The loss of American collequialism's
 
#5
Quote:Along similar lines, when's the last time anybody heard the expression,
"talk about you like a dog," again referring to demeaning speech?  This
was probably another one with Southern origins, because whenever it
passes through my mind's ear, it's pronounced, "dawg."
"Treated like a dawg",  I' ved heard plenty of around here.  "Treated like a red headed step-dawg"? Never heard that. either.
BTW, I heard another colloquialism here in 'Ham. It's more like a chant
Roll Who!!
Tide!!
If you follow collegiate football, you can figure it out.
