Word link

I wonder how that expression started?

Don't bet on it.

Seeing is believing

Whoever came up with that phrase didn't contend with deepfakes in the future. :)

I guess different cultures use a totally different line of phrases.

Y'all come back now, ya hear.

The main Canadian phrase is just one word, usually.

Sorry.

I'm surprised it isn't in our national anthem lyrics somewhere. :laugh::laugh:

I thought it was eh?

I think I remember hearing "eh" in the Bob and Doug Mckenzie skits on SCTV. :laugh: I don't think saying eh originated with them, though.

We've had something over the years but, just can't remember right now.
Here in the south where I live we say
Hey Y'all

One of my acquaintances used to say "Heeeeeeyyyyyyyy" whenever I saw her. I always used to chuckle.

Reminds me of
y'all take your coat off and stay a while.

That reminds me of when guests used to come over to my relatives house I always used to hear "Come in, come in! No, no don't take your shoes off." It used to confuse me, because you'd think taking your shoes off would be more comfortable. :laugh:

We had to because Momma didn't want a dirty floor.

Y'all eat more we have a plenty.

I used to hear "Pull up a chair." if anyone came during mealtime at my grandparents, and a plate full would materialize despite any protests. Sometimes I think they'd already eaten, and were politely forced to eat again. :laugh:

We got dessert, y'all save room.

My great aunt sometimes used to bring trifle for dessert. It was delicious!
Though it is possible it just seemed really delicious because my other relatives always said she added a large amount of rum to it. :laugh:

It's possible, my mother would soak her fruit cake in rum......always made my nose burn.

I don't think anyone ever made a fruit cake in my family. As I recall, it was always boughten and never eaten. It would just sit there. :laugh:

I would eat a little bit of it if it had plenty pecans in it.

Pecans are yummy. And walnuts.

Oh yeah, nothing beats a southern made pecan pie.

Here we have Black walnut trees that we've been told are worth quite a bit of money.

This is the first time I ever learned black walnut trees exist. I'd never heard of them before. From what I see on google, very pretty! And I also see the wood is indeed worth a lot. Learn something new everyday. :)

My nephew started picking some up (walnuts) that had very recently fell from the trees, looked down and saw his hands had changed color.......
Evidently, the hulls can also be used to create stain?, took a few days to get that off or rather had to wear off.


exist <= extinction

I saw that when I googled. There was a picture of a woman with stained hands from the walnuts. It looked like it would take some effort to get off her hands. I also saw some black walnut floor pictures and the floor was gorgeous. :) It's cool you kept your black walnut trees, I bet they're so pretty.

Extinction event.

event <= historical

Myself, I think the walnut trees grow way to tall and can be dangerous. We live in an area prone to tornadoes so you really don't want these massive trees close at all to your house.

Yes, that would be scary during a tornado. Pretty trees are great, but not when they're crashing through your roof.

Pre-history...

Ice age

Thorn...

I'm not sure why that popped into my head, I never watched Ice Age. I actually had to look it up to see what I meant! :lip: :confused::laugh:

Thorn <= bush

Blackberry...

You know, here in the south where I live we have a ton of blackberry bushes but, I have never liked the taste nor the seeds that come along with it.
I don't even like strawberries. If I were to eat a fruit pie or cobbler I'd go for Apple.

I love blackberries. I don't exactly dislike strawberries but I'd rather have raspberries. Apples are almost always good. I like the pink lady apples. :)

Red Delicious

We have 4 apple trees in our garden: Nela, Pilot, Pinova and Topaz.

You have the jewel of the crop!

Carnelian...

semiprecious
