| 1458244 | 2019-02-15 18:05:00 | Why do you keep referring to us as sheep?? :( Penguins, maybe --- but never sheep --- which I eat as many, often and as much as I can. I guess youse guys are kinda tired of sheep though --- right? |

| 1458246 | 2019-02-16 06:23:00 | C'mon, Zipper ---> I'm only playing into the stereotype that most of the world has on US citizens . We are NOT all from New York City, nor New Jersey nor Chicago . So --- youse guys get what youse guys wants . I'm really a surfer if it has to be told . "Totally gnarly, dude! I'm stoked to sit out the heavies today and just trade snot with my bunny . " OK? I think 'youse' is much better . |

In my part of NZ, in Southland, ‘Youse’ was common. Meaning - ‘you people’, not ‘ewes’. This reflected our very Scots ancestry. I grew up on a fat lamb producing farm, so I knew all about ‘Ewes’ - from whatever end you are talking about :) |

| 1458249 | 2019-02-16 08:40:00 | Not in Glasgow, and no, it wasn’t ignorant! And ‘ewes’ are worth a lot of money, particularly if the are part of a stud flock. One needs quite a bit of nous to manage these successfully. What I am really saying, is that language (even just English) varies in usage in different parts of the world, and indeed within NZ. This does not necessarily represent stupidity. |
