Grew up saying, "I dies at you!", used it all the time till we moved to the States....no one here gets it. LOL I love this series, makes me homesick for all the lingo. You're the best kind!
Hands down the best Newfoundland dialects is "Blew the Arse our of her" means something broke down in a dramic fashion. I was in a St. John's give shop and they were selling Thongs with this expression.
That’s interesting. My family is Irish-Canadian (BC) and we’d usually say “you’re killing me, I was dying with laughter, he was breaking his ribs laughing, or he was gutting himself laughing, or killing himself laughing,” and a few more like that maybe. 😂😂 👍.
In central Newfoundland it can also mean you can't take someone serious because what they just said was so outlandish. For example in sarcasim, when someone just told you that the fish they just caught was so big it filled the entire boat....you might shake your head and say "whaddaya gettin on with now my son....oh man I dies at you" . So it could mean you are really funny or really ridiculous.
I am Newfie and it’s funny cause when my family go’s to the states every single time the people we talk to ask we’re are u guys from. It’s pretty funny
@@mmogamesters6422 Yeah! The actors use standard English. I suppose if they spoke in real Newfoundland dialect, not that many people would understand them..Maybe, subtitles in standard English would help Mainlanders understand them, if they spoke in Newfoundland dialect.

Do you realise you could move to Ireland (Wexford specifically) and not even stand out from the locals ?

It's just the Newfie equivalent of "You kill me!" or "You slay me!" but I guess those expressions aren't used that much anymore.
its actually an expression of saying "im amazed with you". its not just about how someone makes you laugh.
It's more than just finding someone funny
Love it...
