'Mayonnaise' in other words...

[Ladyazh]

Happy New Year everyone!
I am laughing trying to figure out how to post it but I just HAVE to share it with you...
Yesterday my husband opens a freedge and looking for something for a long time and I am asking what is that he needs and for unknown to me reason he gets all uptight and tells me with snotty tone of voice: MY!-OWN!-A**!
I do not remember laughing so hard thinking he went nuts and later in a second realising that he WAS actually looking for what he said - 'Mayonnaise'!!!

 

[flapeyre]

LadyAZH:

Is your hubby from N'awlinz?

Tibi gratias agimus quod nihil fumas.

 

[Ladyazh]

I wish I got it but I did not yet but I am assuming it is hillarious??? Please, 'xplain

 

[Stella740pl]

I guess flapeyre means N'awlins, aka N'awlinz, a slang name for New Orleans, Louisiana and their special accent.

Because 'mayonnaise' (in English, of course ;-)) is usually pronounced [mey-uh-neyz] (

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=mayonnaise),

which doesn't sound like 'my', or all the rest of what you have heard.

But I don't think he is from Louisiana .

 

[flapeyre]

Down here some of us we pronounce it MY-naize. Particulaly those from the 9th Ward, and St. Bernard ("da Parish").

A lot of "Chalamtians" (from Chalmette, in storm-battered St. Bernard Parish) have moved up to St. Tammany Parish, where I live. The new informal name for St. Tammany Parish is "St. Tammanard".

Freedge"?

Never heard that one before. Thought it was 'fridge' from 'refridgerator', or from "Fridgidair" the refridgerator maker.

I'm not one to go around correcting spelling on internet forums... I screw it up often enough on my own.

But since this is Making An Impression, I feel bound to point out that it is Refrigerator.... no 'D' in the middle. So the interesting thing is, that it seems to pick up the 'd' when it is abbreviated as in William "The Fridge" Perry*.

Oh and I remember hearing Mayonaisse being spoken that way by Justin Wilson, a Cajun chef that used to cook on PBS before the Food Network.

[in my best accent]

I guarantee*.

[/I don't actually have a 'best' accent, but you probably figured that out]

~Thadeus

*[small]ga-rawn-tee, with the 'a' pronounced as in 'at', and very much through the nose.[/small]

 

[Ladyazh]

Of course it's a 'fridge' sorry.
And you all hillarious!!!

We've watched a movie where one man told to another that someone 'don't speak proper English' and he was stand corrected 'he doesn't speak proper English' and all people there were Americans so when i am ashamed of my misspellings I try to remember my favorite thing...like that movie '12 angry men' and then i don't feel so bad
But you welcome to correct me at ANY TIME!

Justin Wilson is a great cook and even better comedian.

I remember one of my grandparents calling it the "Refrigiderator" (evidently something that Frigidaire had coined). Another grandparent still called it the Ice Box (from the old days when you would actually have a block of ice in the top of a box to keep food cool. In fact, my old pop-up camper had an ice box. A box with a shelf on the top for a block/bag of ice, and a little drain line so that as the ice melted, it would drain the water off).

Amen, Cajun.

Yoos-Tawn Wilson's earlier vinyl is some of the funniest (and "blue"-est) stuff you'll ever hear.

If you don't pee your pants listening to his stories, get your friends to help you find your sense of humor, because it's missing.
