Hmmm, I suspect he might be a "fake" Windsorite. People are always trying to hide their grubby backwoods upbringing, by claiming to be a hip urban shaker from Windsor. Sad.
... but I'll give the benefit of the doubt for the moment, and check if anyone else here has heard of "darts"
There were several I'd never heard of before.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of "out for a rip", "hooped it", "Larrys and Rogers", "jambuster", "that's jokes" and "a dart".
Maybe it's the semi-americanization growing up across the river from Detroit.
Is there a cure?
I know "Larrys and Rogers", "out for a rip" and Mr. Nag calls cigs "darts" . Of course he's from Windsor which is 30 seconds from Detroit.

I asked around last night, but nobody's heard of "darts" down here (other than the throwing kind).
ReplyDeleteYour hubby must have picked up this unfortunate turn of phrase somewhere else. It's a small taint, but still worrying nonetheless.
He also calls shadflies Junebugs. What am I to do with someone like that?
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean Mayflies?
ReplyDelete... but I hears ya on the Junebugs. That's just wrong.
As per usual, I recommend spankings!
