVD player and that puts me right to sleep.

Actually -- and all kidding aside -- there is good evidence that "O.K." comes from the Choctaw exclamation
hoke! (pronounced ho-KAY), meaning good or very good. Before he became President, Andrew Jackson spent many years in command of forces in the Southeast. The Choctaw were consistent allies,particularly against the Creek Nation and later the British. Ol' Hick'ry spent a lot of time with Chief Moshulatubbee.
Hoke! was one of Moshulatubbee's favorite expressions, particularly when he was thinking, pleased or happy. Jackson also began using the word, although he pronounced it as "okay!"
When Jackson became President, he took the word with him to Washington, and from there it entered common English usage.
We now return you to our regularly-scheduled foolishness.
The Army also used it for "zero killed" when retuning from a mission. Likewise they would say 3 K or what not.

A funny ( to me ) little aside , with due respect 40Rod...I had a roll in a film once where I had to ad-lib some lines..It was Historical piece set in the Seminole War.
I used "OK" later thinking I had use non period verbage , I cringed. Research showed it was period and somewhat popular to utter " OK " as I had :)

But that is the clue to 40's problem, see every dang group of folks who wandered here, has added their words to the language, so it's a mixed up mongrel language. Plus folks were doin' that before the English brought the language to America.

Excuse me, but many of the early settlers (such as my own great-great-etc-grandpap) were
Irish (and
Scotch Scots), not english. And the english had outlawed Gaelic, so they were forced to speak this language.
And it's still used pretty much as it was when them folks got here, and closer in accent, up in the hills of Tenn.
So if you want purity in our native language, come to the South!
;)
But JD wern't the first English settlers so called Gentleman? They found out the cound not make it on their own so they called up the others to do the work they wouldn't do. ;D
"course in a few years the folks showed up in Plymouth and they talk way different up there.

I strongly suggest that no one should ever refer to a native from Scotland as "Scotch." They'll tell you right away that Scotch is the distilled beverage; Scots are the people.

OK, should have stated this better, if you were the manager of the tack dept of the largest western store in Newbrassky and was tryin' to impress these cowboys from out in the Sandhills would you say "worked on a ranch" or "interned on a ranch?"

Kansas City is in Kansas too. They built the place an then drew the state line right down the middle. Only the very northern part is divided by the river, the rest of it aint. Just a boulavard ta tell you which side yer on.
Speakin' of the Scotts-Irish, they are the original rednecks, another abused word. See they were mostly Presbyterians, clergy wore red collars instead of the Cathlic white, so they were rednecks. Then it became a word to desribe folks who worked outside and sunburned their necks. When I was in HS, a redneck was someone who hated long hairs, blacks and other minorities, now it some cuddly poor folks from down sourth that folks make bigoted jokes about in an era I'm not allowed to tell jokes about other classes of folks. ::)

Y'all just don't know how to cook okra. Yes, it gets sticky and slimy if you
boil it, but so do some cuts of beef. Both the word and the food "gumbo" are derived from an African name for okra -- Yumbo. Nearly any good gumbo contains okra.
Speaking of which, I'm getting ready to make my Holiday Gumbo. I derive the stock from the carcass of the Thanksgiving turkey, and make the roux with butter. And it gets even better from there.
The pods themselves are often called gumbo and some folks cook up the turkey frame. ::)
BTW it is I-oh-way, not I-oh wa, got several Ioway Indone friends who know the right way to say it. Course Grandma Carman was from that state also and said I-oh-way.

The things you miss out on, by not attending a Catholic school!
Oh, you missed a bunch. Be glad you did. (tip, don't crawl over the pews when at a Mass).
I interrupt this bull session to bring you some vitally important news:
Pee-can is the yankee-trying-to-sound-southron pronunciation. The correct, Southron pronunciation is pa-cahn.
I feel qualified to speak on this--My grandfather, then uncle, ran a Jazz Feed Store in Opelika for a good deal of the 20th century. One of their busiest businesses was cracking pecans with a several-ton pecan-cracking machine. It was a beast. Every winter the family looked forward to huge bags of fresh, cracked pecans. I miss them days.... Hell, I miss the store and the smell of sawdust and saddles and the cotton warehouse in the back....
Quote from: J.D. Yellowhammer on November 29, 2009, 08:50:29 PMPee-can is the yankee-trying-to-sound-southron pronunciation. The correct, Southron pronunciation is pa-cahn.
Absolutely. Some of the world's best pa-cahns come from orchards in Mobile and Baldwin Counties in Alabama.
Oh, Delmonico, don't ever try to cook with the wood from a pecan tree, unless you've got a ton of it and three helpers to tend the fire. That stuff burns FAST, and doesn't generate a whole lot of heat.
<--- Learned this the hard way in the aftermath of Hurricane Frederic in 1979.
JD's right on the pronouncing pecan, JD, we had about 55 pecan trees on one of my Granddad's pastures, we had a family of Indians that would pick on shares every year. we'd have a shaker come in and shake the trees so all the nuts would be on the ground, Grandma would take them over to Muskogee and sell all but about 200 pounds, she'd have them cracked and we'd have pecans all the next year. sure was good.
my Mom worked at a cotton company for several years, I always liked going to work with her and going back in the grading room, that cotton smelled good.

Man, that's heaven, OT! :D fresh pecans, pecan pie...mmm mmm... And the smell of the cotton... My grandad's store hadn't changed at all since about the 1930's. As a kid, when we'd drive down to Opelika, I'd spend all day in there pokin' around. Had some fascinatin' stuff on the shelves. And in the warehouse. My uncle would hang out back there with a .22 rifle loaded with ratshot, to shoot the rats as they ran fer cover. I never could get my parents to let me take up rat huntin'. Probably why I'm so screwed up today. 8)
Mr. Nighteyes, you're sure right about that. I've never had pecans as good as those Alabama ones. ;D
