Seems to me that I recall there are frequently alcoholic beverages available at some events.

I once had an engineer that when it was lunch time always said "Lets Squeet!" (lets go eat)

George "double ya" famously pronounced "Australia", "Arse Trailer"...
and he's not the only one to mispronounce "Nuclear" Noo Ku Lar.

Question on Reddit: What does it mean to "Starch your engines."

At first glance, this looks like a ridiculous question. However, think about how people talk. "Geet yet?" That's how we generally ask, "Did you eat yet?" So, at the start of the Indy 500, it could sound like, "Startger engines," which sounds like, "Starch your engines." We tend to force words together, and people know what we mean.


When I live in Kentucky, I heard that stuff a lot...

Jeet yet?

Naw jew?

Naw, jont to?

Sure.

I'm just glad English is the language I learned from the crib going forward. I would hate to have to learn it as a second language and I admire people who do so.

Geet yet is a shortened version of squeet for "lets go eat"

I know what you mean... but it's better to laugh at them than let
them raise your blood pressure Dan
