Another Topic discussed whether:


Is GAE accent a blend of non-english accents?


I think that people can recognise 'Irish and Scottish' accents in GAE but not 'Russian' or 'Yiddish'.

However there are other ways in which the melting pot of the United States has influenced the English language.

I am thinking of expressions like:

Super Duper

Big Cheese

and, "Hot Dogs"

When I was in Poland, I saw references to 'Pies' all over the place. But not: Who ate the Pies?

In Poland it was obvious that: These Pies bite!

Was it Bismark who said, that if you like sausage it is wise not to ask how sausage is made?

Coney Island: Food & Dining by Jeffrey Stanton:

In 1867 Charles Feltman owned a pie-wagon that delivered his freshly baked pies to the inns and lager-beer saloons that lined Coney Island's beaches. His clients also wanted hot sandwiches to serve to their customers.

Feltman boiled the succulent pork sausage and placed between a roll. The wheel-wright tasted the it and liked it. Thus the hot-dog was born.
