In Utah they say "you bet!"... although they don't gamble (unless by themselves). Master Jeff - 4-11-2017 at 01:52 AM
Or "deal" instead of OK works as well. But I think we live in OKish world, even in Vietnam they say OK nowadays so...BajaBlanca - 4-11-2017 at 06:06 AM
This is so interesting. I have rarely heard a Brazilian say OK, although it exists in our lexicon.
I would love to hear Chinese with OK thrown in!bajaguy - 4-11-2017 at 07:38 AM
Ever been to Wendover, NV.........they gamble in groups, brought from Utah by tour buses

Contrary to popular opinion, Utah is becoming quite diverse----(to the dismay of many Utah'ans).
Salt Lake City and Park City areas are diverse.... the rest of the State is still a bastion. And that's why you always take two Utahns fishing with
you... if you take one, he'll drink all yer beer. David K - 4-11-2017 at 11:19 AM
What about those Utah communities with the big walls around them? The sales
reps I traveled with called them polygamist towns and they are left alone by government.bajabuddha - 4-11-2017 at 01:46 PM

Actually, the 'walled city' you're referring to is Colorado City in Arizona, oh wise scholar of religious history. There are no fully 'polyg' towns
in Utah, although not too many years back in the central San Pitch valley of Eprhaim, maroooni and Manti there was a mass movement by over 1,000 of
the Faithful to openly practice polygamy. Went over like a lead balloon with the Powers That Be in the State. bajacamper - 4-12-2017 at 07:27 PM
I cannot accept any of this as final until the "Goat" weighs in with is take on this perplexing problem. David K - 4-12-2017 at 10:45 PM
It wasn't just one walled community we drove by (in Utah), but several. They are hush-hush, and I was told about them from a Morman (who has just one
wife). This was 20 years ago, however.bajagrouper - 4-13-2017 at 12:27 PM
I believe the OK hand sign means something very different in Mexico, try it some time without saying OK, you may get a strange reaction......bajabuddha - 4-13-2017 at 07:28 PM

I grew up in Utah and have lived here most of my life. I currently reside in Southern Utah, not too far from the polygamist colony at
Hildale/Colorado city. It's not walled off, although it may have been at one time or another.
Interestingly enough, my wife is from Manti and her parents know some of the people who went off and joined polygamy in that Sanpete county group.
I am Mormon. I am not polygamist. I always tell my wife that one is more than I can handle already.aguachico - 4-18-2017 at 02:50 PM
