When my sons were little we had an Irish couple that visited Ticonderoga.Bryce was talking about having been out the night before.."Twas pissed I twas! Barely able to walk meself to da loo" In this country to say piss is a vulgur way of saying to take a pee or urinate.My little boys not being around swear words got to giggling and saying "I say uncle Fran pissed..giggled ..one time.."They continued to make excuses to use the word.They continued for weeks until I'd had it and I told them they were not allowed to use the word again.My little Caleb always the sharp comedian says"So Mom now's you're saying we can't speak Irish just when we all are starting to catch on so good!" My husband and I laughed more over their use of the Irish language.

I do also but I'm more particle to the Scot's accent.We have friends that come every summer from all over so we hear lots of different accents.I've traveled a bit when I was younger so I have a mixed up all over the US accent.
Which do you have?

Oh well I would surely of had a laugh to as I understand what you mean and when you mix with different peole and the things that they say especially when they come from different counties,. It is funny to how quickly all people pick up the bad words first.
