Btw, anybody who only knows this film in the german synchronization, try to watch it in the original version --- as always, it loses so much being translated ... OK, the southern slang is probably a bit hard to understand, and some of the terms aren't necessarily easy to get if you don't know 'em, but it's worth the trouble ...

(Translation: Garry, honey, what do you mean that Southern slang is harder to understand? Have you ever had Southern food? That's the stuff I really don't understand: Hog jowls, black-eyed peas, collard greens, ham hocks...No thank you.)

While I'm not necessarily too much around them southerners, _I_ don't have too much of a problem with it - nor with most of the southern food (you can throw them nice fried catfish at me anytime ... :) can't get 'em except while being on leave :(). I meant it might be hard for non-native speakers to understand ...

I have found that there is a problem here in Germany. When I go out and try out my German on someone, the Germans try their English out on me. So, I am sure it is a hoot to listen to, but it is hard me to concentrait. A few beers helps with German also, but it helps with so many things. Mmmmm beer.

Post subject:  hello everybody!!

for the most part i have been told that my german is good with no slang or dialect at all with the german that i know and told by some others that my vocabulary was weird.

a big problem here is that there are so many different local slangs and dialects, from northern germany to southern germany from town to town. even though what i say is basically high german local people know local german.

i saw smokey and the bandit when it first came out. the movie was and is still great.

another movie is "THE GUMBALL RALLY" . this came out around that same time and is killer too.

the translations tend to be a problem sometimes.
