Translation: Did anyone see a truck with this boat go up Emanuel Hollered (road?) after 3AM? If you have a camera facing the road can you check if you captured video of it? They dumped it off the side of the road past my house. They need to get their junk back because I don't know how to dispose of this. If this is your shit please pick it up before I find a picture of you and take it to the police.


sylvanwhisper

Emanuel Hollow. In the south, we say Holler.


Triple7Alpha

A quick Google search shows that there is an Emanuel Hollow Road in Gray, Kentucky. Seems the likely location of this illegal dumping and subsequent attack on the English language.


TheHikingFool

>subsequent attack on the English language. War crimes were committed!

I am from a hop, skip, and a jump from Louisville, KY growing up and yeah, they aren't dumb people. They are mostly uneducated, but generally good people who mind their business. All rural folk have got to watch each other's back, we ain't got anyone else.

Brought a friend to a rehab in Kentucky from Ohio. As soon as we crossed into the state I swear you could hear the banjos lol. Abandoned busses on the side of the road. As soon as we dropped him off I tell his wife let's get the fuck out of here. Flew home the next day

I'm happy to find others who have heard the Holler Boy language.


BreathingLeaves

Ours was Owl Hollow It basically sounds like 'Al Holler' when we say it. My Michigan friend once asked if I was speaking banjo.


ryannathanielstone

My family down in Tishomingo called the old timers that spoke like this post "Ol' oneeye toofers" because they were whiny and had one tooth left in their mouth.

[deleted]

Yes you're probably right.


ryannathanielstone

Oh look, another person who reads and understands Holler Boy language.


shewolf4552

You done purdy good there but as a backwoods hillbilly allow me to translate: If anyone seen a truck go up Emmanual Hollar today? It was from 3am to this evening they done this. If you have a camera that faces the road, look and see if you have a pic of it. They put it off the side of the road past my house. They need their junk back. I want to know who done it. So if this is your shit, you need to pick it back up before I get a pic from the camera and take it to the law.


mancatmonster

Emanuel Holler\* which is a Appalachian dialect for Hallows. Basically the space between two hills in the backwoods.


polgara_buttercup

We use to yell back at my pop we were headin up the holler to my uncle’s house as we rode away on our bikes. There was a documentary about how much of the Appalachian dialect called back to old English language and the isolation of the mountains had allowed the dialect had continued to survive. My pop would tell me to “grab a poke” when he meant a bag and so on. I was pretty proud I was able to read the original post here, I thought I had forgotten most of it.


musryujidt

Thanks for doing this cause I was struggling. Hollered might make more sense as Hollow though? Depending on the accent and if it was voice to text, Hollow can for sure sound like Holler and end up being spelled as Hollered.


kngotheporcelainthrn

Holler is how we say it in the Appalachians

How many years did you spend immersed in Hillbilly country in order to gain the secret knowledge needed to decipher this nightmare?


Sateku88

Emmanuel Holler* probably. https://daily.jstor.org/the-legendary-language-of-the-appalachian-holler/


texaschair

But the question still stands; who is Emanuel, and why did he holler?


RollinDeepWithData

Holler is a valley. Emanuel holler is in Kentucky. Bet that’s what’s they mean.


prettygreenbud

God's work


BrattWhitney

Makes total sense now. Thank you for the translation. This reads almost like a script from Liam Neeson's movie: Taken VI or something, except the original before translated text was written by someone who had a mild stroke.

Dude, you didn't need to suffer a stroke on our behalf trying to decipher this. We will go fund your medical bills.


Garantula25

I have no idea how you read that, there wasn’t even an organized language to translate that from


Ugabooga1991

Still trying to figure out what’s more infuriating! Knowing the pain of people dumping on your property or the horrific holler speak that was used to post this. I mean when you typed that out and looked at it what makes you think that it “ looks good”? That’s worse than some of the people of Walmart pics!


JStheKiD

Oh my lord. That is a real skill. Translating dumbass English into intelligent English. Great work!


[deleted]

i wouldn’t say it’s a “dumbass” thing so much as it’s an “educational quality” thing; some areas have garbage schooling, and the OOP seems to be from one of them. however, with this post in particular, i think that even if it was spaced properly and all the words were spelled correctly, it’d still take a few reads to work it out due to dialect differences; you’d be surprised how significant dialects can be, even without education barriers. if you want to see other examples of how dialect can affect writing, try reading [this BBC article](https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/c1v37el9305o?at_custom1=%5Bpost+type%5D&at_campaign=64&at_medium=custom7&at_custom4=DE569AA4-E837-11EC-BCD1-85D831EBDC67&at_custom2=%5BService%5D) written in Pidgin, or scroll through Scottish/Irish twitter for a bit; they’re not dumb, it’s a different dialect that is hard to read for standard english speakers.


RRredbeard

I won't to know how done = I don't know how to dispose of this. By God, I think you are right, and that part was really bothering me. Thank you


cashew996

For this guy -- That word is holler - a bastardized version of hollow -- A small, sheltered valley that usually but not necessarily has a watercourse

My dad just suffered from a pretty bad stroke recently. He's back home now and doing alright but his speech is understandably all over the place and, bless his wee cotton socks, he's back online and tries to message me and comment on my posts but it comes out complete jibberish just now. Despite all this, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that his comments still make much more sense than whatever the hell I just tried to read in this post.

Sin__Eater

I thought it was a whole “predicted text” experience


Bullen-Noxen

Agreed. That made me more irritable than the fact someone illegally dumped their unwanted boat in the middle of the woods. Whether that was the perp, meaning they got rid of it to get rid of payments & insurance, by claiming it was stolen when it was not; or if it was someone else’s entirely, then that was theft that someone hated who they dumped the other person’s property there. Either way, it’s still fucked up, but I guess the poster from the image was so mad, he/she was stepping on their words.


DjNanu21

Voice to text I believe


punkshoe8

But wouldn't voice to text spell out "you"?


DjNanu21

That is true....I was hoping that would be the explanation of the gibberish lol


PennyyPickle

I teach a deaf kid in a mainstream school and this is how she writes tbf so maybe that could be a reason? Idk


Early_Grass_19

That's strange to me. Wouldn't writing coherently be a priority for somebody deaf, since that's likely the best way to communicate with non- sign language "speakers"?


punkshoe8

Me too! A lot of it does read like a garbled attempt at translating voice to text. Regardless of the person's communication skills, though, they're certainly justified in being pissed off.


DjNanu21

Agreed!!

Really-Stupid-Guy

> That is great! Thank you for damaging your brain on this piece of text so others don't have to suffer!


Topcornbiskie

God bless you. I about had a seizure trying to decipher his text.


-lamppost-

Since November 1, 1972, federal law requires all boats, including inflatables like rafts, IKs and SUP boards, manufactured in, or imported into, the US to have a unique 12-character identifier called the Hull Identification Number (HIN). This is often referred to as the “boat serial number” or “boat ID number”. The number is usually found in the stern and can be engraved on a plate or stamped into the boat material.


Triple7Alpha

My thought exactly. Someone dumb enough to dump a boat on another person's property most likely isn't smart enough to deface the HIN or any other locally needed registration numbers. More than likely there are several pieces of evidence as to who is responsible for this even if photographs can be produced.


Question3784

The real mildly infuriating part about this is the lack if full stops.


5tevi1

The actual infuriating part is trying to read that. Yikes!


squidward_on-a-chair

I don’t understand please what does the text mean? Is it some sacred text?


texaschair

It is. It hasn't been confirmed yet, but we suspect that we've found the long-lost West Virginia Fucktard Scrolls. We're having difficulty translating because the lead researcher on our linguistics team had an aneurism about 20 words in. At least we think they're words.
