Anybody ever heard the word "Swanee" used?

Like.........."Well I'll Swanee", instead of, "Well I'll Swear".

Not Swanee, but "swain" used to be common.

:lol: I've heard that swannee, Mike. Also, I swan or swain as dun said. Been a long time though. About as long as it's been since hearing "Well, I'll be swigger". . Not sure what that means means.

Growing up folks used to call a soda "a Dope", haven't heard it used in a long time now. Never heard "I'll be swiggered" but I growing up I used to hear "I'll be jiggered" quite a bit.

I'll ask my Mom tomorrow what swiggered means. Or maybe it was jiggered. I could be remembering wrong. Anyway, she wouldn't let me say it. She wouldn't let me say "I swannee" either.

Friday I asked my daughter what time the "doings" for the swim team was done. She said, "huh?".
I said "The get together ~ what time is it over?"
She said, "Oh, the party ~ its a party now, mom :roll: ."

My 87 year old uncle always raises the eyes of the younger set when he says- he has to put his "rubbers" on--meaning his overshoes.... ;-) :lol: :lol:

Rubbers and overshoes to me are different. Overshoes are galoshes rubbers are only as high as a oxford shoe.
Now I just say "muckers". I wear them to town the same as I do on the farm when it's muddy/nasty

I'd forgotten that one...I think the worst word I ever heard was my Mom say "Damnation" when we were kids. Dad never cussed. I dont know where I got all them fancy words from.

Holy snapping chalk lines. Hadn't heard that in a while.
