YSaC, Vol. 639: Hyundai syunshine…
lost_compass has sent in the following ads, he says, “in the spirit of fuseball and ottom.” I think I’m going to classify this under “foreign words are hard, y’all!”. I might actually need to start a tag for that.

Are they automatico mints?

I just wanna run around and yell “MINTY!! MINTY!! MINTY!!!”
Nice to see you’ve come out of your shell.
Hun Day is a little known holiday celebrated in Hungerford, England, commemorating the day the Huns crossed the river. I may be making this up. I haven’t had any coffee yet, and I’m on my way back to bed zzzzzz
Actually, if you’re from Baltimore, “Hon Day” is a real thing. There’s a HonFest, a Hon parade, and the crowning of Ms. Hon. It’s put on by Cafe Hon, as a reference to the old beehive hairdo, cat eye glasses culture that used to be part of the city. Think “Hairspray” before Hollywood got a hold of it.
(yes, I do know the spelling is different)
I’m from Bawlmer. Yew goin’ downy achean this summer, hon?
The accent’s a little different,* but Phila. and environs say “going down the shore.”
*I can recognize it but for some reason cannot imitate or render the “Fluffia” accent in print very well.
I’m from Philly (suburbs) and I had a co-worker who had a phone call from someone who sold “wooder ice” and had to come to me for translation.
Ha, ???, I’ll take mine in lemon, or cherry, depending on what they have.
What I always found strange there was that it was ice made from juice or water and flavor and sugar, or whatever, but it was always called “water ice” regardless of flavor. I thought that was what I made at home in my freezer.
The guy who sold “wooder ices” outside my junior high school had four flavors – lemon, grape, cherry, and blue. Blue was my favorite.
Have I told this story before?
Holy crap, the ostrimu is from Baltimore? I know it’s a city of around a million people, but is there any chance I know you?
Also, a friend of mine from Baltimore grew up thinking that “bofadem” was a word that meant “this thing AND that other thing”.
Hyundia is an Iranian town near Azerbaijan. The Muslim Arab horse armies and the Mongol hordes fought each other to a stalemate there so they split it down the middle.
A
catfightbattle between Arab horse and Mongol hordes – now that I’d pay to see. Especially if they’re mine hordes.[monster truck ralley announcer voice] HUN DAY!!!! HUN DAY!!!! HUN DAY!!!!!!![/mtrav]
I know this is likely a very, very awkward place to say this, but… you have Hyacinth Bucket (and I *know* that’s *got* to be how she spells her name, because everyone pronounces it such) in your avatar, and I think that is the most epic thing I’ve ever seen. Well, apart from the YSaCer with Deadpool. Just think: you tie for awesome with Deadpool!
Classic examples of the Hyundi accent of the Hyundia tribe of northwestern East Ish. These simple people are known for their reverence of affordable transportation. The hills surrounding East Ish often ring with their primitive yet stirring chants to the wonders of Dual Front Air Bags and the Transmition of the Censor, and they often speak in whispers about the dreaded Hacthback of Hyundia.
They also teach their children the importance of a well kept EMAIL.
SJ, I should just punch you now and take tomorrow off. elebenty times elebenty!!1!!!1
HUYNDAY! HUYNDAY! HUYNDAY!
It’s what Thursday gets re-named to, after we stop calling our days after Norse gods, and start naming them after early astronomers and physicists?
Nah, I got nothing.
It’s good to know the first car is a non smoker. I’ve had a few smoker cars in my day and I have to tell you, it’s damned inconvenient to suddenly turn into a mini mart so the car can grab a carton of Marbs. Especially when you’re running late.
I’ve found that the patch works pretty well for smoker cars. Although after a couple of weeks it does have a tendency to make the paint job start peeling.
I’d avoid putting Chantix in the gas tank. Too many stories about SUVs driving themselves off cliffs.
Think I’ll trade in my ’97 Hando for the Sanata. I mean, if it is good enough for Mr. Claus, it ought to be great for me.
I’ve been looking for a “parting out.”
The search is over. It was with me all the while.
First ad: In addition to “Hyundia”, there’s also “HACTHBACK” (twice!), “MICHILLIEN”, and it offers a “Well kept EMAIL or TXT”, and the second ad, “transmition censor”…
Yup. There’s all kinds of speeling prolbems.
I have well-kept email dating back to ’98; but, I’m an over-organized person that way.
Really? I suffer from Organization Deficit Disorder. It’s probably related to my ADHD. Seriously, if you saw my school binder, or perhaps my My Documents folder, you might just keel over from the sheer disorganization. That, or see it as a work of modern art juxtaposing the natural order of a binder/computer folder with the chaos of a nuclear war zone.
Well, I get to see far too much computer disorganization as is; competitive chaos is something I’m bit beyond if only from battle fatigue.
Or in needing minions to cobble mini-aps and ‘bots to laager the chaos to some degree (or rewriting the Start & programs menus based on operator log-in; Out of their sight, out of their minds, as one of my NCO says).
I’m just relieved that it’s only ever been “adult driven.” I hate getting a used vehicle that has pacifiers, diaper pins (does anyone actually still use those?), and the odd can of formula rattling around under the seats. Dang baby drivers.
That’s bad, Lola, but it’s so convenient when you can send the baby to the store for formula and diapers. Unfortunately, baby drivers have a tendency to shout rude things in gibberish and drag race any car with a Baby On Board sign in the window.
Most baby drivers will do okay on a formula race car.
Sort of Corey and sort of OT, but you have just reminded me that I never did read “Baby Driver” by Jan Kerouac.
Back on topic, is a baby driver like a Minnie Driver?
I think they’re called mine drivers. You sometimes find them in the same areas as mine hors.
I’m more worried that “adult driven” might suggest involvement in either prOn or stalking activities (even more since the badging is not present for speelin rite; so it could be a “black bmw” . . . )
Lola: I used cloth diapers with my daughter, and yes, I did use flat diapers and diaper pins, but also pocket diapers, and all-in-ones. I actually learned how to sew them myself, but by that time my daughter was nearly done potty training, so I never did get to make her any.
Lola – the modern replacement for diaper pins is “Snappis.”
Well of course it’s only “adult driven”! It needs a transmition censor.
I’m just wondering if the Doublemint car also comes in Spearmint, or maybe Watermelon twist.
Double your pleasure, double your Hun-day!
Can I get my Doublemint Hunday with a cheery on top?
I’m struggling for snark today for some reason.
Hubby on the other hand is simply laughing his ass off at today’s examples of speeling.
This Just In! drmk and Dan find new way to finance YSaC:

Genius.
The third one from the right does bear a resemblance to our beloved Llamanun, bees be upon her.
So. Tempted.
This makes my genius business plan of having naked girls assemble IKEA furniture look downright silly by comparison.
I am ready to invest in this business plan.
I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I would like to head up your HR department.
Why stop at IKEA furniture? How about French Preventional stuff, and maybe you could sell videos of them making cars minty?
l_c, “head up.” hurhurhur.
drmk, I think you just came up with a foolproof way to find out which commenters are men.
Also, will there be a freight department with big, strong guys to help carry all those boxes with the same (lack of) dress code? ‘Cause I would totally endorse that.
Heavy boxes? That’s what two-wheeled dollies are for.
Being pushed by two-legged dollies.
I will assist in managing your freight department, should you choose to staff it according to Sarajean’s suggestion.
Quite correct, “toyota” is clearly the wrong thing to paint on this vehicle.
“Suzuki” is far more apt, for being “sea bass” and “Chilean” being the over-used fish in question . . .
I wonder if any of these Hyondias come in French Preventional.
Thanks Isaac, just snorked soda all over my monitor.
French Preventional interior Hyondias? Sounds kind of classy, but talk about the work it’d take to pull it off:
– Designing a French Preventional Dashboard.
– Finding appropriate cloth to upholster the seats (French Preventional doesn’t sound like a leather style.)
– Designing the steering wheel – can’t just use the old one!
…and many more things to do, too many to list.
I’m imagining a steering wheel that looks like those overdone FP telephones from the ’70s, only a little more round … don’t ask. As someone (Sarajean?) said on here the other day, “Sometimes my head’s a weird place to be.”
Guilty. And it is.
Eccentric_Lady: “Finding appropriate cloth to upholster the seats”
Don’t you mean apolster?
No.
But if it were black and driven by a Francophone who posts Missed Connections ads about the girls he sees on the street, it would be French Pervential.
I think the Hyundia is when a Hyundai and a Kia mate. Or, are involved in a terrible accident.*
I was given a Hyundai Accent when I picked up my rental car this afternoon in San Diego. The timing is uncanny.
*These two may not be mutually exclusive.
Now that you have the Hyundai accent, do you have trouble pronouncing diphthonged vowels in the right order?
Shones Mönch, pray, can we be so exclusive as to only speculate on the the diphthonged vowels?
Seems especially inapt given oriental practice to form very specific consonant-vowel diphthongs.
But, that could be polyglottal [corey] couldn’t it?
I was just referring to the pronunciations that seem to be lurking behind the misspellings. I have no doubt that the Koreans can pronounce “Hyundai” like champs.
Aww gee, I could have had the Hyundia, but e-mail is overflowing with junk messages. Not well-kept at all.
“Transmission censor” brings up the image of someone sitting in the backseat telling me which gears I may and may not go into.
Well, I was sore afraid it burned incense as well as hydraulic fluid, but only on high occasions with fancy mint vestments for the shell.
The corey is strong with this one.
Is this comment lost?
And, is there a reward for finding it?
Irregular Fractal, your winning comment brought back fun memories for me. Punchity Punch Punch!
I used to have a Hunday accent. Until the Sisters beat it out of me. Bitches.
Oh, for the love of Pete, will these people just get off their lazy butts, go look in the driveway and get the correct spelling?!?! It’s right there on the car in about 5 places! Holy Hyundai Batman!
Yes, but can they remember it from the driveway to the computer? They can type*, but can they *write*?
*May not actually be true
