Hi, where is islamorada?

It's in Florida! A much much warmer place than here. Welcome to the forum mobislamorada, and if you need a house guest that's sick of winter, let me know :D :welcomean

What does "get tight suckas" mean? Never heard that before.

Re: hello from islamorada
 

Well, the way it's written, it means you should get some tight suckas, for whatever reason.
But I'm guessing there should be a comma after "tight," which would mean all the suckas should get tight lines.

Thank you so much jsquires for the grammatical review. :D

Re: hello from islamorada
 

Glad to help.
But regardless of whether we give a flying &%$%$ or not. commas can be important. For example, if three of you are stuck on an island without much food, there is a big difference between
Let's eat, Jim.
and
Let's eat Jim.
(I'm sure Jim would be hoping for a comma)

I'll be in Islamorada next month . Will be getting plenty of "tight"lines and while I'm there I'll let you know if I meet any "suckas".

Re: hello from islamorada
 

"get tight suckas" is a phrase that can be used as a farewell in the language of fisherman. it simply means "tight lines" but everyone says that. the sucka's part is thrown in as a sort of anticipated jealousy in the case that the person being spoken too will indeed get tight. so by saying "get tight suckas" some people could take it as " i wish you to get tight, but i will be jealous as hell when/if you do" Got it? as for grammar, Jim sounds like a jet skier.......... does anyone have any BBQ sauce?
