Dinner: 5:15 at Applebees with my 65 year old customer. Let me guess–we are going to have half price appetizers and share a 2 for $20?
Atlantaisms:
“They be up in your biznass tomorrow” translation “We is coming in tomorrow to review your business processes.” (This was the plant manager telling his employee we were coming in tomorrow)
“I didn’t mean to put ya on BLAST” translation “I didn’t mean to shout out whatever embarrassing thing you were doing at the time. (The waitress, after she caught me dipping my bread in blue cheese dressing). so the entire restaurant had to look at me when she yelled “I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO THAT”
“Get your drink on”. translation “The plant doesn’t work on Fridays because everyone needs to start drinking for the weekend (aka Thursday night).” (The shipping supervisor)
