Soo Funny as my long time nickname is Elmer Fudd. I do have a NOS Elmer Fudd patch that needs to get sewn on my club vest. I got tagged with Tacoma Bob on the old Ford Barn or perhaps Ahooga. One night in the chat room there were 5 Bob's on at once. LOL
 
thanks cool hand for the spelling lesson. sometimes my fingers type faster than my brain thinks and i seldom do spel check. and somtimes my bran dont think.
 
Haha good one! I had to correct a classic car company once on that very thing when they advertised a trailer with a 'wench' and they didn't know the difference til I told them exactly what your pic implies....

But it could mean that their trailer came with a Wench to turn the manual Winch. That would make her a Winch Wench. I think the earlier trailers made before Halloween even had a Winch Witch as an accessory. But they only worked one day a year so it made sense to move up to a full time Wench.
You follow?
 
Funny stuff. Another word I see often on this board is "prolly". I wasn't sure if maybe that's modern internet shorthand that I've never heard of, so I never mentioned anything. But if it isn't, please note the word is "probably", not "prolly".

Will,

I've had Autocorrect substitute "prolly" for "probably" a number of times. If you're typing fast you can miss it before you post. If you use the "look up" function it takes you to Wiktionary which defines it as:

"(colloquial, slang) Probably. 'I should prolly keep my eyes on the road.'"

Not probably not prolly, it is definitely not prolly
