I'm not weird. I'm just misunderstood.

I thought the same thing for both, although in my mind I moved the s after luv so I thought it said luvstocrap. ;)

It took me quite a while to parse DGPhoney as DGP honey and not DG Phoney!

Scrap means the same thing here. OTW, you live in a black neighborhood, don't you? ;)



Uh oh, can I get away with that? :eek: lol

LOL, I grew up in a predominantly Samoan neighborhood as a kid. Chris Fuamatu-Maafala lived two doors away from me.

And I'm so not kidding.

HAHAHAHAHA....

I've heard it everywhere I've lived.

No one else has heard a person who's especially tough and sassy referred to as "scrappy"?

You realize, of course, that you are in an elite GC sector who can pronounce Chris' name, don't you? ;)

Hint: His last name has a similar rhythm to "Deck The Halls"!

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

I seriously thought the crowd was booing his first few games. I was like WTF, he just pulled off an awesome play at a home game, what the hell is wrong with you people.

lol

"Scrap" means the same thing here and I grew up in a middle-class white neighborhood, so who knows? I thought it was universal, actually . . .

Ditto on hearing scrap used that way. Not too common, but I've heard it.

When someone is described as "scrappy", I think of some little though guy- you know, some guy with SMS (short man syndrome)

I remember watching his first ever NFL game on TV and I thought the exact same thing.

Chris and his 10 brothers and sisters (Samoans are notorious for big familias) used to live in a 2 bedroom apartment 2 doors down from us in the glorious Kalihi-Palama neighborhood. Despite living in a shitty part of Honolulu, Chris went on to the NFL and ended up marrying my classmate Adriana, his sister was a W. Volleyball All-American at Nebraska, and one of his brothers (I think he had 6) heads the Police Union.

I've heard "Fuamatu-Maafala" pronounced so many different ways it's funny. You'd think sportscasters would be used to saying Samoan/Tongan/whatever Polynesian names by now.

The radio station I listen to in the morning used to have a contest "Who, Moo, or Fu?" and you had to pronounce Fuamatu-Maafala "correctly" (as in Deck The Halls) to get the Fu prize!

Happy Scrappy Hero Pup!

Does anyone remember the scene from TEAM AMERICA where Gary threw up over and over again?

So is it pronounced fu-amatu-ma-a-fala? *Singing to the tune of Deck The Halls*

This thread makes me LOL! :)
