Subject:      Cincinnati dialect: Update
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

I found myself unable to wait for that uncertain day when I would run
across the word or words in AHD3 which are labeled Cincinnati dialect,
so I called Houghton Mifflin.  I wasn't in the office to receive the
return call, but the message was that the one and only term in the new
dictionary that qualifies as Cincinnati dialect is --

-- the envelope, please --

<5-way chili>.

My copy is at home so I won't be able to check particulars until
tonight.  Someone (was it Neal?) suggested Skyline chili (a brand
name) when I posed this question originally, so he was on the right
track.

The five "ways" (i.e., ingredients): spaghetti, meat sauce, beans,
shredded cheese, and chopped onions, if memory serves.  3-way and
4-way are also possible combinations.

I guess you'll have to and retrieve the big one from the ftp space and

Yup.  Another good place to give them (after inquiring FIRST to see if they
want them) for many mags is a local school/preschool/daycare place....NOT
for their library, but for them to use to cut up for art projects,
and stuff like that.  "womens magazines" are often especially good for that
since they show stuff that little kids know about....like food and clothes...

Well, if you want the definitive how-to book of the Inquisition, get a
copy of the Malleus Maleficarum, by Kramer and Sprenger, translated by the
Reverend Montague Summers.  It tells you all about how to find out if
someone's a witch and what ways are the best for torturing them and
getting confessions out of them and how not to be fooled by tears because
witches don't cry and if the torture victim cries it's because the Devil
is helping them craft that illusion and... well, you get the idea.

Pages upon pages of fun reading... it's published by Dover Books.

Actually, Tushar and Ken, this is not an attempt at a new twist to anything.
Gilbert, coming from the same generation and regional background, will

Nope.  And I haven't celebrated any of these yet.  But I have undergone
other rituals that I deemed as important. As a poor graduate student, I
couldn't get anyone, not even my MOTHER, to give me a blender.  The
assumption is that you get one when you get married.  Some friends took
