Thank you, Father, appreciate that. I understand the genetic thing from being a Chicago Cubs fan. My dad is from Chicago and a die hard Cubs fan so it was bred unto me since birth.

There are many arcane subtleties at play. When I was a little boy, my parents used to tell me they could easily tell someone from Horden from someone from Murton and someone from their native Easington. These were 3 pit villages within a few miles of one another. Trump, upon hearing this, thinks: wow, my sort of place, they'll love me. It's an interesting thought, not just because I made it up, but because if it were possible to recreate that time & place and transplant him into it, in all his self-aggrandised vainglory, he wouldn't have got half way down Seaside Lane before he was torn limb from limb.

What's the etymology behind the phrase? Just curious.

I absolutely love that:lol:

I'm learning a lot from a lot of people which is fun. I enjoy obtaining new knowledge of any kind, but in particular the various speech that people use around the world. I guess because growing up I listening to a Filipino-English jargon specific and exclusive to Filipinos here in the States.

I live in Hartlepool. Until 1977 it was and had always been a major town in County Durham. It’s work was shipbuilding,steelworks and it was famous for hanging the monkey.
In 1977 it was merged into Cleveland County and it’s fortunes took a dive. There is no work there at all. No facilities either.
Anyway the point of this post is to tell you that people in Hartlepool talk totally different to people from Blackhall which is about a mile away from the northern point of Hartlepool. We might as well be from Mars and they might as well be from Uranus.😉
