What is Larry saying in Pig Latin?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hammond Eggar:
Someone needs to change the quote on the Wikipedia page for Tassels in the Air.  After reading the above coments, what Larry is quoted as saying is obvious gibberish.

xraffle:
Even the closed captions on the Volume 2 DVD was incorrect. It went something like this: "Eepkay rightshay on." Based on my hearing and the weird closed captions, I just put two and two together, and it sounds like Larry is saying "Keep your shirt on" in pig Latin. That makes the most sense.

And yeah, that Wikipedia quotes section is wrong. There's even other dialogue that's not accurate. Someone should take what I did on my transcript and put it up there. I would do it, but I'm lazy and some idiot out there will always revise/delete what you put up.

Just out of curiosity, any of the 'youngins' on the board even know what Pig Latin is?  Is it still used?

It's some kind of secret language people use to talk behind people's back. I learned it in grammar school (by my classmates, not my teacher). Like Larry said, the language is very simple. Just take the first letter of every word and add it at the end and add "-ay" to it. An example is: "dumb" = umb-day. And no, Curly does not equal "Curlicue" or "Umbday." ;) Curly is "urly-cay" in Pig Latin. Take the "c" and move it at the end and add an "-ay." The only exceptions are words like shirt, chair, etc. With those words, you move the first two letters of the word to end.

Yep, and often without any kind of explanation or justification, too.
