For some reason, I am picture Tiny Pams as in True Blood Pam, with her not-tiny attitude.
smonster, stop it with the interesting injuries.
I am going to do my best to stick to boring old "no, I have no idea how I got this bruise."
Dialect note: my boss, who is from Baton Rouge IIRC, repeatedly said he was going to "jump off my car" instead of "jump my car." Don't know if that's just an error he makes, or a thing. My other coworker says he's going to "go to the bathrooms" and when I commented, claimed that everyone from here says it. Evolved from "les toilettes," maybe? I've also heard "go by" instead of "go to." As in, "I'm going to go by my mama." I should see if I can find a good book on the various dialects here.
Oh what fresh hell is that, David?

That is a creation of the Devil himself, yo.
Hec, I'll give you the wind scorpions (another name for the same thing don't google) but I"d take most Jillifonts over rats.

Ditto. I'd take most

Go by my mama's is certainly a local dialect thing. I haven't heard the others.
A NOLA, born and bred, friend uses 'go by' all the time.
I find it charming.
bonny, FFS, you waited a day to pry it loose?! Girl, I would have been in the ER at light speed. Yes, arriving before the injury even happened.
Zen, you have no idea the metric tonne of crap I got for that decision. I just did not want the ring to
be cut off
. You know? I contend that shock was a contributing factor. Still, no stress, no strain. All limbs intact.
