Well, if you could say Ice Cream really fast as a monosyllabic word, that would be it.

Are you being deliberately difficult, or have you actually got a way of saying "quiet" with just one syllable? Every time I try I sound like a baby bird squwarking for worms! * grin *

* laughing out loud * "John fudgeed Shirley" My parents' names! Look what they ended up with!?! Fudging ME!!

I saw the word "centence" in there... and according to Merriam Webster Fudge "is akin to Dutch fokken to breed cattle" I also read that farmers fudgeed the earth with seeds... I don't remember where I saw that now....

I really need to move to Alabama... I'm sure I'd fit in there. If I spend too much time around someone with a southern accent, I start to uncontrollably mimic the accent. It's like I really want to talk that way. I also have a lot of trouble competing with all the fast talkers up here.

When I was in LA, my friend's boyfriend was from New York, and it was so funny because I kept running to get ahead of him so I could face him just to hear him speak....because he was talking so fast, I was struggling that bad just to understand what he was saying! I felt like I was running all week just to keep up with his speech!

No, actually I'm usually pretty well behaved. However, once I've said "chicken", there isn't much point in any pretense... * grin *

of course, I know that sweetie, which is why I was suprised. I think the laughter has left the joke at this point and we're both at the point of the "ok, Elvis has left the building...." let it go away....and yet here I am still talking.... did you ever get one of those people who just kept posting to you long after what you were done talking about was over? Isn't that annoying? Someone should make a survey about that. LOL
