  • I love your accent. You guys speak in such a wonderful, relaxed way. How do you spell that expression you mentioned when somebody's riled? Thanks.

  • @loltion

    Well, when someone's angry we refer to it as "riled up." Is that what you mean? Riled up, madder than a wet hen, spittin' nails..."I was so mad I coulda spit nails!" Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments!

  • @loltion Okay, phonetically, it would be : (day-law), but you have to drag it out in a drawl: day-laaaaaw. You don't hear that one nearly as much as you do "Lord"...pronounced "Lo-werd"...one word, two syllables.

  • ha I love this, Im from London.

  • Just so you know: I LOVE "Flight of the Conchords,"...they're from New Zealand, and I've started watching the show. My daughter watches the shows with me and we do lines from it. The other day she was doing a British accent, and I said, "That's a New Zealand" accent, not

    British. She said, "Let me hear a British accent again." I did some and she tried again...with no success! So, she says to me, "Thanks a lot! Now that we've watched Flight of the Conchords, I've lost my British accent!"

  • fried pop tart fried grilled cheese fried twinkie fried bacon

  • Livermush? That's not on the menu at the Waffel House is it? I've never eaten anything good with liver in the title! I guess I'll just take your word for it. As far as "warsh/worsh" goes, you have to be pretty far back in the sticks to hear that deep of an accent. Thanks for watching!

  • I love me some waffle house. I'm not sure which state you're from, but I'm from NC and we have livermush here and no one's heard tell of it! My family says "warsh" for "wash." Haha(:

  • Yeooo shur gaht sum gawl cumin' in heyur tawkin' like that!

    IM FROM THE COUNTRY AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY.
