Once I knew a guy who needed an edge to start speaking to girls.
He tried starting a conversation with a gal in a bar by mispronouncing pizza as PEE-ZAH.
The girl instantly assumed an expression of disdain and called him an @$$hole.
I had attempted to get him to abandon that opening line more than once before.
So that time I said, "How 'bout now?"

Why are people so hung up on orientation? I got a complaint all the Amazon labels are printing in landscape, when they should be portrait.Based on or inspired by doesn't make something authentic. It's the opposite.
Are your upside-down cakes called downside-up?
The end user has no ability to change it—it’s done via software or drivers. So I told him to turn the printer on its side. This action won’t render the labels as usable. They’ll still be wrong. But when your boss walks by, they’ll appear to be correct and you’ll be promoted to assistant GM. Landscape, portrait, these are relative terms like inside up and outside down.
During my long-ago tenure as an oil-change and tune-up tech, the lead mechanic was a very fine Scottish gentleman named Alex. He spoke of Scotch eggs, and finally brought me one to try. It was a hard-boiled egg packed in ground meat, then breaded and deep fried. It was very tasty, but sat in my stomach for hours like a shot put.
Allegedly Winston Churchill used to deliberately mispronounce Nazi (NATT-zee) as NAZZ-ee, thinking his way sounded more sinister.
I did NOTZEE that coming!

They're, they're, don't feel bad.
I have always pronounced them as nutsies. Little nuts.
Ah, yes! Definitely a South Carolina thing. I believe it is even only a certain region of SC that does pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw, isn't it?. But yours is downside up from what I am familiar with. I always saw them with the coleslaw on top of the pork.
When I lived in SC, my wife and I ran the concession stand at the high school football games. We always kept two people, sometimes three, busy putting together pulled pork sandwiches, with slaw, of course.

If the Urban dictionary is the bellwether for meanings then I’m afraid to see what it says as the definition of Grinder. ? I think that word has been adopted by some urban types to a whole different meaning maybe not suited for PG BITOG audiences if you get my drift…
Per the urban dictionary:
Grinder:
1. Someone staying on top of their xxxx (ie. making money, accomplishing goals, getting an education, career, etc.)
2. Someone who is always on the grind.
Girl you know I'm a grinder
I can't let you hold me back
You want too much control
It's bringing me down
I have to stay in the grind
And make money and do good things for me.
My brother-in-law is a Potato Farmer. The license plate on his Truck is "Tater72" (year he was born...might be 71...not important)
and you can Pry my Chickie Nuggies from my Cold Dead Bloated Hands...just don't waste the Sweet n' Sour sauce.
You are correct sir - its usually on top!
Scottish eggs look terrible? Never had them. What do they taste like?
Bangers and mash and shepherds pie are both potatoes with such a poverty level of meat they prolly count as vegan. There edible with enough hot sauce, which makes them distinctly no longer British.
"Scotch Eggs" are what you gentleman are referring to. Properly made with a Soft Boiled egg, which is then Covered in Sausage, then Breaded and Fried.
I made My own once, ( with a Jamie Oliver recipie... so take that as you will) after having them at an English pub in the DFW midcities.
Very Good, but unfortunately the name has nothing to do with Scotland. there are several theories ( as with many foods) where the name came from, so instead of cluttering this thread up more, here's the Wikipedia page for "Scotch Egg":

Yeah, many people get the Scotch egg wrong and think it's Scottish eg. The name derives from an Englishman by the last name of Scott who "invented" this dish. Imagine Sean Connery saying "Scott's eggs" - it will sound like Schkotsch eggsh."
They should have kept up with my Scotch egg posts in the food forum! I make Sckotsch eggssh pretty regularly.
I also may put eggs in meatloaf.
