Here cats say Meow.
When dogs bark they say can say, "wuff wuff" or "arf arf" or "bow wow." Dogs seem to have a bigger English vocabulary than cats, it seems.
I found it interesting that in French (I think it was French??) when something tastes good kids say mium mium and in English it's yummy yummy. It sounds like the same thing backwards. |

I see London, I see France
I see (whoever's) underpants
Did you add on
Not too big, not too small
Just the size of Cobo Hall ?
I was just realizing how regional that part is, and wondered how widespread it was in Michigan.
Heck yes, I sure did! That is awesome that you know that part of the rhyme too!!!! :D
Your lovely neighbours to the north say...
Not to big, not to small, just the size of Montreal.
Although I think that actually goes with Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. Not too big, not too small, just the size of montreal.
I think London, France, Underpants stands on it's own.
I also just sent my friend a postcard that said London, France, Underpants with a pic of Big Ben, The Eifle Tower and a dude in his undies. She is in Korea for the summer. I hope the Koreans dont take offence.
Hmmm...we say: "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. If you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underware." :P
oh ya, that one is kicking around here too. |

My boss refers to "Mandals" as sandals for guys. I guess he doesn't think guys should wear them?? I dunno, sandals on guys don't bug me as long as they don't wear socks with 'em! lol! But flip flops on guys kinda freak me out. It's too girly I think. Unless you're at a beach.
what the hell ? flip flops are uber manly |

well we simply say "hmmmm" . "hmmmm" refers to other things to: when you think of stg again you say "hmmmm". When you get angry you can still say "hmmmm" . Basic Turkish:) |

I guess it shows that when we are thinking, or our mind wonders and we start thinking about food, forgetting what we were thinking about in the first place... |

This is my suggestion for the guy wearing flip flops in mozman's thread:
and I said earlier that I hate especially white socks in sandals. I've just found out that black ones are worse:
