A common way of doing this is to shout "Alley, alley, oxen free!" or "Ollie, Ollie, oxen free!" * probably a corruption of "All ye, all ye, oxen free! (see discussion)" or the German "Alle, alle auch sind frei", (literally, "Everyone, everyone also is free"). Another variant in the US Midwest is "Ollie, Ollie, in come free". Charles Wilson wrote: ³When I was growing up in the American South we actually said, ŒAll ye all ye outs in free¹ when playing hide-and-seek (although we called it Œhide-and-go-seek¹).² Interestingly, apparently northern Ohio is in the south. At least I remember Wilson's version from a rural area near Cleveland. I'm from Warren, about 60 miles southeast of downtown Cleveland and we also called it "Hide and go Seek". And called "Allee, allee outsenfree" (that's what I thought it was). But Warren exisgts in an area along the eastern border of Ohio that extends doen to West Virginia and the area has quite a few language variants, some of which go me laughed at in later years as I got around the coutnry. I have now learned to say "creek" to rhyme with "seek" rahter than saying "crick", and "roof" to rhyme with "couth" instead of saying "ruoff" (that's the phonetic best I can do, but it's kind of like a dog's bark). I no longer buy a sack of groceries. I no longer apologize with a word that sounds like the Asian item of dress, the "sari"t I still call my native state "Ahya". Ah. But I was almost in Lorain County. In fact, some of the kids I played with were from there. Thus, at that time, the usage should have included all of the Cleveland area. |

In article ,

Its a little vague what salsa (as a sauce) means in UK, I cant quite pin it down, possibly has chopped stuff in it. In Spain I think it just means sauce. "Salsa verde" for fish is common. Parsley and olive oil etc. I'm going to be renting an apt. in Madrid from a guy whose nickname is "Nacho." I thought that was a Mexican thing too. |

(Some of the tasks kids were good for ED were mixing the oil into peanut butter and the color ED pellet/packet into margarine.) That brings back memories of many years ago reading my Grandmother's copies of the the Sturday Evening Post sent by her sister in the US. I was puzzled for a long time about the necessity for kneading in the coloring. I suppose it must have been something insisted on by America dairy producers to make things diffiicult for the competition. I was one of the kids that mixed the margarine. It was indeed the dairy producers who insisted on forbidding yellow margarine, so that it would not compete with butter. The kneading part was done by breaking a pellet of colorant into the margarine, which came in a bag. You then kneaded the bag. This was a great improvement over the previous system, where the margarine came in a white block which you put in a mixing bowl, then sprinkled the color powder over it. Then you mixed with a wooden spoon. The mixing never came out quite right with either system. There were often white spots, or fiercely orange ones. Everyone in my family hated margarine, and after the war was over, it never crossed our threshold again. I made pasta once, and without checking the packaging, threw in a lump of margarine (I usually put a knob of butter into pasta once it's cooked). It's the sort of mistake you don't make twice. You're not famous for learning from your mistakes, Nazi Coughlan.

Just because you stole his "yellow star" so you could whine that you are a victim of the Holocaust, you can't legally use his name. Tell everyone again how I made you wear it, when I don't accept that you are Jewish, much less deserving to wear a "yellow star" from one of your own victims. You're not Jewish. See John Rennie spank you about your claim that you are -- http://groups.google.com/group/alt.a...c993bba5d24130 But best of all... tell them how you feel that killing six million innocent Jews is NOT EVIL, but killing one single guilty murderer IS EVIL. Look at them again, gentle reader... look at how he finds the extermination of six million Jews to NOT BE EVIL, but finds the execution of a single murderer (ANY MURDERER) to be EVIL -- 1) Killing six million Jews is not evil to you -- Your words -- "I do not find the Shoah 'evil'... " See -- http://groups.google.com/group/alt.a...524217c1b01a2c Killing even one proven murderer is evil to you -- Your words -- "... well the death penalty is evil." See -- http://groups.google.com/group/alt.a...724d905de73484 Nothing could more precisely have defined your views in your own words. Why would I need to call you a Nazi, when you so readily offer your own words as proof of you being a Nazi? I don't need to claim that "no one believes you," Nazi Coughlan. I only ask that they DO believe you. I WANT THEM to believe your words represent your Nazi Holy Grail of how you feel about the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and ONE SINGLE MURDERER!!! With you feeling that killing six million innocent Jews in the Shoah was not evil, but killing any murderer is evil. That should put paid to proving you're a Nazi to any rational human being. Those who are not rational are not my concern. The irrational are the ones you depend upon for support. |
