I don't know about that, as I would have never guessed what "grinder" meant.bookowlie wrote:Somehow the Southern phrases seem like something outsiders never understand, while NY slang expressions make sense.

- Latest Review: You, This Is Me...OVER?! by Clinton Beaudel Dooley
We can't just make up new words because in psychology, schizophrenics who make up "new" words are insane and these words are called "neologisms". I'm assuming there are other criteria for making up new words. Perhaps someone else, or a lot of people heard that and now they are paranoid. Someone's gotta do it, though!
As to "Dad Blame!" - this book is the only place I've ever heard the expression. I've come across "Dag nab it!" which I think means about the same thing, but could also be interpreted as "Someone referred to as Dag ought to take/steal something"
Makes me think of the movie when Brad Pitt (Mickey) asks "DJew like dags?" Of course, everyone likes dogs.
