Goofy Gun Slang and Expressions
- Thread starter ebb
- Start date
A guy was driving down the road and saw a tractor and a wagon parked by the side of the road, and a sign that said Boat For Sale.
Well, he’d been thinking about getting a boat so he stopped at the farm house and knocked on the door.
The farmer came to the door and the guy says “I saw the tractor and the wagon but I wanted to ask about the sign that says Boat For Sale.
Farmer says, “Yah, dey boat for sale...”
Go to Reading PA and use the town’s name as it is spelled, Reading as in reading a book, and they’ll laugh at you. Literally laugh, shake their heads and say “It’s Redding.” You say that’s not how it’s spelled and they go “Yeah it is. R-e-a-d-i-n-g. Redding.”
Like the town in England I guess.

There is no way that I could come up with any different kind of pronunciation for Lapua in the USA. I would pronounce it just like the the Lapua guy in a previously linked video pronounced it. Many years ago I was talking to one of the shooters at my club/range. He kept going on and on about "Sahara" bullets, and I had no idea what he was talking about. He could see that I was confused and he then said "The Bulletsmiths"

I just came in and asked my wife”G’eat”, she said no I haven’t eaten yet.
Around here (Ohio) it's New-tun. Or even worse, we have a habit of not pronouncing the vowel in front of the t in this and similar words. Newt-n.
Not to nit pick...well OK I am nit picking but I believe that the Finish guy in the video saying Lapua is not saying LAP-wa he is saying LAP-u-wa. You have to listen closely. Maybe even slow down the playback speed. He emphasizes the first syllable, the second syllable (the u) is very much de-emphasized but it is there, and the third syllable is de-emphasized but not as much.
So today I learned how the Fins pronounce Lapua. Am I going to change the way I say it? Probably not

Ditto in Me. In Newton, the O just doesn't roll off the tongue does it.

I hate when people start out a a sentence with "so".
"So my rifle really likes..."
What value does adding "so" provide to the sentence?

I’ve got a guy that I work with some that wears me out with “you see”.

Much like "you know"? My daughter picked up the you know bug in high school. Every time she said it, I would reply, "no I don't know, explain it to me".... only took about two days to lose that.
