Ohhhh...I think they're more like Wagon Wheels, Matt.

Matt64 · 07-17-2004, 07:09 PM

Oh! Wagon Wheels! OK.. I get it!

Sounds a little like a Whoopie Pie in Pennsylvania?

Matt - we call them Wagon Wheels (like the Brits do)

Moon Pie

Whoops!! I think I missed a page - the one with the explaination and recognition

I'm southern but I've never cared for those MoonPie things...way too sweet

My family members used to tease me by calling me "Moon Pie Face." Yes, thanks, Grandma & Grandpa, I am now in therapy for thinking I look like a walking snack cake.

Being from Hawaii we have TONS and TONS of expressions we call broken english like....

"Bruddah"/"Brah" = Brother
"Sista" = Sister
"Cuzz" = Cousin
"Lets Bag" = Let's Go

I could go on more and more on this.....

But before I hit send I was wondering what the darn is "Shotgun" ?!?!?
Ya know that Capri Sun Ad w/ the girl waiting for the grandmother/aunt who's taking her sweet time to get to the car and at the end of the ad she says "Shotgun"..... When I was told what it mean I said ohhhhhh.......
