Don’t worry, everybody. It was just AI. What a relief! I almost thought this guy was a terrible person.

    I am in my 40’s, so it’s around the same era. All I am saying is that I have heard all of that slang before and it isn’t made up. (I even occasionally use “gag a maggot”, actually.)

      Maybe it’s a Southern thing. It all sounds old-timey to me.

          Well all I can tell you is that I’m 47, from Indiana, and I spend a lot of time listening to music from the 1930s and 1940s and I don’t say stuff like that.

            Yeah, so it’s probably regional. My family from your part of the world doesn’t use the colorful language I learned in NC. In many ways, it’s it’s more than just a dialect difference, it’s an entirely different language. Idioms are much more common, or at least, more colorful.
