How do you fit a pig in there? Edit: I remember the saying as "a pig in a poke."Pittsburgh area slang for an empty brown paper bag.
As in, "just throw it in a poke and take it to your grandma."

My wife is taking groceries to her 97 yr. old mom. I texted her to ask what a pete in a poke was, but she lived 16 miles away where they had a different dialect.Lol one of the definitions is “a male slut”
One of my favorite regionalisms comes from Appalachia. “I don’t endorse that” becomes “I don’t hold with that.”I think a southern one would be much more colorful...Edit: list of colloquialisms.
Those Magyars spoke weird speak.My wife is taking groceries to her 97 yr. old mom. I texted her to ask what a pete in a poke was, but she lived 16 miles away where they had a different dialect.
A pete could be something Hungaians said also, now that I think about it. It came from the Hungarian section of town.
Every ethnicity used to be segregated by choice when I was a kid. Hungarians, Ukrainians, etc. All seemed to live beside each other.
I still remember my uncle telling me how to say fuck you in Hungarian. And my dad got mad at him and said don't say that. Ever.Those Magyars spoke weird speak.
From what I've been reading:I was able to locate 36 rolls of toilet paper the other day at Giant Eagle.
We kept 12. The other 24 of Angel Soft were divided up between our 2 daughters and my 97 year old mother in law.
The shelves were empty again last night.
If somebody told me at Christmas we'd be dividing up toilet paper in March, I would have suggested they need psychiatric help.
This is some crazy shit though, even without the psychiatric help.
I still boggle at the whole Austro-Hungarian political arrangement. I cannot imagine two more different oxen in the same yoke.I still remember my uncle telling me how to say fuck you in Hungarian. And my dad got mad at him and said don't say that. Ever.
No shit, we were just talking about those geriatric boomers standing shoulder to shoulder, preaching “social distancing”Let’s see, how many idiots can you get on one stage during a contagious viral outbreak?
