Depending on the region, of course.

I was thinking about the same thing because I don't think we have this in English.

I made a few... "AY gat en ey in İngliş. İtz en izzi mistayke tu mayke. Dis iz en aydır/or kuesçın." LOL

At least we can say Asia without making an R sound!  :P

I've literally never heard anyone talk like that. New York?

IDK.  Boston?  Southern?

In NC, it is incredibly common to hear words with shortened pronunciation or blurred together, so "more or less" really does sound like "mor'rless"

had a = hadda
butter = buddr
cookie = kuki (I swear, there's a definite U sound for that around here)
getting ready to = finna
hurricane = hurikan
governor = guhvanur
camouflage = camuhflagh

Basically, the "uh" sound is waay more common locally than it would be in formal english.

Christians Against Dinosaurs. Is it me or being 'against' something or rather the use of the word 'against' here in this context, actually suggests that you accept dinosaurs as a part of reality but you are just, you know, don't want them to be all that because you don't like it?

Okay, but now I am actually curious how some of them did get it on and I'm picturing a lot more than I bargained for.

Being related to hundreds of these idiots* helps me decode what they're saying. In this case it's the lazy factor. "Christians against the belief in dinosaurs" is just too long to go on a bumper sticker.

*Some of them protested at an exhibition of "phony dinosaur bones" a few years back. The exhibit was entirely extinct mammals that lived in Arkansas.

Oh thanks for that, that made my day.

The family Facebook page is hilarious. And, sadly, private.

I mean...porcupines, elephants, rhinos, and alligators get it on all the time (probably right this second somewhere) and that's equally puzzling, so I'm not losing sleep over dino mating.

If eagles can fuck while in flight and screaming towards the ground to certain death, I am certain dinosaurs can figure out a way.
