How about when you decide to jam out some riffs, but first you have to plug UP the cable?

I always tend to plug IN my guitar. How many of you would rather plug UP you guitar to the amp instead? Don't be lying now just to save face.

I've never said plug UP in my life. Plugged up ok, if there's a clog in the pipes.

Perhaps it's regional. I know a couple of southern dudes that say it. Strange shit if you axe me...

I'm a southern dude. But the south is regional, too.

I suppose every area can be regional.

Anyway... speaking of shit, as mentioned in my prior post. Not sure if it's been mentioned in this thread already, but what's the deal (narrated in your best Seinfeld voice) with the expression "shit ton"?

Makes no sense to me. A ton is a ton no matter how you weigh it. If someone is trying to imply that there's more of one thing than another, wouldn't a feather ton be a more accurate... analogy (if that's the proper word)? Because obviously a ton of feathers would be a much bigger pile than something like a ton of shit or whatever...

I believe it's the new and improved "butt load". Which brings up another question.

Damn, I guess I'm lucky that I've never had a shit ton butt load! Oof!!

Grammar rules are great and all, but if we don't end our sentences with a preposition we'll never know just what we're made of.

I haven't looked it up yet, but do you think "henceforth" is preposition? I'm thinking about it, but I'm just not sure right now.

Henceforth we shall consider it an adverb! Innit.
