The most very groovy misspoovey asks about the phrase :"Abysinnia", is a slang heard between opie and Andy when parting company as do many residents of the southland, it means, "i'll be seein' ya"...to which you respond..."seeyasomoa"..or "i'll see ya some more(later)...be kind to one another and remember, a stranger is just a friend you ain't met yet.

Nought plus nought is nought. Put down your nought and carry the nought......

I am sure many of us are or were ignorant about how Convention Centers operate (not very profitably apparently), and the dual ownership. I'd be curious if Eastman or Kingsport had given any though to one or the other buying out so that at least somebody could make some money. Also, somewhere along the line, I got the impression that Marriott was or had been involved. I was thinking it was the Marriott Meadowview Hotel. Thanks for the work you and Meadowview have done, though I am disappointed that it seems [EMAIL PROTECTED] is coming to an end.

I feel real stupid asking this and I'm sure when I hear the answer I'll kick myself all over the room for not figuring it out. So here goes...What does "Abysinnia" mean or stand for?

Thanks! ~the groovy but dimwitted misspoovey~ >> Hello to all...Thanks, misspoovey, for asking about the abyssinia thing since this is usually how I sign off. I looked this up a long time ago because I wasn't sure just what Opie and Andy were saying. It comes from episode #112, "Barney's Sidecar". In the scene, Opie is using the wood-burning set he got for his birthday and getting smoke all in the office and Andy comes in and tells him to take his wood-burning set home. As Opie walks toward the door, he says "Abyssinia" and Andy replys, "See ya Somoa." According to the book, "Mayberry 101", Everett Greenbaum remembered the clever way folks would use these terms in the 1930s. Abyssinia means I'll be seein' ya!, and See ya Somoa means See ya some more a. So really, the terms don't mean anything- they were just different ways of saying goodbye. Isn't that the coolest??? Again, thanks for asking...it is always fun to remember back on my "TAGS" education. Abyssinia!!

I talk to elderly folks that come into my office and they still say nought for zero as well as hope for help and some other gems. It is so cool to decipher what they mean sometimes. Enough of my interloping...Abysinnia, Crystal M. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 23:24:09 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Language Gosh I didn't mean to start a moulage. It seems that many slang words began as religious epithets in disguise and over time have come to mean nothing. I was mistaken to take offense and hereby apologize to anyone offended by my inquiry. In the future, I will trust that anyone kind enough to appreciate Mayberry couldn't possibly be talking ugly.

She said she got a flyer in the mail, that says this THURSDAY evening our very own Ronnie and Jean will be at the "Mall at Johnson City", 2nd level, from 6-8 PM. As she is in Johnson City, and I am still in Pensacola, I can't give you directions, so maybe one of the residents up that way can.

I'm all the time seeing references to it on the digest but I am cluele= ss as to what ya'll are refering to! Thanks! ~the groovy but dimwitted misspoovey~ Miss Poovey I have always believed the refernece is simply to "I'll be seeing you." If you say it quicker and in sort of a slang, it would easily become, "I'= ll be seein' ya." Which is very much like "Abysinnia" and requires the only appropriate reply "See ya Samoa." (See you some more.) Lots of luck to you and yours. Will "Who you callin' a creachter?"

I am his son-in-law and my wife and I would like to keep people informed. Hello Everyone!! We are getting ready for Larry's golf tournament on July 26 at 2pm. The cost is $200 per team and hole sponsors are $100. We need some help getting sponsors and prizes, etc. Can you please pass along this information to whomever you can so that we can get the word out? If anyone knows of some prizes like golf items, rounds of golf, trophies that could be donated, etc. please help us out and let us know. We would greatly appreciate it. We are going to need all the help we can get with this and we would like to have a great turn out and lots of prizes. We are going to try to make this an annual event to help Larry pay for his transplant medications that are going to be so costly. Our fear is that once Larry is back on his feet, he will have a difficult time getting any type of insurance once he is able to go back to working. We would like to thank everyone for inquiring so much about Larry. He will be at Mayberry at Meadowview on June 24th so if you are a friend looking to see Larry again or even if you have never met Larry, come and see him at Meadowview. Thanks alot for your help!!! ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #194 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
