This will be an interesting thread moving forward......

"BMW" is pronounced "BMVEE"
So, it is NOT a Bavarian Manure Wagon, but a Bavarian Manure Vehicle.......

 

[HATCHEQUIP]

Damn guess the taxes are goin up again after the county finds out I've got 3 BMWs and their all convertibles.

 

[terex herder]

It'll be ok, just take the assessor for a ride in the convertible part. They belong there anyway.

one of my biggest pet peeves
People who put the letter G in
Cummins. Its not cummings

Its CUMMINS.

carry on.

I'm glad you pointed that out-used in a previous post {Cummings}.
Now I was going to step on that but decided not to, I cause enough people around here to frown
as it is, if I had done that I might have gotten one like reply, but because your new you gained
a total of 6 likes.

But pronunciation--folks all depends on the locale you grew up in-I would not expect a Norwegian
to have proper Alabama accent when talking about southern food.

 

[Truck Shop]

Lowbed or lowboy, What about a highbed, track hoe or excavator, excavator could just be a guy
with a shovel.
But really it's all about abbreviations and knowing what each represent, the language has become
so butchered/abbreviated---one thing is for sure though people like using abbreviations-they think
it sounds smart and moves them to hot sh!t status because they're in the know group.

I remember getting "crap" from a cousin in Minnesota back in the early 1960's when I was all of 11 or 12 years old when I pronounced my fathers sister's relationship to me as "my ant" cousin insisted I say Aunt!

As to the Cummins/Cummings thing for several years the salesman/delivery guy from the injection repair shop we sent our Cummins pumps to had the last name of Cummings. So we sent our Cummins stuff to Cummings to get it rebuilt!

Meanwhile back at the outhouse things are piling up.

Get it pumped or add some water and stir with boat oar, should flatten out & make more room,
need to cut costs everywhere you can these days.

 

[terex herder]

Its cheaper to just go after dark, who needs an outhouse anyway?
