So "enjoin" means to scratch oneself, burp and fart?

In Michigan we said "Nyah, Nyah-uh-AH-AH..." (To achieve the proper effect, you have to employ the NCVS /a/.)

I have never heard anyone actually utter "neener, neener, neener..." I have only seen that particular taunt online, in written form.

No bet; that's an easy-mark setup if ever I heard one.

If there are, they will certainly be encouraged to remain by being collectively punished with the <i>actual</i> dickhead nutbag Christo-loons.

Someone will have to translate the language of the ruling for it to mean much in Louisiana. In the South, "enjoin" is what yer doin' whiles yer settin' aroun' watchin' rasslin' on the teevee.

Everything is grist for that mill: flood insurance legislation, people who think pit bulls make bad pets, folks who eat red beans and rice on days other than Monday, the weather, the NFL draft ...

Southeast Asian refugees (boat people) settled in coastal Louisiana in the 1970s. They thrived because they were kickass fishermen and shrimpers, and not bothered by the climate. They endured a generation of appalling racism from the old-tyme Louisiana fishing industry, but are now pretty well settled. I imagine a few of them, 2nd generation, moved inland, leaving the shrimping business and withdrawing up-country away from the flood zone, along with a lot of non-Asian Louisianans after Katrina.

From the ACLU website:

'Roark also regularly features religious questions on her tests such as "ISN'T IT AMAZING WHAT THE _____________ HAS MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" When C.C. did not write in Roark's expected answer, "LORD," she belittled him in front of the rest of the class. While studying other religions, Roark has told students that Buddhism is "stupid."

When Plaintiffs objected, Sabine Parish Superintendent, Sara Ebarb, told them that "this is the Bible belt." She suggested that C.C. should "change" his faith or transfer to another district school 25 miles away where, in her words, "there are more Asians." Ultimately, C.L.'s parents did transfer him to another school to protect him, but school officials at that school also unconstitutionally promote religion.'

Born in Lafayette (cajun country), raised in New Orleans, got her bachelor's at LSU. Not a carpetbagger.
