Thread: Hispanically Speaking, Bush's English Ain't So Hot. So Watt?

It was a mis-spelling. It should have read 'pidgin'.

pidg-in(pij'-en) n. 1. an auxiliary language that has developed from the needof speakers of two different languages to communicate and is primarily a simplified form of one of the languages, with a reduced vocabulary and grammatical structure.

Nothing there to be insulted over, brother.

How many times have you split a gut listening to Jeff Foxworthy?

Have a Coke and a smile

I have heard Georgis accents and don't put you down for if ...calling a Texan a pigeon is the same as (MOD EDIT: See the rules) And a Texas accent is alot like Jeff Foxworthy.

Was all of this necessary?

I happen to like the Texas drawl. Bush doesn't sound country... just
unintelligent ALL the time!

I will admit I don't listen to the President much - haven't for a very long time.

He is not proficient in English - he is not proficient in Texan - and unless he has improved 500% - his Spanish is a joke.

When he was running the first time, his Spanish was terrible - I am sure he has been working on it day and night - just to keep his friends happy, but somehow I doubt it.

If you can't think in your own native tongue - you aren't going to be able to think in a foreign language

Thanks for the correction pinestraw. I was just enjoying the idea that a Texan really believed he was being called a pigeon. Very funny.

You pidgin is exactly correct.

This Texan didn't think you were calling me a pigeon - I did fully understand it was an insult.

I also realized you had misspelled the word - I am not big on correcting that since sometimes it is hard for me to get my fingers, my keyboard and my brain to get together.

I insult is an insult whether misspelled or not.

Since folks are getting upset, and no amount of mediation seems to be working, I've decided to lock this thread.

Y'all really should lighten up a little.
