Round here (south of Houston) people never tip or dump they tump something over. Then they scooch over to get away from the mess. Then if they get hit by a branch they raise a whelp (silly me and I thought that was a young pup).

 

That guy's got more guts than a man can hang on a fence

 

That's why in nativity scenes down South, the wise men have firemen's hats on their heads. Because it says in the Bible that the wise men had come from afar.

A friend of mine told me her roomates in college laughed when she said she was going to "wrench out" some clothes. I thought that made sense, rinse and twist; then I heard my dad say that he was going to "wrench out" a glass.

My brother went to a folk music festival where a woman said that she had to pronounce "narrow" a certain way to rhyme with "wheelbarrow". I told him it should be pronounced "narry" to rhyme with "wheelbarry".

I always thought that an interesting way at looking at the concept of infinity was "more than you can shake a stick at". Brady

 

have you checked out: http://www.redneckwordsofwisdom.com

it's pretty funny too

 

I guess I don't memorize what I say. I do compound alot of words. My wife laughs at me when I go home and link up w/ my buddies at 0200 in Wal-Mart parking lot to wheel. She says Larry modeled himself after 'Tater and Fatback. Great guys they are, however country as the day is long praise Man Jesus.

The phrase I use when I catch my wife doing its is this obnoxious statememt. When she butchers a word or phrase I sarcasticaly say

English good speak I do !!!?

She always flutters after that one. She hates my OCB lingo (ole country boy) rubbin' off on her high falutin' Cali ways. HA HA HA

Sorry wrong forum.

I worked a half a year in Anniston, Alabama. Absolutely GREAT people!

One day by the elevator of the hospital where I was working, I heard a mother say to her two children:

"Y'all din no ware y'all'z goen ditch y'all?"

I was amazed that she could use y'all three times in such a short sentence.

 

We recently met a man who told us he drives a "kamasaki" atv.

A combined description of his driving style & his atv.

 

Not that it's a dialect, but just rather a sign that my father-in-law is an idiot:
He shops at Wal-MarK. Not Wal-Mart, as it's spelled, mind you, but wal-mark. I just wanna slap him every time he says that.

 

Let me guess- he goes to HallmarT to get greeting cards?

 

I really try not to speak like a backwoods-type hick, it just comes out that way I was getting gas about a year ago and man pulled up to the pump next to me asking for directions. I was telling him in detail exactly how to get to where he was going. He thanked me, got back in his car and started to leave. He then rolled down the window and said to me "my daughter says she loves your accent." I was like, what the hell? What accent?

Anyway, one word I find myself often using inadvertently is "fixing." As in: I'm fixing to go to the store. I'm not fixing anything. Where does fixing come from? And how in the world did it just end up in that sentence? I know I say other things that sound peculiar, but I can't think of them right now.

My parents are from southern and central Virginia. I have always found the way my relatives, as well as others in the area, speak to be most interesting. It's not redneck sounding, it's actually quite dignified. They often put the letter "R" where it does not belong, and take it away from where it does. Or at least change the way it comes out. It's hard to describe trying spell it out.

You might hear someone say:
I've had a rilly hawwd day. I was down at da Fohd dealaship and they cain't seem to figyuh out whus wrong with my 6 lita. I shuwh hope they can get it runnin right, I gotta haul a load down ta Flaada nex week. I'll tehya, it's a whoelot betta truck than that Shevelay I had wuzz though. I'll hawla at ya laytuh, I'm gonna go'on to the hairce and get some suppa before it gets daawk.

Translation: I have had a really hard day. I was down at the Ford dealership and they can't seem to figure out what is wrong with my 6 Liter. I sure hope they can get it running right, I've got to haul a load down to Florida next week. I'll tell you, it's a whole lot better truck than that Chevrolet I had was though. I'll holler at you later. I'm going to go on to the house and get some supper before it gets dark.

You have to slow it down a little and not stress any word for it to come out right. It all just flows out smoothly. The best way to describe it, if you ever heard Ward Burton (the former Nascar driver) speak, that's it. His brother Jeff, does not have the same accent though. Coincidently, my cousin Lisa went out with Ward a few times.

 

See y'all latea, ya hea?
