Savies!!

[vass0922]

ok I'm having a discussion with a friend of mine..

I mentioned the term 'savies' as I used as a child.

You know when you get up from a good seat somewhere, and you didn't want to lose the seat.. You called 'savies' on that chair! Of course being the law abiding child, you obeyed that 'law' !!

Unless you're bigger than the kid calling savies

Tell me SOMEBODY else has heard this term used in this way

Its amazing what kids think up to entertain themselves

I thought it was shotgun?

Savies??? LOL. Nope. Never heard that one.

We would "call" our seats, like on the way to the car. Didn't matter is someone else was twenty feet ahead of you, if you called "shotgun" first, you got it fair 'n square.

Of course then you had to deal with knees coming through the back of the seat, and your hair being pulled, and your ears flicked, or the dreaded twisted up rubber band being stretched and let loose in your hair right at the base of your skull...that's as bad as gum to get out, and as painful.

But sorry, no "savies". If we had to get up from chair or something we would just say, "this is my seat, don't touch it or I kick your butt." That never worked but we always tried.

"SAVIES??" Huh?

Hahahahaa!

You point to the seat as you're leaving and say, "MINE!!"

When you come back, if there's somebody there, you hit them. In the face. After that, when you say, "MINE!" they pay attention. Word.

Nope me either.Of course it don't matter if ya called it or not, it was history AFAIK

My kids yell "Fronts" and if that don't work "You're gonna die" always insures an argument.

ut oh... it is as she said... a Michigan thing

Neo, shotgun is for calling front seat ahead of time... savies is for calling a seat you already have

[willy_ph]

How about "state of nature"?

"Savies"?!?

Nope, we is a bit like Knot over here. Just say "MY seat" and if they don't listen, whap 'em!

No "shotguns", either. Must be a weird US thing.
