Stralls – lol! Living in the south I actually would not be surprised if that came from somewhere near here…
Yup!
Being originally from New York, I know the word is properly pronounced, “stroo-awes.”
They look like what we call Roman candy in New Orleans – waxed paper-wrapped taffy sticks.
Never heard them called “stralls”, though.
Y’all need them thar stralls?
this must be from south china
Okay…Call me stupid if you like…
No…Wait…Actually don’t. =)
But what is “stralls”?
I don’t know the word…
Stupid.
And ‘stralls’ are hillbilly straws.
When you drink from them, they play banjo music.
*runs from hillbillys*
Y’all come back now, ya hear.
I had thought that strall was something southerners do, perhaps in park, or through the garden on Sunday afternoons.
I see that I am mistaken. yet again.
Strall – not really a word, just a mispronunciation for ‘straw’ maybe, as mentioned above.
Stroll – a leisurely walk: a short stroll before supper.
I believe it comes from german. Blame them!
Y’all put yer stralls in the Co-Coler an’ drank it. Yessir, that’ll warsh a bad taste raht outcher mouth.
You do that a little too well.
Ya cain’t dink colee wif a strall. The salted goobers get stuck in it.
Me, you’re hilarious! You do that so well I’m convinced you must also live in the south…betcha won’t admit it though!
im from new york and i now reside in georgia… funny as hell
A strall is a cross between a straw and an awl; it’s for use in those drinks where you get a lot of ice cubes, or a sort of slushy/daiquiri/margarita consistency, where you need to punch the straw through the ice to get at the actual drink. They are illegal in many Western countries, and in some Eastern European countries up to 40% of all murders are carried out with stralls, making them the weapon of choice in bar fights second only to rabid meerkats.
I understand in South Africa sharpened bicycle spokes are a weapon of choice.
Must be hell on their inner tubes.
They must have been reading Discworld novels, but couldn’t get the hatpins that Granny Weatherwax uses.
Those uppercase L’s almost look like a W, doesn’t that count for anything?
BTW, speaking of misspellings, it’s “y’all” not “ya’ll”!
THANK YOU, SG!! I was waiting for someone to finally catch on.
I have that on the authority of none other than the water tower in Florence, KY.
Oh yes, truly a fine landmark of great distinction.
Do you know the story of how that came to be there? Back when the Florence Mall was built, and malls were relatively rare in that area (which now abounds in them), the city had “Florence Mall” painted in big letters on the water tower. Then some sharp-eyed attorney discovered a law forbidding commercial advertising on city property. After some discussion of how to change it with minimal effort, the “M” was converted to a “Y’.”
Stralls are served up wit cher Cokes, no matters what kinna Coke ya git…Spri’ it, Coke, Ernge or Barq’s!!!! So ther.
Where is there? Is it here?

That’s nither hir n’r ther.
