Kngraj'layshns ta Lindsay, the winner'v Frydee's phrase:
Seer-yislee, ya gots-ta tell'm-ta layoff'n'ya!
Translation: "Seriously, you have to tell them to lay off you!"
Again, the focus is on a true colloquial English translation. To translate literally would mean to say...
"Seriously, you gots to tell them to lay off on you" ...
Which we all know just makes zero sense. But Ubonics speakers would readily identify the meaning.
The trouble is there are precious few native Ubonics speakers outside of the Intermountain West, and so it stans-ta reez'n you would be easily misunderstood.
