Slang !!!!

I could be here for hours, lols. I am from the South. Some say I'm very rednecked, but I try very hard sometimes to be proper. Our upbringing was on a southern country (cow) dairy, chicken (poultry), pig(swine) Farm, with a huge (food) garden. Yes, we shuck corn, hulled peas, picked strawberries, blueberries, you name it, and Grandpa probably had it there. And we fished in 2 of grandpa's ponds. My uncles (as I giggle) the one they said the most, "Git'on'outta'hea" meaning,....Get on out of here.


if you told them or my dad you loved them, all you would get in return, was "yeh" meaning Yeah, ok. My uncle's nor my dad(real) (My step dad is the one that passed away last year, incase you have read other thing's I've wrote.) Anyway, they weren't huggers, they hugged you kind of stiff like. Oh, and it wasn't do your homework, it was, "Git'ch'ya'lessons?" meaniing "Did you get your lessons done?" Meannig "Homework." My embarrassing one I still slip and say, is "Watch'ya'fangers!" meaning "watch your fingers!" my daughter catches me, and usually bust up laughing. i also slip and say "ya'll" "you guys" and "gals" my step grandma, was more southern than I was raised. hers was, "you'uns" meaning, "you people".





Please be patient with me, I have got to tell this southern story. We all almost lost our appetites, at Thanksgiving. My Step grandma, hardly ever wore shoes, I can only remember her wearing them to church. We were all having Thanksgiving dinner, turkey and all the fixin's. My 2 cousins, thought they'd do grandma a favor, and kill her a possum 'cause she loved possum soup. As that's what they were raised on, her and her siblin's(siblings) they killed the possum, by hitting it in the head with big rocks, skinned it on the front porch, now mind you we are all in the house eating turkey, enjoying our meals. they called grandma, and she got out of her chair, and into her wheelchair, rolled into the kitchen, she got all excited, cleaned a deep cooking pan out, turned the stove on, got the water good and hot, looked down at the possum, and said, "Benjamin, I can't eat this here possum, it's still got the gutts in it." Now she said this real slow in her country elderly voice. Needless to say we all weren't very hungry after that. I still shake my head to the thought. I sure miss my grandparents, good southern people. I will shut up for now, If you need someone to explain, southern words, I'm your gal. I' m born an Arky (Arkansas) but my heart is an Okiee(Oklahoma)(I'm 1/16th Cherokee Indian.) The school my kids go to, some wear there cowboy boots, my son and some of his friends, now mind you thy are in 2nd grade, will wear their cowboy boots, and shorts, and this is normal, for most here. Most people still wear their pajama pants all day, even to check mail, and pick up their kids from school, and I've seen them wear them to go grocery shopping. They sometimes pickup their kids on 4-wheelers. one came on their lawnmower, I love my town!lols Jeannie I love southern folks.
