      Sort of like damn, or darn.
      So instead of "damn it" you might say "dang it"

      Yes, it's said to avoid a curse word.

      You are stared at openly, usually with a look of anger or disgust.

      Basically it's called 'stink' eye because they look at you like you smell bad. :D

      Thank you for clearing that up. I had visions of being poked in the eye with a stinky stick :)

      I love the differences between the way everyone talks. I am often asking my UK friends, "what does this mean?" Love to learn new things.

      I had a very dear friend(I say "had" because she died in 1986) who, when she was trying to avoid swearing, would yell "dirty words and obscene phrases!". I would crack up everytime she said it. You know, it leaves it up to the listener to fill in the blanks!

      So true, I am sure every language has its own slang... even sign language, which is something I would love to learn.

      The United States East coast has so many different slang words and accents, it's easy to tell where people are from. in Maine, you're a Goober (goofy idiot) with Bumpah Stickah (Bumper sticker) Boston has it's own accent and other words you won't hear elsewhere. New Yorkers are easy to tell they're from there or North Jersey. South Jersey and Philly are similar. Yo, what are yous guys doin? Maryland's eastern shore and Chesapeake bay are unique too. If you want a bushel of crabs, you have to say oone booshell. Virginia down through the Carolina's and Georgia are all Southern accents and slang words, such a the term Stink eye.

      People say goober here in California.

      And while some say dang, I think we are too lax out here. Most people here use S### and F&&& very liberally. :/

      Dang is almost akin to damn, except people say dang to avoid saying damn. It's like someone saying "crap" instead of "s***t"- they mean the same thing except one is a more family-friendly word. Crap used to be a swear word when some years ago though, lol. Or at least teachers treated it as such.

      Whichever words you choose, remember you're not above anyone if you choose to use them or not :smiley:. Except for phobic and ___ist words. That is different.

      I'm interested in learning sign, too.

      Don't get your dong stuck in the dang
    • Posts: 12,618 Member

      So I live in MD (unfortunately) but I am from Ohio. I say goober all the time! Bless his/her/your heart is another one. A lot of the "country girl sayings" are in my vocabulary haha.
