"He's some hard ticket. We sprung a leak in the boat, and had to hug the shoreline, but that harbour tom cod wouldn't even sit down, I had a like to hove him over board and teach him a lesson."

Had a like to - almost.
Harbour tom cod - an immature codfish.
Hard ticket - a hard case or impish person.
Hove - {rhymes with stove} - threw or tossed
Hug - stay close to the shoreline.
I had hove nd hug. I like hard ticket. I think that's my grandson.

L'Aussie Travel A-Z Challenge. H is for Haiti, I is for Ibiza
I like how you develop the letters of this challenge.
ReplyDeleteVery fun way to do the challenge and we're all getting an education of interesting words. :) I will check back to see what other interesting words are coming! Beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! I love your take on the a-z challenge.
ReplyDeleteCame from away to visit yer blog after you visited mine (sudden alarm of donkeys) way over on the other coast.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd return the favour and glad I did. It's nice to have a wee refresher on Newf-speech; I tend to think of it of as similar Franglais in that it is one of the country's unofficial languages most of us speak or at least understand when we hear it...
I'm enjoying your posts, girl, keep 'em comin...

Stopping by as part of the A to Z Challenge. Impressive use of the letter "H"!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard "hard case" since I left Dublin - it was fun to see it being used to explain "hard ticket".
ReplyDeleteThanks for the excursion into the Newfoundland alphabet, and a great "H" entry.
This is such a creative post for the letter H! I'll have to use some of these and baffle those I'm talking to, lol. Thanks for the new lingo!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to use some of these words. My family already thinks I'm crazy...
