Sgtleo Lingo - j3rdinf - 10-20-2007 Sarge, you missed the main one. Namely "your f****ing A right. Usually used with a basterdized bit of French or Kraut words. I know spelling is wrong but like "partie" meaning get to hell out and leave and "mungie" meaning eat or food", plus other things not acceptable here.. Seems we had a language of our own and not fit for decent company. Lingo - roque_riojas - 10-20-2007 Sgtleo, Joe I could add some, but thinking abit. I think I'll pass. Roque Lingo - j3rdinf - 10-21-2007 I know what you mean Roque, thats why I quit before I got censored. Lingo - Walt's Daughter - 10-21-2007 Warning, warning, adult content!
My imagination runs deep... Lingo - Sgtleo - 10-21-2007
It was so hard to learn to control the tongue when first home!!
Had a buddy whose father was on the Board at Harvard College and at a dinner an individual's name came up to which my buddy asked calmly before a period of absolute prolonged silence:
"Dad are you talking about that No good Son of a B***h that had so much S**T in his G*D D ****D Blue Blood that he married a girl with the reputation of a W***E to stay out of the F*****G Army".
Dad's head and eyes indicated he should leave the dinner ASAP.
Rog. was a Tank Corps Officer and tried to apologize BUT...............
I had so others but was afraid you'd kill me M.
Sgtleo Lingo - Dogdaddy - 10-21-2007 I can remember when I was just a kid with my Dad on a fishing trip and he would set the alarm for 4AM or earlier. His usual wake up call was: "Alright...outta that fart sack!" The first time I heard him use that expression, I laughed so hard that I validated the term! :lol: God, I miss him...
Dogdaddy Lingo - Walt's Daughter - 10-21-2007 Sarge:
My husband's brother finished his stint as an MP and had returned home. My husband said the entire family was sitting around the dinner table when all of a sudden in a very nonchalant voice, Mark called out, "Pass the f--ckin' butter... OOPS!! Lingo - 206thmpco - 10-22-2007 I can honestly say that I never heard my Dad swear. He had alot of strange "codewords" though (to this day, I don't know what 1/2 of em mean). My mother was an elementary school teacher, educated through 12 grades by the School Sisters Of Notre Dame, and didn't even allow the use of slang in the house, so I think Dad knew better than to use any expletives. Even if Helen wasn't around, his kids might blab.
Like "The Old Man" in "A Christmas Story", my father was always at war with the furnace. You'd hear all manner of clanking & what sounded like muffled swearing coming up through the hot air registers. Ma would open the cellar door & yell: "Frank!" and you'd hear "Huh? Helen, I'm fixin' this thing down here.." and the clanking & muttering would resume .
The Darren McGavin character in that film reminds me alot of my Dad. His war with the Bumpuses' dogs next door and when they steal the Christmas turkey while "the Old Man" is reading the paper! If anyone ever stole the turkey dinner in MY house, my father would've given them the death penalty & impose the sentence himself without further ado!
