Danscray on the gramscray

Can you all tell that from the title that I have NO IDEA what Pig Latin is? How to use it and what it's use in the spoken language is? The title is exactly what I hear when people talk in Pig Latin. Like kids when their parents are going on at them they hear Blah blah blah. I hear what I put in the title whenever Pig Latin is spoken.

Seriously, when I first heard it on a TV show (probably Friends or something) the person saying it was trying to not let someone around them understand - well, I didn't understand never mind the intended individual.

I have a mind set that if it's difficult to understand then I'm not going to learn it. Especially when it doesn't even have meaning. Either that or I'm just thick as two short planks and I'd prefer it to be the former thank you very much! (I'm the same way with math too!)

So I'm sorry to all those people out there that that can speak Pig Latin fluently - I'm lost in a fog when you speak it.

(Mind you, all the people I know who want to talk about me will talk incessantly like this now !)

Anyway, I've got catching up to do on Blog Explosion - been reading loads of good blogs for a change and will be linking some in on the right soon.

On a last note, Ms Mac is back! Yeah!

Hi popped in from BE, I remember pig Latin from those turbulent junior high days (oh 20 years ago or so). Nothing difficult, move the first consonants to the end of the word and add "ay". Silly eh (or illySay ehay)?

I always ACTED like I could understand pig latin. But, like you, I am clueless.
