    3. Hi Everyone, Ed, I furschad (sp?) that sentence real good. That's the way I talk. I use to work in near Philly. I use to get some people angry because they thought I was done talking and I still had the other part of the sentence to go. Now I have one guy at my job that has a fit every once in while on the way I talk. I told him I'm just a Pa-dutch country girl and this is how I talk. (stop laughing Linda) I use bruzen (sp?) all the time. The 1st time my husband hear that one he shook his head. He's German. Bruzen mean crying. How about gretzen (complaining, wineing). Anyone know what a goch goch is? My grandfather always had us eating these. With vinegar on them. Candy Pennsburg, Montg. Co., Pa.
