Weave Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Would your elderly relatives be about 150 at this point? More likely that is how PA and his peers pronounce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I seen it. VERY popular on Rochester's west side. Along with living rooms in the garage with requisite screen for summer and plastic on the furniture. It would be funny if I was joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called a Polish Porch, and growing up, we were the first family on our block to have one. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Might be the Polish Porch in Buffalo, but here it's the Italian porch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Might be the Polish Porch in Buffalo, but here it's the Italian porch. Well, when you are from the Buffalo area, no matter where your ancestor came from, you're half Polish, half Canadian. And Canadian porch just sounds stupid.

Actually, if you're of European descent; if you're in Buf'lo and you aren't at least 1/2 Polish, Irish, or Italian you're either just visiting or just not trying. Just sayin'.

Eleven Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 STOP USING "OF" INSTEAD OF "HAVE" !!!! If I see one more person post something like, "Connolly should OF gotten back in time", I'm gonna..... I'm gonna........ *head explodes* :death: "Then somebody remembered that twice a year Mr. Goldfarb had gone gallivanting off somewhere. He must of gone off to Cincinnati. The son must of sent him the ticket. The preacher said that to the best of his recollection the times the old man used to go to Cincinnati must have been Jewish feast days. He said he respected people for being true to their religion." Robert Penn Warren, Flood. Warren uses both "must of" and "must have" in the same paragraph, and since he's one of America's most decorated writers (only person to win a Pulitzer both for poetry and for fiction, first US poet laureate, etc.), you can bet it is done on purpose. Most of the novel takes place in the sixties, but this passage describes a memory from the thirties, in small-town Tennessee. The "somebody" doing the remembering is likely just some old townie. But the preacher is presumably a man with some education. Even though none of the three uses are quotations, Warren still attributes the colloquial (and wrong) "must of" to the townie and the correct "must have" to the educated preacher. Thought of weave's post as soon as I read that passage. Still enjoying the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frissonic Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 What's really bad are those words that don't change spelling whether they're singular or plural. Deer Moose Pepperoni (I encountered "pepperonis" a lot when I worked at Domino's pizza near the Holidome in Henrietta. Extremely annoying, but they probably didn't know any better). Dough (I said "doughs" in front of my manager at the same place. He was quick to correct me.) :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: First off, first post. Glad to be here. And stuff. Second, for the longest time, I had people convinced that the plural of moose was "meese." My "logic" was "goose" vs. "geese." SO many people bought into it. For the most part, I just chuckled to myself. The more people that bought into it though, the sadder I became. Eventually, I just gave up. I started losing faith in humanity.
