There are people in the Portland suburbs who swear itâs true, that Portland is a burned-up shell with homeless people living everywhere and roving gangs of antifa. Nevermind that they can travel a few miles from home and see for themselves - Portland is a thriving, vibrant city - much less listen to people who actually go there from their own neighborhood.
I donât know what reaction emoji I should use: 
, 
(theyâre nuts vs they have the right to believe in Trump, I guess?)
Sigh. I wish we had a sigh emoji, something more than 
I was hearing the same thing about Los Angeles, & then we traveled there three weeks ago. And itâs true, the crime was out of control, & I was killed! Now Iâm dead. Iâm dead!!
(One of those sentences is the truth. Also true: we dug it.)
In Minnesota, thatâs pronounced âoof daâ.
Yet the description of Trump as dour is as incomplete
You have to use the Scots pronunciation of dour, where the u only hints of the deep gelatinous manky depths
Iâd be happy if he populated Mars by just 1.
Trumpâs mother was Scottish, and perhaps very dour.
As a parent, MacLeod was more reserved than her husband.
She wasnât a citizen until 1942? How many anchor babies did she have before that?
Anyone married into that nest of vipers and ticks would be pretty damned dour. Melania pretty much defines the term, and her ethical status is pretty iffy as well.
So - is Trump German or Scottish? And when did he choose that?
I had to look that up! I donât think that uff da ever made it over to my area of the upper west side. It wasnât part of my vocab growing up, anyway. What I just read suggested itâs sort of a âoh for Peteâs sakeâ expression rather than âwhoops, sorryâ, though. Do you use them interchangeably?
I demand to see his long-form birth certificate!
Sorta? Is ope only used in place dâoh? Ope wasnât a thing in MN when I was growing up, I donât quite grok every situation in which it can be used. [I donât think itâs a thing in SE MI, either, I never heard of the term before a few years ago from the interwebz.]
Hm. I tend to say ope in place of whoops and it usually precedes sorry. Or in place of ah well, preceding whatcha gonna do? So thereâs some flexibility with it. It could definitely replace dâoh, too.
