spelling

[Robmeister]

Lived in the South myself for 4 years....

Instead of "turning" the tv on or off....it's "cutting" it on or off...

Instead of "pushing" down the pedal or the button....

It's "mashin'" it down....

Grits rule....Piggly Wiggly.....Lizard's Thicket....Waffle House...sweet tea 

[wpruitt]

My favorite is still "mama'em".  
Usage:  "Who's coming over for supper tonight?"  "Oh, just Mama'em"

(Translation - mother and family )
                                            

Southern bashing?!  Who's Southern Bashing?  lol

Can't nobody bash us Southerners except US!

Learnt is a word.  So is "ain't", "fixinto" and "gonna".  Along with many others.  "etyet" is another great Southern word.  For example, when folks come over to the house you always say, "Ya'll look hungry. Etyet?"

It's like a whole 'nother world down here.  However, I have never REPEAT never humped a cousin.  lol  Although I do have one that is really HOT!  Love her!

[GASlick]

Timm - you are so funny!  Just for the record my "pond" in vinyl!

And we in the South are very hospitable.  We just let anyone in.  We have a saying in my family  "Ain't never been a stranger in this house.  Been some strange people, but no strangers." 

Ya'll come back now, y'here!

[Timmay]

up here in sw indiana we call the sink ..a "Zinc"  and we change our Oral instead of oil.  Instead of im going to run to the grocery store to pick up groceries....its Imma gonna run...  another ol saying

its 13 of one or half a dozen of another.  You cant make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.  Or when someone isnt very productive on their job..we say Well Robmeister isnt very workbrickle.

[wpruitt]

Well I AINT got NO scruff wiff that.  Y'all just sit down dare and relax a bit.  Im gonna go out yonder and fetch me some fiddles and we's all gonna have on hell of a barbeque right out here on the ol fire pit.  Then we's can all go and have a dip in the cement pond.  And I aint gonna hear no bickering and fighting about it E-der.  Ef y'all wanna knock each udder out ober it...den y'alls just take it out there  in the back 40 where  I's dont haff to sit and watch y'all  makin fools of ya selfs.

Just because a cat has kittens in the oven, don't mean they're biscuits.

[Timmay]

Oh and for the record...around here it Aint so much the spellin....its the pronounciation....lol  bunch of ol farm hicks around these neck of the woods.  

[Timmay]

But momma, I didn't say nothing bad to Billie Sue .... I just told her that her cheerleading routine was 'special' ..... bless her heart."

[GASlick]

You do know that "Bless your heart" is NOT a compliment, right?

[wpruitt]

You do know that "Bless your heart" is NOT a compliment, right?

As in, "Bless his heart, but his elevator don't go all the way to the top".

[GASlick]

"I hope she marries rich, bless her heart."

[Timmay]

Yes I know that....my cereal bowl aint a few frootloops shy of a full bowl either

[Timmay]

[wpruitt]

My favorite, though, Slick, comes from Lewis Grizzard:
"We may talk funny, but we ain't no Southerner ever paid $5.00 a head to watch 'Lucky Joe' wrestle an alligator, which was nothing but a dog painted green."

Timm ... if you want to know how a true Southerner thinks, speaks, and acts, go get a few books and CD's by the late, great Lewis Grizzard.

[GASlick]

THE great Southern humorist.  He was so great.  I have several of his books that I need to re-read.

Lewis Grizzard was so funny.  Erma Bombeck is another good one.

[Timmay]

I had an experience.  Remember now my wife grew up in the country so she knows all of the slang.  We were at her parents house .."way out in the country" One of the neighbor ladies had come to the door, She wanted to know if she could borrow some''ASS""I SAID WHAT! SHE said do you have some 'ASS'
SO I know i looked puzzled,I said hold on a min...Honey the neighbor wants some "ASS" She said what! So she came to the door and asked her,  she looked at me and said NO SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF WE HAVE ICE..She needed some ice.So i felt about 1inch tall,but it sounded like ass to me in the END we all LAUGHED TOGETHER
