Paul Ford notes my earlier post, where I offered a shout out to my homies. As well as correcting my spelling of ‘homies’, he writes:
‘I can hear you saying this, particularly with the articulation of “shout out,” which would come out “shote-oat,” and it is very funny…”A show toat to myomies.” It’s too good.’
I am glad my simple immigrant ways are the source of such amusement to my fast-living New York friends.
