We used "youse guys" where I grew up on the south side of Chicago, too. Also - "jeet jet", which means "did you eat yet?"

We used to like to "hock a loogie", too.

Sounds like youse guys is reading from Jeff Foxworthy's Southern dictionary. I'm not a huge Foxworthy fan, but I saw "Blue Collar Comedy Tour", and my favorite southern-ism from that show is "widjadidja", as in, "You didn't bring your truck widjadidja?"

Also -- "Bit it off. Not 'bit it'; bit it off. O-F-F, off. Bit it off!"

I happen to know that y'all is one of God's favorite words. Y'all don't believe me -- just ask Him!

So you're saying She's not a real big stickler for grammar? Suddenly, I feel alone in the universe. . .

We would have to wait 'til at least May 22, 2006, because that is when the current owner of getalife.com, Up at Night Productions, has it registered.

Ashley, dear, making someone mad isn't the highest achievement one can aspire to. Wouldn't you rather carry on an adult conversation with intelligent, well-informed people who know how to look at all sides of an issue? It's here for the taking, if you'd care to join us...

Naw, I just think that adolescents should have more interesting things to do rather than just trying to bug the grown-ups. Get your Dad to drive you to the mall or sumthin'. Now shoo.......shoo.....

According to the way you act, oh, about 15. I'd bet you're a blonde too.
