NO I think it's "PURT-NEER" as in pretty near. My mothers was "In or out make up your mind" and "shut the door all the A/C is going out" and "Hell's Bells" to which I replied "ding-dong, ding-dong". The latter never turned out well. [Reply]
My God....the Dinner/Supper thing. Mom would get SO MAD.
Grandpa would start a sentence by saying "I Say" Ranks up there with people that start sentences with "I mean" What do you mean-you have not said anything yet.
Then people type " I mean" at the beginning of a sentence. Ugh. [Reply]
My mom called a cop "Fucko". That's where I got that, and my best friends older brother would tell us he was going to "knock your dick in the dirt." [Reply]
Grandpa was an Oklahoma wheat/beef farmer. Couple he said a lot were "drier than a popcorn's fart" referring to spring seasons with very little to no rain.
Grandma: "Where's Tank?"
Grandpa: "I don't know. SOB up and disappeared like a fart in the wind again."
Tank was his 2,000lb. Red Angus bull that learned how to open the gate on his pen and no matter what my grandpa did Tank would figure out how to open the gate. [Reply]
