Psst.. cherry, I like Goldfrapp!

I have not heard of plodding in that way lol

Calling someone a yankee can be offensive, I suppose, depending on the tone =p Most people who say it to me say it in a playful way, "OH, you're a YANKEE!?!?" ;-)

But technically the term refers to a lowlander. So it really refers to a southern scot.

But how about those MLB Yankees?

The most successful sports team in the total history of sports.

They have redefined the term to one of unbridled success.

I wore a Yankees cap in Paris once and people stopped me to tell me they were also Yankee fans. For real!

The Yankees have had the highest payroll for years, so they can buy nearly anyone they want. Money can't buy me love. I detest the Yankees. I hope that you're not gobsmacked by that, Michelle.

See how I got us back into UKisms? I also snuck a song in.

Right on Jen.

I'm familiar with them, having traveled to NY umpteen times.

My dad has relatives there also.

I've been to Fordham UI, and Columbia.

Yes MLB does have salary caps like the NFL, so NY can by whomever.

Still, they have had some of the greatest coached, and players.

The fact that Boston let Ruth go to NY has marked them for life.

Peace!

Ok thx MUP
I do like Callie better.
Am I allowed to use her name, or just the BB thing.
She sounds like a friend of y'll so sometimes, you know.

My username came from my name on a online game i play, everyone there knows me as Bea, or BB it actually became one of my nicknames although it has no relevance to my actual name which yes is Callie.

Michelle, you can call me whatever you want, within reason, i really dont mind

and PS not a personal friend of the ladies here, most just remember me from the old forum site, although, im much more chatty now on the new one
