Born2Late 0 #51 June 23, 2012 "Does this also happen in the US?" Yes Abedy. There are MANY Filthy Animals in the US, too. To the OP: I only shuck when I jive. Still, some clearly appreciate having the can there for them. No harm_no foul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,384 #52 June 23, 2012 I'll be darned. I thought this was so bizarre. But what did I see at King Soopers just now? Woman standing in the fresh produce section, shucking away into a big garbage can provided for the purpose. I think I'll peel my bananas in the store, next time I buy some."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

I was at a local produce stand buying heirloom tomatoes, and lo and behold! There was a can with liner next to the corn pile. I really never noticed a can, except vaguely in passing at the supermarket, and now, you can't get away from it! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bins are appropriate, people often put kohlrabi or cauliflower leaves in there. Sometimes carrot greens etc. I also like they provide paper towels for cleaning hands... and the scales if need be. Some folks actually clean the scales if something dripped there... But lotta folks just leave a mess or squeeze and poke produce. Calls for the produce neighbourhood patrol! The sky is not the limit.

Randy : I'm sorry, I don't understand. First Jive Dude : Cutty say 'e can't HANG! Jive Lady : Oh stewardess! I speak jive. Randy : Oh, good. Jive Lady : He said that he's in great pain and he wants to know if you can help him. Randy : All right. Would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine? Jive Lady : Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da' rebound on da' med side. Second Jive Dude : What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap!

Southern_Man 0 #64 June 29, 2012 Shucking and jiving is a slang for joking behavior. Jive (in the airplane example) is a word to describe slang speech used by African Americans (it was a much more popular term in the 70s, I haven't heard anybody talk about speaking jive for a long time). Shuckin' and jivin' is also commonly applied to African Americans (or was in the past again) as the paradigm was that they used humor and deflection to misdirect and avoid trouble in situations where there was a power imbalance."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

ryoder 1,384 #65 June 29, 2012 Back when I was in school in the late 80's to early '90's, there were a couple text translators floating around the Internet (which most people had yet to discover). One would translate to Jive, and the other would translate to Valley-speak. They were hilarious! I was feeding everything I could find into the Jive version; Gettysburg Address, etc.Funniest story I saw was a dude who plugged the Jive translator into his companies email system as a prank, so for about an hour, every internal email arrived as Jive.
