Wow, it sounds like things really took a great turn around, and that’s wonderful. Let’s hope she keeps it up. ---

[QUOTE=Dogzilla] I don’t know where you are, but that’s a totally South Carolina way of phrasing it. The first time I heard that, I was all :eek: What? Is your son’s leg broken? Then it was explained to me that “carry” in SC means “gave a ride to.” Oh, and I’m sorry about your sister. I hope your family is able to protect her child and resolve the situation. [/QUOTE] It means “give a ride to” in black English pretty much anywhere in the US. Weird to hear white people (I’m assuming) use the expression. ---

[QUOTE=neutron star] I briefly dated a girl who stuck me with her toddler after meeting me on MySpace and knowing me for less than a week! I ended up hanging out with the kid at my parents’ house since I had no idea how to handle a child. [/QUOTE] What do you even do in that situation? The only smart thing you can do is to run the fuck away, but you can’t – there’s a child in your care. That sort of happened to me a couple of years ago. “We’re going out for an uber-long child-free lunch, keep an eye on my kid and make sure he doesn’t die. Bye!” Uh, what if I break him? What if he drowns? It all turned out OK, the kid is an excellent swimmer and we had a great bonding moment. I even let him swim in the deep end all by himself. ---

Is she under treatment for the bipolar disorder? Sometimes the pot use is a form of self-medication, although she may believe she’s just doing it for fun. ---

[QUOTE=Belowjob2.0] It means “give a ride to” in black English pretty much anywhere in the US. Weird to hear white people (I’m assuming) use the expression. [/QUOTE] Yes, I know… now. See the second line in my post. And it was used by a white person, but I heard it by both blacks and whites while I lived there. I guessed it was either a regionalism or a “country” thing. Most of the people I worked with at that time were proudly… “country.” I found them to be, in general, lovely, down-to-earth people. And I mentally wrote a SC Southern-to-English dictionary. I learned a lot of new terms. But that’s another thread. Apologies for the hijack. ---

[QUOTE=Belowjob2.0] It means “give a ride to” in black English pretty much anywhere in the US. Weird to hear white people (I’m assuming) use the expression. [/QUOTE] Wow, I never heard that expression from anyone. But regarding its use by whites, there is historically a good deal of crossover from AAE to the traditional dialect of white Southerners, so it’s not too surprising. Also, now I understand that old song title–“Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny”. I thought the writer literally meant “carry” in a metaphorical or symbolic sense. Apparently it just means, “Please be so kind as to arrange transportation for me back to the Old Dominion.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-sister-the-outrageous-fucking-cunt/444564.md?page=2)
