Southern Talk

[jimmifli]

I'd like some lessons.

My last trip south of the Tim Horton line I learned how to pluralize "y'all."

"all y'all."

Next lesson please.

[rob on the job]

Western New York's favorite expression for "almost": prett'n near

[г]

That's pretty good, Jimmi. You'll be wearing a jacket with a big number (for your favorite Nascar driver) and drinking corn whiskey from a jar in no time at all...

[OBF]

How far south are we talking, jimmi? I remember growing up in Buffalo the term for "you all" was "youse." This was especially prevalent in restaurants around the city, as in: "Would youse like some more time to look at the menus?"

Come a little further south down to Cincinnati, and you start to hear "y'all" kick in - although it's much more prevalent south of the Cincitucky border.

Go further south to Tennessee, Georgia, etc., and half the time you can't understand what they're saying anyway. :D

All y'all sumbitches kin kiss my red ass, an' go **** yerselves with a Silver Queen corn cob. Gawdam fairyfooted yankee homos.

[Woody]

'Meer' means 'Come here'... as in 'Meer, let me show you my new ride.'

[rob on the job]

Another Western New Yorkism:

"I seen" rather than "I saw"

as in

"I seen the Bills prett'n near upset the Patriots."

[ColoBillsFan]

When you are about to do say you a going to do something, it is "I'm fixin to....."

[г]

I got a hankerin' for a moon pie

[rob on the job]

And don't forget "tad."

As in: "The Bills' red-zone production improved a tad last week."

[Henry4MVP]

Tad bit. You never say tad without the bit.

[rob on the job]

Tad bit. You never say tad without the bit.

I stand corrected.

[Henry4MVP]

This thread is making me homesick.

[ColoBillsFan]

Make sure you know the difference between iced tea and sweet tea.....especially if you have any diabetic history in your family.

And dinner rolls are "rawls". The waitress will ask: "Do ya'll want rawls with that?"

I was looking for SoTlk101 not Rdnck401.

[Henry4MVP]

Hello:

"How y'all doin'?"

I understand:

"I hear ya."
"That's about the shape of 'er."

Yes/No

"I reckon so."/"I reckon not."

Surprise:

"Well, I'll be!"

BONUS! My friend's first lesson in auctioneering:

"Hey there, say there, whatcha'll wanna pay there?"

Rawls are good, and there is no tea but sweet tea.

Very good, jimmi. :thumbup:

[bad radio]

If you're going to be doing something soon, it's "Here before too long."

Like, "I gotta go here before too long" or "I need 'nother beer here before too long."

[jimmifli]

New one. Southern sayings.


"that guy's giva****ter doenn't werk"

[The REAL Sabres]

How the hell is Western New York below the Tim Horton line?? They're all over the ****ing place. And there are some in Columbus. That is the farthest South I know of.

I think Dayton Ohio is the farthest south. It's a joke.

[г]

Tim Horton's is going to change their slogan next year from 'you've always got time for Tim Hortons'
to 'you've only got time for Tim Hortons'

[The REAL Sabres]

Jimmi, I know it was a joke on your behalf, Rob just mentioned WNY after you said it.

[jimmifli]

Wise words like "that's clearer than a goat's ass going uphill".
