Posh: Classy, fancy, rich … something like that.

Found another good one!

Have a guess!

Freezing cold :cold_face:

In the south east of the us some country folks call biscuits (hoe cakes)

@Kitty-Cat01 Thank you

Don’t know what brass monkeys are.

And did you blur out the text at the bottom of your post or did the system?

ETA: nvm. I tapped the text and it displayed “freezing cold” with an emoji

@anon8189768 sorry should of explained but @Kitty-Cat01 did it for me thanks :kissing_heart:

Brass monkeys…something along the lines of “It’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey”

I imagine I might get slapped for saying that

“hoe” in the US is often short for “whore” and specifically used when desiring to convey disrespect and contempt for the person you’re insulting.

Though it’s specifically context based. If you say I want a hoe-dad (which isn’t the most common term for “subway sandwich” anyway imo) I don’t think you’d have to be worried.

But if you say “you hoe” then it’s almost up there with saying “Texas sucks”

Disclaimer: I don’t think Texas sucks. It’s at the very least better than California. I was simply using the phrase as an example. Please do not hunt me down :grimacing::joy:

Edit: also it’s typically a female calling another female a ‘hoe’

Also, other than using quotation marks to directly quote someone, I have no idea which situations are which as far as when to use ’ or "

Thanks. I grew up in the Midwest US and I admittedly miss the snow.

I doubt that you’re going to get slapped it’s just a old term for biscuit in your rural area’s of the south in va,nc,sc and some people say they want a cat head biscuit

Yeah. Using “hoe cakes” in general probably wouldn’t solicit a slap. Should have corrected that in the post. Good catch :slight_smile:

Sorry, that probably wasn’t very clear (I’ve had a glass of wine or two :wine_glass:) Brass monkeys means freezing cold. I blurred the text. You can blur your text by highlighting the text, going to the cog symbol and clicking on the symbol that looks like a wand. So if you’re asking a question and want to hide the answer you can blur it out.

Too cool! :grin: I am from the US too. I’m curious, can you tell whether someone is from the North or South US when talking to people from the US. I know we can tell, but can British people tell?

I am from the South, by the way, lol

There may be some words that stick out, but I can’t think of what they are off the top of my head.

Only chatted with one person that was from Florida (not on this site that I know of). But if she hadn’t mentioned she was from FL I wouldn’t have known. Not that I consider FL to be “southern”, at least not stereotypically.

Probably only from very broad stereotypes. “This here is the most rootin-tootin vibrator I’ve ever tried!” :slightly_smiling_face: I’m afraid I don’t know anything specific about Tennessee. Jack Daniels? Lynchburg. Um. Memphis? That’s all I got without google. :slightly_smiling_face:

Problem is the way my brain works @Ian_Chimp. Rootin-tootin took my brain to Looney Tunes, which took me to an Acme vibrator :rofl:
