minus-squareselkiesidhe@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·4 days agoMy mom used to say “been ____-ing looong?” with a silly twang. No idea where she got that from and I’ve never heard anyone else do it. Like, if you trip she’d say been walkin’ looong? If you choke on your soda, she’d say been drinkin’ looong? Some kind of weird hick thing, I’m sure.
minus-square2piradians@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 days agoI remember a similar one from the 90s. If someone stumbled someone else inevitably would say “walk much?”. Or with a traffic mistake “drive much?”. It evolved into just anything that came into someone’s head, like if someone had a premonition “Nostradamus much?” I’m glad it died.

I remember this.
Also, me too.
