1)Shortened version of the word "another"
It actuality is a shortened version of "another" - which is used by many people, even those who practice using grammatical correctness. It occurs naturally when the person is speaking too fast, and the sound of the letter "a" comes across as: an out going breath of air, or at a much lower octave than usual; therefore sounding absent. To write, "nother" rather than "another" is actual a "written vocalization" to emphasize haste, or pertinence, which otherwise, needs an entire phrase or sentence to drive the point home.
However, the colloquial frequency of the usage of "nother" slowly got carried into a variety of word groupings.
As the letter "a" is phonetically an out going breath at a certain octave, a rapid speech makes the "a" inaudible as anything except for the breath. (likewise the letter e is an incoming breath at a different octave).
It most frequently is found at the beginning of a sentence or directly after the word "And" as the second word of the sentence. By making the habit of trying to always say "and" before the word "another", it often corrects the problem in hurried speech. In relaxed or hurried speech, when there is failure to articulate the "d" sound in the word, then the phrase "And another" (when rushed) becomes "An nother" which still sounds like "another" to the listener. This does not always work, the outcome heard is often "an_another" or "ananother" when heard, which is worse than just saying "nother." It is quite possible that "another" is a word that was originally derived from the phrase "and other" as a transition in relaxed speech.
2)"Nother" a variation of "other." Often, in the more severe colloquial instances it is grouped in the middle of a sentence right after the word "no" in which case the "nother" is the equivalent of "other" Recently popular discussions about the very popular phrase "whole nother thing" fails to mention that this is a combination of relaxed annunciation and relaxed grammar. Where those who elect to write down the phrase put "whole nother thing" it is much more often pronounced: "whole nuddah thing" Which is just bad, all the way around. It is often used in personal story telling of a series events linked together, and adds flavor to the long winded conversationalists. It is more likely to be heard in an argument, when the whole emphasis is on not having one's own view point contested. It is effective, because it is obvious that when someone says "nuddah" they aren't concerned about being corrected or hearing your opinion. Where the "th" is replaced by dd (like a reversed Hispanic or Latin translation) It is found heavily used in areas that had a strong Euro-Spanish background, but are predominantly English speaking communities. For example "New Orleans, Louisiana."

Sentence starters:
"Nother thing ..."
"And nother thing is that.."
"Nother time I...."
"Nother way to go is..."
"whole nother time" (pronounced nuddah and is most effective when you stretch out the word "whole" and "time")
"I ain't gonna get no nother one of those, ever"
(It is a highly mindful statement to reinforce the sense of commitment to the decision. Most users of such language also know quite well how to speak properly and do so when required)
"Nother thing ..."
"And nother thing is that.."
"Nother time I...."
"Nother way to go is..."

Get the Nother mug.A good academic institution, but that's about it. The culture is crazy strange. Notre Dame grads and students claim that everyone loves it, but when people offer differing opinions, they demand the dissenters leave. How is it strange, you may ask? Interactions between guys and girls are awkward, to say the least. People are nice to your face but the most vile creatures behind your back. ND students are the "best" hypocrites in the world: they're all "Catholic," but then most of them cheat, sexually assault a ridiculously high number of girls, steal (highest crime on campus, and considering the sexual assault problems, that's saying a lot), and lie lie lie. But if you ever try to bring any of these topics up, the response is still the same old BS.... "Love thee Notre Dame" my hairy minority a**.
Student 1: No one doesn't like Notre Dame!
Student 2: I don't like Notre Dame.
Student 1: Then leave!
Student 2: Why don't we just make it better?
Student 1: Notre Dame is heaven on earth! F*#& off!
Student 2: .....(sigh)
Student 2: I don't like Notre Dame.
Student 1: Then leave!
Student 2: Why don't we just make it better?

Get the crib notes mug.An all girls high school located on the South Shore that encourages all of best qualities in high school girls: being snobby, caddy, and lacking all self esteem. Like many catholic schools, at Notre Dame, being different is not only looked down upon by the faculty, but also by the students. Run like an internment camp, Notre Dame offers one of the worst all around educations you could get for $12,000/year. Not doing your homework and not dressing like everyone else are two of the worst things that could destroy your "social life." The only social life those who go there have is hanging out with overtly homosexual BC High boys whose complete lack of knowledge about the opposite sex is only comparable to the girls at Notre Dame
Notre Dame Academy Girl 1: So...what are we doing tonight?
Notre Dame Academy Girl 2: Lets do what we always do, get drunk, drive our parents BMW and pick up some BC High guys.

Get the Notre Dame Academy mug.Notre Dame Preparatory School was founded in 1873 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame. Although it is not located on the Charles Street campus any longer, but on its current 60-acre campus located on Hampton Lane in Towson (a suburb of Baltimore). It is an all girls catholic from 6-12 with many rich traditions such as Penny Queen, Father's Follies, Ring Day, and of course the beloved Gym Meet.
The academics at Notre Dame Prep are very challenging,unless you are in the phase two only accepted because you are a legacy kind of girl. The classes in which you are enrolled in are harder than most college courses especially if you are in Parallel. NDP offers many different courses for everyone.
There are many activities and sports that receive constant awards and recognition. Most noted is the Lacrosse team, which constantly goes to championships, also since pretty much if you are on the varsity team, you will get recruited by the college of your choice. Other sports teams constantly win awards, championships, and recognition. The other activities include theater(dominated by Ms. Ward who constantly makes the drama kids cry because of her overpowering spite towards being young), speech and debate, various language clubs, PAW, SADD, Student Council, Campus Ministry, Camp Umoja, etc.
