HEY JANELB......howabout "WHERE YOU AT?"


My family is from there so I have to admit I can change into "NEWFIE" very quickly. NOT to mention when I have a newfie guest come to the front desk of the hotel I work at, I am DONE For the rest of the day!! My co-workers KILL THEMSELVES LAUGHING after someone leaves the desk because I can't STOP!!!

LOVE MY FAMILY!! When do you leave girl?? Drop me a line!! ;D

 

Hey spa_life_girl or "Where you to?"

I arrive on July 18th and the days are just crawling!

I'm thinking of bringing a Puffin and teaching everyone to sing "I'se the b'y" You up for it?

 

Ok ... so I was all confused, 'cause if anyone had asked me to spell Alum... I would have spelt it Aluminum, cause that's the only way I know to pronounce it. So I seached it up and found this website.

I can't think of any funny pronounciations I have ... but I do get the strangest looks when I use the name "bunny hug". Seems it's just in our province that anyone has a clue what it is (except maybe AB 'cause so many from SK move there). If you're wondering, a bunny hug is a hooded sweatshirt ... what the rest of the world would refer to as a "hoodie" or a "kangaroo jacket" (which although I get it's because of the pouch, sounds very odd to me). I have no idea where the name comes from ... but I've called it a bunny hug all my life. I searched up the term ... but I haven't found anything useful. Just silly stories of people staring blankly when they hear the word.

 

Hey I've heard Bunny Hug before
Some people in NL use it. But more often you hear hoodie.

 

Oh that's awsome! Now our provinces have two things in common, the use of the term bunny hug ... and being abandoned by Ottawa!

 

HEY SISTA.....

Kissing the puffins ARSE will be GREAT FUN!!!


Hey b'y I am with ya!!!

I shall be arriving Dec.5th so you gotta wait for me!!

"I'se the b'y" that builds the boat..........

Hip your partner Sally Tibo (sp?)

 

I'se The B'y that builds the boat and
I'se The B'y that sails her and
I'se The B'y that catches the fish and
Brings 'em home to Liza

Chorus:
Hip-yer-partner Sally Tibbo
Hip-yer-partner Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour,
All around the circle

Sods and rinds to cover your flake,
Cake and tea for supper
Cod fish in the spring of the year,
Fried in maggoty butter

Chorus

I don't want your maggoty fish
They're no good for winter
Well I can buy as good as that,
Way down in Bonavista!

Chorus

I took Liza to a dance,
As fast as she can travel,
And every step that she could take,
Was up to her knees in gravel

Chorus

Susan White she's outta sight,
Her petticoat wants a border,
Well old Sam Oliver in the dark,
He kissed her in the corner!

Chorus

I'se The B'y that builds the boat and
I'se The B'y that sails her and
I'se The B'y that catches the fish and
Brings 'em home to Liza

Chorus
