"Tarra"

This wonderful expression when said with an English accent can at times sound like, "ta-da" ya know like little kids do when they get done with a gymnastics move or like a magician says with. So for quite some time whenever (not just with me) Jim got off the phone I heard him say, "ta-da" and wondered what the heck that was all about, but I let it go, just thinking "well he's welsh and all . . ." (luckily he can't read this!!) Come to find out he's been saying "tarra" which is interchangeable with "toodle-pip", "cheerio", "bye-E", "see ya later" etc.
I know what you are going to say, do people really say those things?!?!?! The answer is YES, even straight men say these words, on a daily basis! Tarra being my favourite since it still makes me giggle inside thinking "ta-da" (lol)
well that's my funny Thursday morning story for ya'll.
Ellen, I grew up down in Westchester, but I uses to work at a boy scout camp in Brant Lake (Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation on Palisades Road, just off route 8 on your way to Hague)
Okay off to uni now, Tarra . . .
