"Clapsed" (for "Wisconsin", "Syracuse", "collapsed")
A salesman shows up at a house and a boy answers. "Could I speak to your mom or dad, young man?,"
he asks.
"They was in before but they is out now," he replies.
"They was in! They is out! Where's your grammar?"
"Out in the kitchen making cookies."
As for the person who got in trouble for that comment you mentioned, he is now filling in on WABeatleC
