One place I always love to go back to is Big D, Dallas, Texas.
Gubner
Smirkville land. I will be making a trip there over the 4th of
July.
Anticipating we will have a great time, I thought I better get
myself some
protection. No, I'm not talking about a packet of a rolled up
condominiums
for my wallet, but a new and more secure wallet. In Day-Glo orange.
My
protection from the po-lice. I'll be in the West End and the
DPD has a
tendency to be less lenient on "foreigners." To them, I live
on the wrong
side of Red River. So, just in case I get stopped, and I have
to reach for
my...........wallet, I don't want some Sheriff Barney, telling
me, "okay Mr.
Lightning jist ease them pistols out real slow, like molasses
in winter."
When I reach, it will just be my Day-Glo orange wallet. Just
so there's no
mistaking it for my Glock!
Brain Smasher always likes to attempt to better himself, so I
have taken up
studying a new language. We have learned our first greeting and
I am still
working on translating it and hoped you insectia would be so
kind as to help
out ol' Brain Smasher. It starts out "Oh Wah." This the initial
salutation.
Like "Hi there." Reminded me of wah, wah like stuff Petey Frampton
used to
do. Then you say "Ta-Ta." Like in English, when you say Ta-Ta,
in a breezy
way to say to say good-bye, or maybe used in the sentence, "She
has nice
ta-ta's." I think it's closer to the breezy way, but it means
something
similar in English, "Are you aware of?" Then you have something
similar to
this, "&," an ampersand, but it roughly translates into the
letter/word "A."
With me so far? Next is "Fooo." Short "O" like in egg foo yung.
The
translation is "not being aware of." I think. Lastly, is "Liem."
Like in Liam
Neeson But pronounced in the English sense Lie, rather then Lee.
Meaning
"loosely about or being oneself."
So let's say this all together and see if we get the sense of
it. "Oh Wah,
ta-ta, 'a', Foo, Liem. Say it quickly. There you go, I think
you now
understand what it means!
I was teaching that to my concubine and she said breathlessly,
"Oh Brain Smasher, what a Cunning Linguist you are!
Well I'm off to shake the sugar tree! "Ta-ta!
