"betcherbritches" -- rural Texan

Yeahhh ... Brooklynese.

Yup! .... Virginian

In Korean, it sounds like "ni", what are you using to embroider them?
Can you use non roman characters? If you can't, will you stick to
languages that use them? I can probably locate "ni" in Korean characters
somewhere online and if not I can scan them.

Thanks for all the help and the funny ones.
I'll probably use some of the 'slang' ones, though
betcherbritches is a bit long :-) And this means really yes ??
I'll post pictures when I finished it.

I'll embroider it by hand, you can see the question to the answer
'yes' on my page:
If you like go to

then WIPS, then doubleclick on the elk-quilt and scroll down :-)

Heidi, if you take betcherbritches apart, it's really "bet your
britches" and britches is a slang word for pants/slacks or
panties/underwear. In this instance, the britches usually means
underwear -- using the phrase in a conversation would go something like.....
Person A: "Are you going to the quilt show?"
Person B: "You bet your britches I'll be there!"
Of course in conversation, the words in the phrase would be spoken
quickly and would sound like one long word -- betcherbritches. English
is a strange and mystifying language -- what more can a person
say?!?!?!? LOLOL!! CiaoMeow ^;;^

Thanks Tia Mary, now I see :-))
I think we have a similar word for panties in German, sounds like
britches, but it's not used anymore.

learning a perfect english here ;-))
