You know, I was just explaining to my kids how a certain word is pronounced differently by carpetbaggers, and I thought "Hey -- MelodyLane says 'yankee' often enough, but I don't hear her say 'carpetbagger' often enough. I should suggest she use that word more often." And, of course, I knew just where to do that.
Oh, and "bump."

If anyone's wondering, the difference between a yankee and a carpetbagger:
A yankee is a silly northerner who does and says things wrong.
A carpetbagger is a yankee who thinks that southern people ought to do and say things the same wrong way that he does.

Incidentally, this thread is easy to find if you just search for the word "carbide."
I'm just saying.

Aw, and so all of us Yankees are just carpetbaggers? Thought a carpetbagger was derived from the bags a lot of nasty little opportunists used to carry when they came down to take advantage of the south after the Civil War. I had no idea that those Yankees had anything to do with thinking..anything..really.  Thanks for straightening me out on that

A carpetbagging yankee is the kind who wants to make the civilized world do and say things in his backward yankee ways. And of course that encompasses the original carpetbaggers you mentioned, the opportunists who came down after the Civil War.

Just in time for the latest "G-BCW" MB poster .....Yes, you're exactly right Mel. Improving communication would not help her marriage, no not at all. But then again you are always right, and I guess I should just stay out of your way. Excellent suggestion that I am going to take to heart. In parting I wish to thank you for proving my point.
Mods, please delete all of my threads, I do not wish to be a disruptive influence to people in need, and so would like to eradicate my presence here.
To those of you who I have benefitted in some small or large way, I say -
Arigato gozaimasu!! Sumimasen, ikanakutewa narimasen! Sayonara. And, we have another .... GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD contestant !!!!!! Clearly, NOT a winner. Neither creative nor original. 1 on a scale of 10, TEN being BEST. Deleted, entirely too many angry, sensitive, and spiteful folks here. Best of luck to you all. Bye. Americajin wins by a noodle.

Sheesh... all I did was to analogize improving a broken relationship that started with over 10 years of shacking up by getting married with eating cow crap until it started to taste good...
Is that really "angry and spiteful?"
