And interesting, Silk, how far those Portuguese sailors travelled. I knew I'd heard your "pickanninnies" before, and it was when I was in Papua New Guinea. pikininiPacific Pidgin English: *pikinini. The ultimate origin is with Portuguese ‘pequeninho’; it came to to Pacific Pidgin English from earlier pidgins (‘Atlantic Pidgin’ etc) carried round the world by sailors. 1. Noun form Kind of person: a baby, a child, son, daughter, niece, nephew, descendant, adopted child, familiar term of address for any younger person pikinini man a son pikinini meri a daughter http://makeashorterlink.com/?V227152E

Hows about "Yup per"? Or "That just about says it all." In Spanish, there is "Simón"[pronounced see-moan, accent on moan], "Andale", "Porque no" Hi, Musick, "Por cierto" and many more I'm sure I could think of if I didn't have to go to bed now.

And then there are the responses in the form of a question to a proposition in the form of a question, as in the following dialogues:
You want to go fishing with us next week, don't you? Does a bear s**t in the woods? or Is the pope catholic? or Does the pope s**t in the woods?
A negative response signifying disagreement would be, Has a chicken got lips?
