A cool memelicious thing about you, not me

[womzilla]

I got this from my sister-un-law, trueheart:

I know little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I've read your user info, or we have something else in common. Some of you I know a little and look forward to getting to know over time.

I'd love it if every single person on my friends list would volunteer a personal nugget of information that might be evidence of a defining trait. Yes, even those people who think I know them reasonably well. Then post this in your own journal if you like.

Nugget #1 (not defining trait): I pronounce the word "during" as if it were spelled "deering". This linguistically localizes me to central rural Kentucky. If I tell you I know the word "skosh", meaning "a small amount" and derived from Japanese "sukoshi", returned to the US by servicemen during Korea, you can further lock me down to within a short radius of Fort Knox. (Fort Campbell is too far west.)

Nugget #2: I don't hold grudges. Once expressed, I forget anger, unless or until the stimulus is reapplied.

That's funny as all getout. We say "skosh" and
we're from Adaburg/Oboro. Maybe blame it on one
Uncle who was in Korea and passed it along to
ever'body else. I was amused to find that
when I say "during" in my head like how
I talk when I'm relaxed, it sounds very
much like how you spelled "deering" only more
"deern". I have a feeling I say it that way sometimes,
and other times not. Like, "Deern church,
Aint May kep clickin' her false teeth an
it was drivin' me crazy." However,
"Wow, durn that storm, I thought
f'sher the ruf was gone cave in." Something
about the vowels that follow after, or if
it's the first word or who knows whut.

But, do any of your folks
say "larapin"? As in, "That
was some larapin good coffee"?
