Somewhere around 2/21/04 11:00 AM, Whitecrest typed wildly with reckless
abandon:
Maybe your wife is from a different country and is just learning how to
speak English. And she is really trying to say "Children" that but,
because of her very prominent foreign accent, it just sounds like
"chitlins"
Of course, you would probably would have noticed this with other words
too.
Nah, it's just an innocent little something. Mainly derived from
children -> chillen -> chitlins. Just a lazy verbal regression, if
there is such a thing.
That, and we've heard the word chitlins before, but being from small,
"isolatated", primarily redneck community, we never bothered to find
it's source.
