Well, trash isn't the nicest thing to be called by a person.

Perhaps the etymology is more clearly understood when you consider that "white trash" is a shortened version of "poor, white trash" which is clearly a double hit on a person.

About the dollar dance? But I knew you were kidding about that.

About the rest, fear not, I am ever curious about any amusing tales about me spreading around out there, but unlikely to be ticked off. Unless a bootlegged copy of "DebtSlave's Spelunking Adventures" turns up.

Please discuss the Amazon link. If I click on it for access to the site and buy something on that trip, do you get credit? Do you get the credit if I just click on it?

Bitch please. You are clearly an imposter. Next time remember to use "all y'all's."

Is the dollar dance a southern thing as well as a midwestern thing? I don't know that I've encountered the concept in the south as much as in the midwest, but I might not be in the right milieu now.

According to Leagl, if you click through here and make a purchase, lawtalkers gets a bit of $$ from amazon. no money for just clicking the link. and no money if you buy withou clicking the link first.

I don't think so. Most of the ones I've attended have no dollar dance ritual, and this board is the first I've heard of it.

(Of course, many of them didn't permit dancing, either, so it's a bit of a moot point.)

Edited to satisfy inner grammar Timmy.

if you are in a "milieu", or even just with people who know what "milieu" means you probably won't see a dollar dance

Is that Volume II after "DebtSlave's Shrimping Adventures"?

One who uses the word "milieu" in casual conversation is unlikely to ever see, much less hear of, a dollar dance. They wouldn't know who else to put at your table.

Damn. Too slow.

That term is usually shortened to "trailer trash."

Did that involve Chef? Or have I been out of it for too long?

No. From what it's sounding like now, it's an ethnic thing. Some people have said it's an Italian tradition and I've seen it several times at weddings where at least one side of the family is asian (catholic and non). That said, I did not see the "money dance" at the wedding at the Country Club.

One of the out of town guests at my wedding asked when we would be doing the dollar dance. I had never heard of it and was in the process of asking what it was when my reception coordinator, who must have overheard, rushed forward and said, "we don't do that here - that is just not done in CT." I have since seen it at numerous weddings in the state where I currently live.
