Popular Post Kurt Swanson Posted November 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) So, I'm finishing a run at my local hill and a very young woman ahead of me in the lift line says "Oh you're The Beautiful One who has been "paint-brushing" the hill with your hands!" She totally caught me off-guard with that comment, I mean how do you respond to that? The best part though, was the fact that my wife and two good friends were standing next to me when she said it. So I was called The Beautiful One the rest of the day. Edited November 17, 2019 by Kurt Swanson 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenchman Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I can confirm this, Kurt’s wife was a little put off by him being called the beautiful one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Two beautiful's, 1 elegent, a Monty Python reference, and a thumbs up from patrol. One of the most awesome comments ever after I hit a grooming ridge hidden under some fluff, blew out my toeside and slid into some b net by the park, I muttered " wasn't expecting that" The soft booter that was just above my liitle biff heard me, and replied "kinda like the Spanish inquisition" laughed my ass off. 2 separate members of the telluride ski team at different times commented on the beautiful riding, and trench's Ink, Ice and myself were making, a random skier that joined us on the chair said we all looked so elegant going down the hill. And finally, a patroller slid up as I was pulled off to the side waiting for an opening, and said, with a thumbs up "nice big carves you guys are leaving today" On the whole , a much more pleasant bunch of encounters than our usual " that there's a speed board" that we usually here from the camo clad KanTexaHomen holiday visitors.

b0ardski Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) i had the ski team coach on a busy day sit down next to me while I was eating nukem ramen and say " you make really elegant turns, fun to watch"; I was dumb struck being a dirty old hippy skiing on a snowboard Edited November 25, 2019 by b0ardski 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gendzwill Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I thought "y'all" was singular and "all y'all" was plural. So "all y'all's" would be plural possessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to diverge the topic too much, but how do all y'all Canadians address a group of people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually with “everyone”, “everybody” or “guys”. Guys would be casual for a small group, as in “hey guys, how’s it going?” The others could be any size group larger than a couple.

cin Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm not a native English speaker, but I always imagined "y'all" being short for "you all", so plural.. Also I'm still learning to carve so no nice comments on my cornering. Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm still learning to carve so no nice comments on my cornering. Yet. I agree, it's plural. We say "y'all are" (in most cases). There are probably some people who would say "y'all is", but I think that's the exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st_lupo Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 To paraphrase the meme: English in’t a language, its three languages stacked on top of each other and wearing a trench coat. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunSurfer Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 @st_lupo you missed slough (pronounced either sluff (to shed), OR sloo or slou - rhymes with cow - (wet swampy ground) thorough thought And it's far more than 3 languages stacked on each other now. Just about every country in the old British Empire has had words absorbed into English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 English is weird, but it can be understood through tough thorough thought though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzywave Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 2 different times I had someone in the lift line tell me that they skied into my trench and almost wiped out. I took it as a compliment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
