    You’ve been warned.

    Are you filing extensions this time of year too? 😮

    No.
    For some reason there’s folks out there who think I’m an accountant. I’m not.
    But I do know the accounting world.

    I only thought you were an accountant because you were MIA for a couple of days and, well, it's tax season....no other reason to not be on mfp, right, must be an accountant!

    ...pssst...dont be creeped out because I notice when people aren't around...I make up reasons for them.
    So and so is on vacation, so and so is dealing with their neighbour's sick dog, y'know

    *edit
    Just noticed you said "folks", so my southern states guess was right!

    You folks don’t say folks? I say folks and I’m more canadian than southern

    Nope never
    It's a weird word to me, like I think it means "people" in general or it's referring to your parents. Not commonly used here (by people I know anyhow). I'd say "you people" or "my parents" (but I never say that because they are not a unit, lol, for me it's mom, dad or step-dad or stepmonster)

    Got me curious, heard a local say "trash" the other day (referring to garbage). Thought he must be American.
    I obviously get it, what they are talking about and know Americans use the word for garbage, but got me thinking...I use it for commenting on appearance "trashy" looking or just a negative like "trash talk".

    What do you say there Cakey? For some reason I think we have regional similarities.

    I say "y'all" and I've spent almost my entire life in beautiful Michigan. Tho my dad was from Georgia so I'm sure I picked it up from him

    I love hearing people say y'all, but feel it's some how wrong if you don't speak it with a soft inflection...I feel condescending if I try to say it. And I don't want to be. Don't think my sharp (is that what northern or Canadian accents are? To me that's the first description I can think of) would sound "right" saying certain words or phrases, it's just laughable. Or possibly insulting.

    I love regional dialects. Have heard some amazing ones on mfp. Super cool advantage of a global community!

    Thats cool. About your dad's influence. I like how regional phrases can get carried around by your influences. You probably say it right!

    I will say take out the trash or trash can but I didn’t grow up hearing it that way. ‘Garbage’ is just such a harsh unpleasant word rolling off the tongue 😅

    I've also noticed you saying y'all before.

    I pick up lingo from lots of places, as I have family all over.

    Same. I picked up y’all from southern friends and family, and maybe partly because the regional norm of ‘you guys’ feels so GoodFellas

    I'm good with "you guys" (I'll throw that around a lot) but I go with y'all when I'm in a hurry. Which is often, because *apparently* midwesterners like to speak fast and slur words together.

    I can't go with "you's" tho, I had a few friends who used that when I was growing up and it always sounded...off.

    "Trash" -
    "you look trashy" (could be a compliment?!)
    "I got trashed" (maybe had fun?!)

    Ok let me rephrase. I would never take "you look trashy" as a compliment. Because that isn't the look I go for.

    BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN THOUGH, OK.

    "Trash" -
    "you look trashy" (could be a compliment?!)
    "I got trashed" (maybe had fun?!)

    This is never a compliment.

    well...in some scenarios i suppose, a person, like a guy for example, maybe he likes the "trashy" look a lil bit and so it *could* be a compliment im just saying who are we to judge anybody else yknow i thought this was america

    Ok let me rephrase. I would never take "you look trashy" as a compliment. Because that isn't the look I go for.

    BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN THOUGH, OK.

    What if you were to dress up a Oscar the Grouch for Halloween and someone said you look really trashy. How about then?

    I thought no one noticed that

    We’re detail focused people.
    You’ve been warned.

    Are you filing extensions this time of year too? 😮

    No.
    For some reason there’s folks out there who think I’m an accountant. I’m not.
    But I do know the accounting world.

    I only thought you were an accountant because you were MIA for a couple of days and, well, it's tax season....no other reason to not be on mfp, right, must be an accountant!

    ...pssst...dont be creeped out because I notice when people aren't around...I make up reasons for them.
    So and so is on vacation, so and so is dealing with their neighbour's sick dog, y'know

    *edit
    Just noticed you said "folks", so my southern states guess was right!

    You folks don’t say folks? I say folks and I’m more canadian than southern

    Nope never
    It's a weird word to me, like I think it means "people" in general or it's referring to your parents. Not commonly used here (by people I know anyhow). I'd say "you people" or "my parents" (but I never say that because they are not a unit, lol, for me it's mom, dad or step-dad or stepmonster)

    Got me curious, heard a local say "trash" the other day (referring to garbage). Thought he must be American.
    I obviously get it, what they are talking about and know Americans use the word for garbage, but got me thinking...I use it for commenting on appearance "trashy" looking or just a negative like "trash talk".

    What do you say there Cakey? For some reason I think we have regional similarities.

    I will say take out the trash or trash can but I didn’t grow up hearing it that way. ‘Garbage’ is just such a harsh unpleasant word rolling off the tongue 😅

    Ya, but... Garbage is garbage...nothing pleasant about it.

    But if that's what your going for...

    Lolol, maybe that's a bit of a regional difference!
    The phrase "trash" makes laugh, if you said I looked like "garbage" I'd be offended!
