Grandma and Uncle on opposite sides: staying friends, sentence 6
Families say it their own way: at a Pittsburgh dinner it is "yinz want more pie?" (yinz = you all), down South it is "y'all", in Sligo a cousin might call Uncle an "eejit" (a fool, said half in fun) and then the craic (fun) carries on, and in Liverpool "our kid" means your brother or sister.
Who acts: Families, subject, cousin, fool, craic, kid · What happens: say, be, call, carry on, mean · To what, where: subject, Pittsburgh dinner, y'all, Uncle, Sligo, fun · Speech: someone speaks here
