I have to share this funny story. Our main painter, George, has a helper painter, Norman, who comes for a couple of hours each day. Norman is old. And he has a thick accent.
George introduced me to Norman and Norman said, "Ya know, I'll only be here for a couple a hours cause I'm retaard."
Huh? I just kind of looked at him and nervously smiled.
"Ya know, when you're retaard ya can only work a few hours a day."
I cringed a little bit, but then I realized he wasn't being horribly honest about his abilities, he was saying he is RETIRED.
It was so awkward. I swear, he said "retaard" a dozen more times while he was here and every time it was weird. By the fifth or sixth time I had to stop myself from giggling when he would say it.

Bahahaha! That's hilarious! When I first moved here I worked with a girl from the backwoods of KY. She told me that her "mama done did grow up in the holler."
What? What is a holler? I finally found out that she was saying "hollow" which is what they call a valley. Bahahahaha! People here also call grocery carts "buggies." I'd never heard that before.
That is funny - made me laugh out loud :)
