The motorcycle pulls up to the stop light at the intersection of Broadway and Danforth. It is a beautiful evening and Dirk and I are on a ride.
On our right is one of Edmond’s finest patrolmen.
His police car window is rolled down.
The light is still red and Dirk raises his helmet visor.
Oh no…he’s not going to ask it…
Yep…, he is…..
“You wanna race?” Dirk asks, with a smile.
The policeman smiles back.
“Y’ont to? But she rides with me.”
The light turned green. We didn’t race. But we sure did laugh!
What did he just say?
=====================
For Theresa (who visits soon from California)
Y’ont (pronounced yuh-ohnt) is a one syllable word meaning “you want”? We'll have more translations to come so you’ll understand the language when you get here.
I know Theresa is familiar with y’all and alla y’all….she’s been practicing. : )
The rest of you begin thinking of some of the best Okie phrases and terms you’ve heard (or use). We’ll revisit this tomorrow so she can have some time to study before she gets here on August 14th.

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is: "mighty fine" but it's always about beer or nascar or Bricktown.
Got hit on by a cop huh?
