12:34 am
dcseain

this game taught me that haint as in 'haint blue' is very much local to this part of the Appalachian dialect continuum. Probably from Northern England or Scots I'd guess.
12:34 am
dcseain

haint means spirit
12:35 am
sprite

morning babblers, hi seain! Linked to haunted maybe?
12:37 am
dcseain

apparently, yes.
12:38 am
sprite

ks killed
12:38 am
dcseain

there's a set of colors we call West Virginia colors: Paint the house a brick red and yellow, with haint blue around the windows and doors and the underside of porch roofs, and the floors of the porches to keep spirits out.
12:39 am
dcseain

haint blue is a sort of bright, but deeper shade, of sky blue.
12:39 am
sprite

ah nice. I know that painting blue around windows and doors helps to keep flies out, didn't know about spirits
12:40 am
dcseain

huh. I had no clue about the flies being repelled by that.
12:40 am
dcseain

that's useful to know.
12:41 am
dcseain

we tend toward full screens here to prevent that
12:42 am
sprite

I think the practice is older than the existence of screens, tbh.
12:42 am
dcseain

probably.
12:45 am
dcseain

only just found an8. As I'm allergic to it. Upside, I knew that suffix would prove useful.
12:46 am
sprite

:D
12:46 am
sprite

I keep wanting to make ananas
12:47 am
jeanne314

Oh, I see Sprite went on a murder spree against the Ks again! I'm lacking one.
12:47 am
dcseain

pineapples or bananas?
12:47 am
sprite

gooooo jeanne!
12:47 am
sprite

bananas minus b equals pineapple
12:48 am
dcseain

::nods:: ananas means one or the other through parts of Latin America
12:48 am
jeanne314

Gonna get there! Then time for bed. I've got a rare morning meeting to wake up for. I dislike things that get in the way of Babble, like having to go to bed and that sort of thing.
12:49 am
sprite

ikr? I hate it when life or work gets between babble and me. So inconsiderate.
12:50 am
jeanne314

absolutely concur. My fault for volunteering though. Ah, it's only once a month. Small sacrifice.
12:51 am
sprite

I am fully willing to volunteer. I work for the telephone sos line and I help at school. But I refuse to do meetings. I hated them while working for pay. Not gonna torture myself anymore with them now that I no longer have to.
12:54 am
jeanne314

I'm such a ditz! Thanks to my complaining just now, I thought I'd check my e-mail....Meeting has been changed to FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!! I can play longer!!!!!!!!
12:54 am
dcseain

hooray!
12:54 am
sprite

oh wow! That is good news :)
12:55 am
sprite

ah lovely, the laughing fence is back
12:56 am
dcseain

:)
12:58 am
jeanne314

I volunteered for two things: This monthly meeting is our county's Veteran's office, and I'm a commissioner. Twenty years military (a whole lifetime ago, but hey, I still love my brothers and sisters in uniform!); the second was a care home for developmentally and/or psychologically disabled folks, until the state closed it down and moved everyone to other homes in the state. I had a stepbrother who used to live in such a facility, so I did that work as a tribute to him (he was also a veteran as well, so it served double-duty).
12:59 am
dcseain

what a mitzvah, Jeanne!
12:59 am
sprite

you rock!
12:59 am
mab

mitzvot
1:00 am
dcseain

properly declined in yiddish, yes.
1:00 am
jeanne314

Ho, ho! What is a laughing fence? And I think I'm about to learn a new word! Gotta go look it up.....
1:00 am
mab

yes, so great. Thanks for your service.
1:00 am
mab

hebrew, isn't is dc?
1:01 am
sprite

it is a babblet, it is in my profile list. A border marker, scots I believe. It sounds like a laugh.
1:01 am
dcseain

-ot for female, yes, Hebrew.
1:01 am
dcseain

my Hebrew is weak
1:02 am
mab

mine too. I'm thinking yiddish would be something like mitzvos
1:03 am
mab

naturally, the pl would be mitzvoses. ha ha ha ha, so annoying i am.
1:03 am
sprite

I am familiar with the spelling mitzvah or mitzwah, not with the other ones.
1:03 am
dcseain

not annoying :)
1:03 am
dcseain

I love learning.
1:04 am
jeanne314

Duh. I should have guessed. I love Yiddish, and I wish I knew more of it! For some reason my family's older members used A LOT of the common ones. We're not Jewish. But I have a few private guesses as to why (German emigres, some members from "further East," this from an ancient scrap of family papers. Always wondered if they were Russian Jews fleeing from pogroms or something. Most of the names kind of go with somewhat typical German Jewish names. Not one shred of proof. Hubby wants me to take a DNA test. Does it count if two Jewish oldsters said I had a Jewish soul, LOL!
1:04 am
sprite

not annoying at all. We are all language lovers here, it is interesting!
1:05 am
dcseain

I learned several years ago that the original form of my surname was Gutreich -- the left Friesland and moved to England.
1:05 am
jeanne314

My brother learned Hebrew. I will have to ask him about noun and verb construction! I never thought to ask him.
1:05 am
sprite

there is a lot of yiddish in the the dutch language. And I have read the Faye Kellerman series which gives an interesting peek into the jewish faith and culture.
1:05 am
dcseain

and my line then onto what would be the US
1:05 am
mab

fascinating jeanne. i think you have to be close to something. I'd be eager to check dna.
1:05 am
dcseain

neat, sprite.
1:06 am
jeanne314

Family histories are interesting. As one friend always says, we're all a little Jewish somewhere along the line.
1:06 am
gingentle

oy gevalt. I was made an honorary jew, as I was a chef for a jewish owned catering company and it was deemed I had suffered enough.
1:06 am
mab

i had no idea, sprite. so interesting.
1:07 am
dcseain

I did the dna thing. My y-chromosome is of the Northern European type, common in Iceland, British Isles, Netherlands, NW Germany and Scandinavia.
1:07 am
gingentle

definitely have dna done
1:07 am
mab

and thank you for your service, gingentle!
1:07 am
sprite

that is so cool, seain! Friesland is part of the Netherlands, we are practically family now (my grandfather was a full Fries, and I got some from the other side of the family as well, so I am more than 1/4 Fries myself. Maiden name is Elsinga)
1:07 am
dcseain

I learnt oy vey fer schimmel from a great-grandfather.
1:07 am
jeanne314

All of you have fun and interesting bits! I'm getting more encouraged to do the DNA testing. Anybody got a recommendation for the best one or type?
1:07 am
sprite

that is awesome, gingentle
1:08 am
dcseain

neat, sprite! My ancestors came from a Sepherad community there.
1:08 am
gingentle

i was Chef for nearly 20 years. I can cook kosher like nobody's biz and can stand up to the VAAD without waivering!
1:09 am
dcseain

if you want heritage, go with Ancestry. others for disease,
1:09 am
sprite

I love it when the chat becomes so engrossing I forget to babble!
1:09 am
dcseain

cool, gingentle
1:09 am
mab

and what does that mean, seain? the schimmel part?
1:10 am
dcseain

I think it means shit
1:10 am
sprite

schimmel can mean mold, or a white horse
1:10 am
dcseain

my mom's family use very 'colorful' language.
1:10 am
dcseain

oh, he was from NW Germany, so that could be.
1:11 am
jeanne314

gingentle, I rather feel that being named an honorary Jew is quite something to feel really good about -- you have been accepted as a loving soul! A Jewish friend from Russia said I reminded her of her childhood best friend. Turns out we have the same surname! And my actual surname is NOT Jewish!!! But it was somewhat common (probably more like not highly unusual) for Jews living around Odessa.
1:11 am
jeanne314

we were both just gobsmacked.
1:11 am
gingentle

one of the very traditional jewish things i perfected was answering a question with a question
1:12 am
gingentle

cool Jeanne
1:12 am
sprite

I am fascinated by this chat. And I agree, jeanne, seems to me to be a huge honour to be considered a honorary Jew.
1:12 am
jeanne314

Oh, lord, you guys, keep dishing out the Yiddish! I may just lurk for awhile (I always feel bad when I glut up the chog!)
1:12 am
dcseain

I met a distant cousin in High school -- her surname was my mother's maiden name.
1:12 am
mab

i do like 'nu?'
1:12 am
dcseain

nu? is so useful!
1:13 am
jeanne314

Nu, chto?
1:13 am
sprite

lol gingentle... that is something I still want to learn. I am so freakin' conditioned to answer every question. I am nearing 60 and finally starting to learn not to do that.
1:13 am
sprite

nu, and oy vey... so very very useful
1:13 am
mab

i tend to think of old men with the nu, but that's just my experience.
1:14 am
gingentle

Sprite, too much information you should not give..
1:14 am
gingentle

there are levels of oy.
1:14 am
dcseain

I found a na4/5 that my brain wants to be a Spanish verb in two forms.
1:14 am
gingentle

oy
1:14 am
gingentle

oy vey
1:14 am
dcseain

there are levels of oy, indeed!
1:14 am
sprite

so very true, gingentle.
1:14 am
gingentle

oy vey gevalt
1:14 am
mab

i use it - friendly start to conversation
1:15 am
gingentle

oy geshrigen
1:15 am
dcseain

oy gevalt also known
1:15 am
jeanne314

And for the rest of the lurkers, this whole Jewish/Yiddish convo has nothing to do (pro or con) with the current Israeli/Palestinian issue. Just the age-old connections of history and language. Just don't want anyone to find offense to take.
1:15 am
dcseain

agreed with jeanne
1:15 am
sprite

oh... indeed. Not related to that at all. Not politically coloured, just language oriented chat.
1:16 am
gingentle

the yiddish language is a mashup of hebraic and german
1:16 am
mab

a chasm between jewish and feelings about what's going on.
1:16 am
dcseain

that there is indeed, mab
1:16 am
jeanne314

and I think that's sort of how my family came by it...plus, lots of Amish in my area.
1:17 am
dcseain

lots of Amish near my dad's family in central Ohio too.
1:17 am
mab

room for most opinions for me. well, actually...
1:17 am
dcseain

I visit Pennsylvania Amish country now and again.
1:17 am
jeanne314

"Love one another."
1:17 am
dcseain

we do our best here among us we do!
1:18 am
gingentle

this reminds me to place an order with an Amish store in Illinois for green tomato relish
1:18 am
dcseain

I miss being able to buy green tomatoes in the store to make fried green tomatoes with.
1:18 am
jeanne314

dcseain -- Okay. You're close to home. I'm from Muskingum County. Parents from Oil City, Pennsylvania.
1:18 am
mab

i'll likely always stand with israel, but not it's actions and certainly not bb.
1:18 am
dcseain

I love the corneal covered fried green tomatoes with a red pepper coulis.
1:19 am
gingentle

you can find them at some farmers markets
1:19 am
dcseain

bb the politician is a monster. I have much respect for him the academic, but ugh the politician.
1:19 am
dcseain

oh, good point re farmers market.
1:20 am
mab

corrupt to the core. but enough.
1:20 am
jeanne314

dcseain -- did you see my origin location from 1:18?????
1:20 am
gingentle

dc, I am disabled and can never motivate myself to go to farmers mkt. I hate crowds
1:20 am
sprite

politics and politicians.... NOT my cup of tea. Too many lies. Too much abuse of power.
1:21 am
dcseain

oh! my dad's people live in Licking County and Maskingum County.
1:21 am
gingentle

sprite, esp when the politicans are orange
1:21 am
sprite

I hear you, gingentle. It is a blessing that nowadays many things can be ordered online.
1:21 am
mab

and stand with orban
1:21 am
dcseain

my dad grew up in Gratiot and Hopewell.
1:22 am
jeanne314

Holy moly!!!!! I grew up right in the crux of Muskingum, Guernsy and Coshocton counties, just south of Wills Creek!!!
1:22 am
jeanne314

You've got the mounds, right?
1:22 am
sprite

it is a small, small world
1:22 am
jeanne314

Indeed!
1:22 am
dcseain

I'm of Drums and Gutridges from Hopewell.

This is pretty darn neat. Glad to speak with you. I've seen you on here for, like, forever! This is the most I've EVER posted! I do love this community, though.

1:26 am
dcseain

I'm always glad to see people in this chat. Solid community.
1:26 am
jeanne314

Ah, thank you all. But I'm sure some just want to see clues and stats and hate leafing through the "non-essential" chatter. Hence, the apology.
1:27 am
sprite

it is. Great people, lovely minds.
1:27 am
dcseain

we used to chat with each other a lot. It's nice when that happens.
1:27 am

1:28 am

well wild may be overstating. fun.
1:28 am

it always amazes me when posting un-asked-for clues is more more important than answering a friendly greeting. Am so happy when the chat is back to its old fun standards :)
1:29 am

1:32 am

a lonnnnng time ago I used to play just before the flip. It was fun clueing to help people race to fireworks before the flip, then start the new grid together without giving away the biggies. But nowadays, I wa4 till a little later and try to ignore the clues.'
