The 79

[acsumama]

Some people get tattoos to commemorate important times in their lives. I've decided I'm going to honor my past by adopting dialectical quirks. So I'll remember growing up in western PA by pronouncing "creek" as "crick," and my trips to Australia by saying "no worries" and "good onya," and my time in Arizona by putting "the" in front of numbered

I like this a lot.

You forgot "Mate!" for Australia

I don't want to Australian up my whole dialect. I have to leave room in case, say, I ever move to the east end of London and want to take up calling everyone "guv'nor."

Heh Rob just went on a rant about how Arizonans are all hicks for saying this, too.

I love this idea.

And you know us laconic Aussies, sometimes "good onya" is too much work and we have to shorten it to "onya".
