In Tennessee, it's called ol, not earl.

My wife is from Baltimore, MD.
Here's some REAL Baltimore redneck-'eze'. . . .
I call her a "Baltimoron". She calls me a 'hick' 'cause I'm originally from Newport, TN. (It fires her up when I call her a Baltimoron!!!)

How long's it gonna take before people realize that God hates trailers!?

 

I think God hates GROUPS of them - solo, they're OK...

 

In Texas you don't change the "earl". You change the AWL in your truck.

I was born in and lived 25 years in Tennessee, and I guess I've "played" with the word EARL for so long now that I guess I don't know the real facts in my own state! That's bad........
Oh yeah, by the way, Lebanon Tenn is pronounce Lebnun.

Baltimoron reminds me of another quip I heard one time:
What do you call a boring moron? A boron. Corny, I admit.

 

Lebnun is quite right. Tennessee has to be pronounced Tensee.
I love Tennessee. Great place. Great memories.
Don't know the facts in your own state?? I've been away from there for longer than 25 years. Please don't think that I'm sayin' that you are wrong.
That was not my intent.
I've heard 'earl' more from the North, than from down home, that's all I was trying say. I hope I didn't offend you.

"Baltimoron-eze" for oil. . . . . Oye-yul.

This is a favorite among my friends
jeet yet?...naw juw?...yunto?

 

Is it me or should the thread name be changed to Rednek wurds?

 

BlueOvalRanger, no offense taken! I understood where you were coming from; just had to add my $0.02.

I love Tennessee too, especially east Tenn. I have lived in VA for the past 16 years, and even though I like it here alot, I would love to move back to east Tenn someday. I have to say that east Tenn has some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

 

I grew up in the hills and hollers of South Western Virgininia, near the Tennessee/Kentucky border (a stones throw from the Cumberland Gap). Lots of kinfolk in Harlan/Cubbage/Cranks Creek Kentucky (talk about some rough people!). I love to hear the old timers talk back there--some out of towners might need a translator at times, since they use some old (really old) fashioned words, like instead of suspenders we called them Gallowses (pronounced galluses) and work boots were always called Brogans. Mountain lions or panthers were pronounced Painters.

 

I live in a state that all marriages go thru, the state of Misery. If your married and on the waggun, you just spit out yur sodee pop!

 

I think my favorite is "yount to" Hey Im gettin to the store younto?

 

You know, it really saves time in speaking to use these words and phrases. More often than not, it's the men that use this vernacular. Apparently, the 'short speech' is popular among the younger generation nowadays, sending text messages on their cell phones and what not. Really, the redneck dialect can get a whole lot of information across in a very short period of time, and entire conversations can be relayed without the use of certain consonants and vowels.
I just wish I could talk like Boomhauer...LOVE that guy...

 

My family always answers the phone with "Yellow."
