What does "for sell" actually mean?

See what you did Denis? 

I hope you're feeling better now.

In the South it isn't pin or pen, it's pin or ink pen, no one says pen, always ink pen. That's how they avoid confusion.

-AJ

Yep.

Stick pin
Straight pin
Ink pen

Hardly anyone down around here uses pin or pen alone in a sentence.

It means some people cannot stand grammatical and spelling errors.

[oldbike54]

 Do any of you guys who don't live in the Northern plains states know what the terms "cooley" or  "carpass" are describing ?

 Dusty

[PJPR01]

Cooley as in indentured labor?  With several different spellings, but either Hindi or Chinese labor...a pretty offensive term...

Carpass sounds like one of the EZPasses or Electronic tags used to drive on a toll road...

Another common mistake:  A person who sells REAL ESTATE...often referred to as a RELA TOR...no idea why people invert the letters, but it's a very common error, even by some Real estate agents themselves.

I would guess that a cooley is a cold beverage.

Carpass:

The piece of the carp you throw away.

 Nope , notice the spelling difference ? Also no to the second guess . Dude , you lived in Wisconsin, you never ventured West into the land of Uffda ?

 Dusty

[PJPR01]

Never heard either of those terms in "Skansin" either and yes, I noticed the Y on the end, but included the comment of multiple spellings possible.

Uffda...give me a double brat once with da works, ya hey?  and start with me last if you would...  :)

West as in Minnesoooooooowwwww wwta, or Eau Claire/LaCross area?

:)

Carpass...hhmm...ma ybe a Compass then perhaps?   Cooley...I'm guessing a cold Coors light with 1.2% alcohol level... 

[oldbike54]

 Dang Paul , I really thought you might know those terms 

 OK , since even our resident travelers can't guess , a "cooley" is what we would call a gully , often times with a fresh spring flowing in it .

 Now , for the carpass thingie , think about that foe few moments . Hint , Car Pass , cattle country .

That's right. Spelling is coulee. e.g. Spring Coulee in southern Alberta. https://goo.gl/maps/1f71EjuwETL2 I like looking on line at Helmuts for sale.

Sounds like deliberate obfuscation to throw us off the scent!

Car pass - gate to get into a ranch by car?

Isn't there supposed to be a coulee running underneath that car pass?  Looks like a cow grate to me, so car pass sounds like a misnomer. 

 

[Daniel Kalal]

I grew up calling those crossings "cattle guards."  Likewise I grew up calling the vast volcanic ravines that you see in Washington "Coulees" (as in Grand Coulee Dam), but never anything smaller.  But, there are regional differences where you wouldn't expect them and they reflect what's there (not being many vast volcanic ravines in Oklahoma).

 How does one go about grating a cow ?

 Dang Paul , we need to get you to NoDak , they have all kinds of colorful descriptive words for everyday things . Likely because similar to parts of Appalachia the old terms and words have hung on long after the rest of us have become homogenized . Asking for directions in NW NoDak can be interesting .

 "Well , ya go down to da cottonwood tree down dere by ol' Svens place , ya know , ol' Sven , da guy wit da old Gleaner combine in his front yard . Then ya take a left right after da first car pass , da one right near da bi coulee dat runs right 'cross da road when da big rains come floodin' out ol' Gunter's place , Don't know why ol' Gunter keeps ah farmin' dat land , it only makes about 35 bushels in da best years..."

This is actually an interesting speech phenomenon...with many Swedish and German immigrants...the Der Die or Das from German meaning "The" (masculine, feminine or neuter version depending on the noun) or the "De" from Swedish also meaning "The",  could easily have been converted over the years to "da"...and many speech patterns as well follow some of the original German grammar, almost literally translated into English. 

Languages are fascinating, and many interesting patterns to compare.

Cattle guard = cow grate...makes perfect sense too (no reference to Parmiggiano/Parmesan cheese activity)...other than the cows make the milk...

Freeze it first, then grate it. Might want a powered grater though.
