When we moved to Michigan from Pennsylvania, I had a hard time at first with the local dialect. People would pronounce ‘ask’ as “axe” and I got a bit freaked out when they said to “Axe someone.” Weird.
I hate to be ever so slightly “culturally insensitive”, but I have rarely heard an African-American speaker say the work “ASK” correctly. I think the one that did, was POTUS for 8 years!

It seems Steve is on the wrong track here, and some days I just can’t help saying the obvious.

She needs to change to a double bit ax. That way could slash him on the back swing.

Axe her to sign something else, Steve. And don’t call her Molly Hatchet. She hates that. Chop chop.

Counting fingers, Steve-o?
Mrs. Whacker’s “mark” is…distinctive, shall we say?
