In Dublin fair city where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet molly malone She wheeled her wheel barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles ans mussels...

Julio, i sang that song as part of a final test in a college vocal class. but i thought the name of the song is "cockles and muscles?"

it doesn't really matter, 'cause either way it is a really pretty song. sad, but pretty. (i kinda remember molly dying in the third verse)

Well, Mac The Mouth did sing it, but it was a solo single, I do believe. I prefer that to the a-side of September Song.

Walhalla natives are known as "rednecks" while non-natives who are wealthy enough to live in Keowee Key (the "rich" part of Oconee County) are known as "assholes" or "damn Yankees" :D

Remember though, many of the yuppie A-holes are Yankee transplants who are following their jobs to the business friendly confines of Collin County.

In what part of Plano do you live? I'm at Independence and (ironcally) McDermott.

In Corby, it depends on what estate you live. Most have the collective term of Bog Rats. Or Skag Heads. The dudes in the next town along are called Ketteringers. Or sheep shaggers.

Originally posted by Sean&nbspTaugher is that, in anyway, related to the german word "fenster"? probably not, but i thought i'd ask.

No not really: fenster translates to window. Feanster is a freesian word meaning: someone digging for peat. From approx 1600 to 1900 people used to do that a lot down there.

Most born and bred New Yorkers think of themselves just as New Yorkers. Except for people from Brooklyn who still resent the fact that NYC annexed them in like 1898. Get over it. And people transplanted from other locales to Manhattan only think of NYC as anything south of 96th Street in Manhattan only. But they'll all eventually go back to whatever crappy towns they came from to raise their kids, so we put up with em as long as they spend money and keep many real New Yorkers employed in service economy jobs.

But technically:

Bronx residents (where I'm originally from): Bronxites Staten Island residents: Staten Islander or AlmostNewJerseyan or Organized Crime Member :laugh: Manhattan residents: Manhattanites Queens residents: Queensian (lived there for 7 years and not 100% sure, but I think this is it) :shrug: Brooklyn residents: Brooklynite or PricedOutOfManhattanite
