The Foot Feed: AKA the accelerator, and other strange words

[greekspeak]

I always got tickled at things my late grandmother used to say. As I mentioned in an earlier post, she called her stylist a "beauty operator." But she also called a car's accelerator the "foot feed." She was about the prissiest person you ever would meet, and she would fuss that "I got dirt all over my new shoes from the foot feed."

It was also from her and her sister Goldie that I learned a boner was not just an erect male penis. Goldie left a note with my grandmother, under her door, one day about some person they were arguing about. Goldie was wrong and said that she must have "pulled a boner." I was about 12 at the time. They did not understand why I was laughing. Of course, they went to a Chiropractor named Dr. Boner. Now I am laughing again. Arlee Boner. Lord.

Anyone else have a granny like this, with colorful vocabulary?

1. My grandmother was the same way...

She used to call it the "Foot Feed" as well. She drove with both feet on the pedals too. One foot on the brake and one foot on the foot feed. :rofl:

2. Mine too

I have tried that and I just stop the car really fast.
