Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Re: You talk funny
Yeah, I realized recently that I lived in Chicago proper only one year less than I actually lived in Charleston proper. Admittedly, I have another 18 years until I'm in the Midwest as long as I was in the South.revbob wrote:Yeah the funny thing is that I've now lived more than half my life here.Dr. Medulla wrote:I didn't know you were a transplant.

Not strictly true, actually. I grew up calling them runners, but my generic term is running shoes. Nowadays, because of what I wear, I just says Chucks.

Re: You talk funny
I say tennis shoes. I know, it makes no sense, because 90% of the shoes I call that can't be even remotely classified as suitable for tennis, but that's what I grew up saying, and I can't shake it now. "Sneakers" feels weird as hell coming out of my mouth, even if I am never bothered when anyone else says it.Dr. Medulla wrote:*awkwardly raises hand*revbob wrote:And who the hell (besides my effed up cousins in Ottawa who say runners ) is saying anything but sneakers?

Re: You talk funny
Yeah, sneakers, runners/running shoes, and tennis shoes all seem weird or wrong somehow. I don't sneak, run, or play tennis in those shoes. It's a form of clothing that feels better to me to call by brand (Nike, Converse, etc).Wolter wrote:I say tennis shoes.

Re: You talk funny
For me sneakers is the generic term then you might have running shoes, tennis shoes etc.Dr. Medulla wrote:Yeah, sneakers, runners/running shoes, and tennis shoes all seem weird or wrong somehow.

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .
