Oh thats it!! Blame us!! Typical!! Well gentlemen, I'll have y'all know that I discovered our lineage from watching an episode on that wonderfull learning tool, The History Channel. The installment in question was titled, and I sh1t you not, "The History of Rednecks, hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus." I must say that it was quite a startling and earth shattering hour spent on the edge of the couch, rivetted, and hanging onto every word that brother Billy Ray was delivering on the most reverent subject....There you have it, like it or not, rednecks and soccer came from ENGLAND....
That's ROY ROGERS. And as far as being legal, I'm not sure. Cowboys always had special relationships with their horses. Oh Jeez, that didn't translate very well.....And John Wayne would NEVER wear flowers on his blouse....

We always spelled it as one word - redneck - and to me is 100% derogatory. So .... Slip is insulted .... A-58 aint too bothered .... I'm none the wiser .... Wasn't it us confusing the Yanks? It is analagous to a word that rhymes with bigger, At least Slips getting the hang of Cockney rhyming slang ... DIGGER.
So .... Slip is insulted .... A-58 aint too bothered .... I'm none the wiser .... Wasn't it us confusing the Yanks? At least Slips getting the hang of Cockney rhyming slang ... DIGGER. An Antipodian?
An Antipodian? Y'all are making stuff up now. What the hell is an Antipodian, what do THEY sound like, and where do they come from? For a little island, y'all sure got a lot of different types of peoples over there. It's getting complicated around here....
We Portagee (ask Slipdigit for the copyright on that one) have a saying that goes something like: "A man un-cuckolded is like a garden without flowers". In this forum - well, in any forum - one might say that "One thread that doesn't get hijacked isn't worth being threaded in the first place". Sh1t! It's even in the Internet! Al Gore must have invented it! How to Hijack a Thread Or, A Primer in Antisocial Attention-Seeking Lay your groundwork. Watch the group interaction. Make yourself known to the community. Engage on a topic or two. Piss a few people off so they'll react to you reliably later. Watch for your chance. If the blog is any good, the host and/or community practices some sort of moderation, active or passive. You'll have to catch them on a busy day or heated topic to get them to feed trolls. Commit to the campaign. Prepare not to have a life for the duration. Refresh frequently and respond to everything before anyone else can. Drown anyone speaking in good faith in an avalanche of comments. Build a fire. Say something known to be controversial. Be sure to compliment community members--in the most backhanded way possible. Extra points for dog whistles. Make yourself the injured party. Recharacterize any objections to your statements as referenda on your character. Loudly protest your ignorance of even the concept of a dog whistle. Of course you didn't say that. Abuse yourself sarcastically in strong terms to show how misunderstood you are. Limit your scope. If the conversation happens across several blogs, pick the one you want to make your own. Most of the community will gravitate to the comment threads where real discussion is happening, leaving a smaller field for you to manipulate. Divide the community. Pick out a couple of people to side with. Ideally, these should be people with a history of both arguing with the community and making at least occasional good points. Agree broadly as soon as they say anything reasonable, so that anyone else who wants to agree with them must also agree with you. Deflect topical discussion. Engage with everyone who still wants to discuss the idea at hand. However, don't engage with them on the topic. If you can turn them to talking about your behavior, this is a plus, but any sideline or distraction will do. Deny group authority. Insist that if anyone wants to judge your behavior, they must also judge the behavior of all community members by the same standards. Point to their reactions to your bad behavior as bad behavior that also needs to be censured. Ignore the fact that you haven't contributed to the community in the same way they have. Prepare to lose. You've almost certainly chosen a blog where your disruption will be noticed. After all, that's what you're there for. The problem with avoiding chaos is that these people have come together for a reason--to talk to each other, not you. They're eventually going to go back to doing just that, closing up ranks, and you're going to have to find a new way, or a new blog, to get anyone to pay attention to you again.
An Antipodian? Y'all are making stuff up now. What the hell is an Antipodian, what do THEY sound like, and where do they come from? An Antipodian (pron: ANN_TIP_O_DEE_ANN) is a native of the Antipodes (pron: ANN_TIP_O_DEES), literally the countries in the hemisphere opposite to where you live. In the UK, when we talk about the Antipodes we mean Australia and New Zealand. Being the clever chap he is, Jeff (SD) used the 'A' word as his guess that Drew was referring to an Australian. Steve W.
Thanks for the lesson GPRegt, much obliged. There has been so much leg-pulling going on around here lately that I thought I was getting the wool pulled over my eyes on that one. I thought that they referred to that region as "Down Under" and "Oz."

I thought that they referred to that region as "Down Under" and "Oz." All to keep you confused, but I am here to keep my fellow Southern brethren out of the shoal waters of the various slang from the British Commonwealth. Another slang term for the Ozzies is Skippies. They absolutely love that term. Feel free to use it liberally (at your own peril). I think the Down Under was just an advertising gimmick.
This is NOT how we speak here in Alabama. This is an amalgamation of a couple of "Southern" accents YouTube - USA "Alabama" Accent This guy is fairly close to our speach patterns here, but I suspect he is from East Tennessee, juding by some of his word usage YouTube - Speaking Southern (the South has many different accents) American accents skip over to the 2 minute mark and he is a bit droll. A Portuguese with a Southern US English Accent YouTube - Southern accent this one is for the Frenchmen of the forum YouTube - Louisiana Cajun French Accent Cajun English YouTube - Old Cajun English Accent Can you imagine trying to converse with these two?

I wonder what an Antipodean from Alabama will be, an inhabitant of Vanuatu? The Marianas? Stonehenge?
