Boss, from the Dutch baas, probably derived from tenant farmers on the estates of Dutch Patroons in the Hudson valley in the years before the American revolution . . .

I know the origin Setanta, I already posted it in the
Dutch in the American language thread.

You are no. 37 nimh. That means that 36 people have posted more posts than you. I'm sorry.
By the way, what are you complaining about. I'm no. 145!
On a total of 16,606 that is.

Eh - yeah - no - I was afraid of ending up too
high.
No. 37 is waaaaaayyy too high for me ... I should really get offa this bloody thing. ;-)
Well, you can say 'I'm an expert / veteran' or whatever and brag about it.
I'm still an 'enthusiast'... 995 posts... 'enthusiast'.
Well, actually all is said already.
May I add that not only Bostonians but some others, too (like me), came over from that other site. (Those easily can be identified by their entrance date: most of the first members either were/are Craven's students or from the other site.)
There have been some Bavarians here, but the (only) active German from the south is urs, from Baden-Würtemberg (bigdice is from the same place: but he is Swedish :wink: ).
Rick you spoke too soon. As soon as you posted you became a "seasoned member".
I see NickFun. Still, I deserve more
JoeBlow's from Tranna, as is one of the Kevin's and Blackie Chan - and Wenchilina as well (and cav and bo and me). djddddddd is from just north of Toronto. ceili, blatham, caprice and jer are from the left coast of Canada. I'm forgetting some of the Ottawa crowd. Must mull. And of course Montana and her cousin are from the Maritimes.
I'm forgetting some canajun Prairie folks. hmmmmmmmmmm
I'll write it down ehBeth, thanks for the information. You did give me a hard time with your location!

Actually it's quite simple. See the 'memberlist' at the top of your screen. That's all you need to know
