Flonigus saying
on levels, and I love levels:

1- there is incompletenes in squeakiness brecause a wheel isn't really a wheel until its noise is gone and so, "oy" reads, aptly, like and incomplete "oil".
2- the squeaky wheel receives an "oy" remark made by a human who hears its squeak and onomatopeates it with a noise of pain.
3- the squeaky wheel gets, as in "understands", the full meaning of the "oy".
4- the squeaky wheel is not located south of the Mason-Dixon line where the pronounciation of "oil" is "ohl" thus making the "oy" both irrelevant and incomprehensible.

I could come up with more, but I'm getting hungry for brunch now.

Love your thinking, Mr. Love.

Thx Windchime
Lucie,

With reference to your reflections above:

1. Yes. I could have used that alternative spelling- oi. Perhaps, should have.

2. & 3. Yes. The wheel is saying, "Ow, I am in pain, and seeing your pain at the noise and bother, so complete my lubrication, forthwith!"

4. It's been some years since I lived there, but in New Orleans, which has its own way of talking, I believe I would hear it as, "earl".

Thank you for the visit and thoughts.

Regards,

~ John
