moppie... what the heck??...

[saravrose]

So, here I am eating my Dreyers fruit bar (strawberry flavored) and perusing POTN like I often do when I should be asleep and what do I see?... a thread about Belmondo... entertaining yes.. so, I read down... there's a post from Dave, amusing as usual but, i'm starting to get a little cautious of the British sense of humor.. and then there's Moppie.. with a signature under his name... All I can think of is that this is one of those things that makes perfect sense for everybody else but............... okay, anybody give me a hint..

'nissed as a pewt'... I understand two words in that sentence.. one of them is 'as' and the other one is 'a'... the other two???... help a girl out.... anybody please?....

Maybe it is supposed to mean 'pissed as a newt'?? (am I allowed to say the word 'pissed'?)

I dunno, but I would like to know that too!

[Woolburr]

Too much alcohol leaves ones newt slightly pissed!

[cdifoto]

I hate it when I get my newt pissed and have no wet naps handy.

[saravrose]

this tells me nothing... :confused:

[Woolburr]

Fairly common to say pissed as a newt...very much like drunk as a skunk...and if you are really plastered....you might just end up nissed as a pewt.

this is very ironic. I was taking a hike today and took a picture of a newt. I just looked down and spotted it in the middle of a giant forest. Now there is a thread about it! weird.

Sari ... I believe yer languaging skills are drying up through lack of exposure to alternative modes. You need to free you mind to appreciate the multi-layered opportunities waiting within communication forms. I suggest first you take the Cockney Rhymin' slang 101 and then the Ali G 101. This will keep ya amused and engaged for quite some time and help rid you of that potato fueled, redneck drawl you have acquired :-)

If a southern belle lived in Jersey or PA...she would be called b!tch...personality isn't their strong suit.

sariSearch here for that phrase, Sari. You'll find where it was stuck to him, and why (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2181113&postcount=1319).

[gjl711]

Hmm... I always figured that pewt was a polite way of describing the activity of breaking wind, flatus, cutting the cheese, passing gas, farting. An Nisse is a Scandinavian spirit whom protects the home and its occupants partially at night. So I though that it was Moppie trying to blame the stinky an Nisse thus drawing attention away from himself.

very true.. I mean it's all the same language right?.... right?.... :confused: :confused: .. heck If I know.. but, lets be completely fair.. I'm sure one of the folks from down under or one of the Brits would sit in my kitchen during a family dinner and be as lost as I would be in their home...

Heck, my family comes up from Georgia and my wife and kids at times have difficulty understanding them especially after I get a beer or two into them and the stories start-a-commin’. Heck at dinner once i remember my unc askin’ to be passed the bald tatters and my son just looked at him as if he was an alien.

Must be if I understood him. Im still trying to work out what a redneck is
Where we are from sounds like sunburn :lol:

That's about it... It comes from the working class who have "rednecks" from working outside in the sun. It was originally applied to construction workers, but has been expanded to include pretty much everyone from the Southeastern US (although we have our share in rural California)... Some have even made careers out of it, like Jeff Foxworthy.

Keep drinking - then you can provide evidence of the aforementioned nissed pewt-like ways ;)

mmmm, beer good!

and what a great saying it is.

and yep he was piddled. so piddled in fact he post on the wrong thread - and walked right into the bear trap.

vodka and POTN posting are a combination not to be taken lightly

redneck..... means soo many different things.. Around here being redneck is similar to being hillbilly.. allthough hillbilly is a bit worse.. it's basically a term for anyone not being from a city.. the country folks if you will.. farmers and ranchers and such are thought of as redneck.. as are folks who are 'blue collar'... When used in the proper context it's a joke or a term of endearnment.. Lord knows everytime my uncle brings home a broken down car to work on or comes back from hunting with a deer tied onto the roof of his Geo (I'm not making th at up) my aunt always has a comment or two about being married to a redneck... I personally think it's a state of mind.. I can be as hillbilly as the next door neighbors if I feel like it...

Ah, the British and the Americans... two peoples separated by a common language. It's actually worse than that. Try to talk on the phone to a Cockney at the airport & get your equipment cases delivered to your hotel sometime! :D

[JCR]

When I was in the states everyone thought I was an aussie.
At first I was amused, then confused.

At least through text a cockney is understandable... almost :D
