DSOTM x 8 - Dinner Bites Diner!

I still say drugs are good.

I always thought Bob Geldof was f**king hot, so...

Anyway, I never should have started reading this. I'm getting all these ideas. Things to put on my to do list, if you will.

Redd is a Pennsylvania Dutch (who are actually of German, not Dutch, descent) term meaning to clean or clear. Instead of saying clear off the table, we say redd off the table. Instead of clean your room, redd up your room.

Anymore questions.

Yeah, I've got just one more for you, NNJ. And you can just ignore all the other scheisse questions from those other two jokers.

If it is a well known or generally acknowledged fact that "Pennsylvania Dutch" folk are actually of German descent, why are they then still called "Pennsylvania Dutch?"

Because the German word for German is Deutsch. When the first germans emmigrated they would say they were Deutsch. The Anglos, who were already here for at least 100 years, mistakenly thought they were saying they were Dutch, thus the myth that Central Pennsylvania is inhabited by Holland's descendants.

I think he refers to the confusion that led to the naming of American natives "Indians".
