a "loodle-laddle" - according to the dictionary of Newfoundland English it is "a contraption - a deliberately humorous or evasive name given to an object in order to puzzle a child". As a kid, when I asked my father about something he was working with, he said it was a loodle-laddle... a machine for pumping piss out of dead cats.

"Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" A brass monkey is the brass plate on which cannon balls were stored on a ship. When it gets really cold the cannon balls get smaller, and no longer stack so neatly, and the neat pyramid of balls collapse... rolling off the brass monkey.

Just wondering, I've read many of the sayings 'want me to comes where you to or goes where you at' but also 'want me to come where you're at or go where to?' Do both really mean the same or are some of the people confused? I'm pretty sure it's the latter saying.
"Wanna go for a gargle at the pisser?" Go for a drink at the bar.
Also, anybody know any other exasperated 'jesus!' sayings besides "Lord lamplighting jesus!" "Holy one-eyed German jesus!"
Love the page. Stay well!

This is a very common one, that I did not see posted yet:
"Whattaya like at all?", said to a person acting strangely.
Also, "Buddy" is universal to refer to a man whose name is not mentioned or relevant. For a woman, the comparable term would be "Missus" or "Missy", depending on her age and apparent marital status. As in "So den, Missus sez to Buddy `Waddaya like at all?'"

There was an American, an asian and a newfoundlander. they were hiking in the woods and came across a tribe of canables. they were to be eaten by the canables, at dawn when the asian came up with an idea. "if we can put ten pieces of fruit up your ass' without making any sort of sound you will not eat us." so the tribe leader agreed. The asian went out and got 10 oranges and got to the 9th one and screamed oh he was eaten. then the American went out and got 10 blueberries and got to the 9th one and started to laugh, so he was eaten. A few days later the American came across the asian in heaven. so they started to talk about what had happed a few days ago and asked why they made a noise, so the asian repiled that it hurt to much and then asked the amerian why he had laughed. "You were so close and had it real easy." he said. and the american repiled "You would of laughed to if you seen the Newfie coming with 10 pinapples."

I live in Fort Worth Texas. I was married to Joey Smallwood's granddaughter and visited Newfoundland many times. One expression I found amusing and used by the Smallwood family often is the term Baywop referring to anyone who lives in a small bay town.
