Help[Opinions] Re: Dinah
in reply to a message by Impala1729
It's very unattractive to me, first of all because it sounds like someone from Boston saying diner. Also it is so frumpy all I can think of is an old-lady kerchief or a cowbell.
Also, there's the old song about "Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah" and the repeated line "Dinah, won't you blow?"
Of course I know the "Dinah" here is a train, but it takes no imagination at all to realize what is likely to happen if any smart-alecky kid ever hears the old song even once and knows of a human Dinah.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
