(Also, what's the biggie about never saying "ain't"? And don't be pouring buckets of paint over me.)

Southern Lingo
Ain't: Are not
Ya'll: You all
Youins: The Group of you over there
Yankee: Northerner

For the States, it's in Cali, Oregon, Washington, huge in Alaska, and I'm not sure if it reaches Hawaii.

[Espy]

Yeah, I know some southern lingo. What irks me is how schools around here teach you to not say ain't. Kids look at me funny when I do XD

Does'nt go near Hawaii. Its where the Techtonic plates meet.

No one ever taught me not to say ain't No point in trying to quell a local colloquialism.
And Cronis, that's hardly all of them.
Why show them the one's they know?
Ya'll and ain't.
Everyone knows that.

Iunno= I don't know.
Whatcha: What are you
Doncha: Don't you

But then I have my own personal sayings that only I say or if everyone else does, I don't even hear 'em.

[Cronislee]

'Cus if we started a whole list we'd be here til the dogs came home :P.

Plus, we'd need a skype chat. Be like Roseta Stone. "Rosetta Stone: Redneck"

Those are just slang/slurs to me, the "iunno" and "dontcha" things. I mean I'm in southern Nevada but we have more that 'valley girl' accent here, not the Southern.

I use all of those too...along with some stray slang from other languages. Probably from books.

AHmigah, Rosetta would be hilarious. "To properly form these words, relax your mouth as much as you can and try to move it as little as you can"

I have a sporadic accent. My family is from Illinois, so sometimes I get one of those accents. I watch hockey like a mofo, sosometimes, I get a Minnesota like accent.

But, man, hilariousss

[Espy]

What's bad about my talking is that I get this not-really-Chinese-but-not-really-anything-else accent when I'm nervous. And I'm nervous when I meet people, especially of my age. So guess what their first impression is. >.>

I've been letting "y'all" come into my daily speech...so more people have been looking at me funny, haha. But then that's because my bestie moved to Texas a bit back.

"Heyaman wh'chu 'doin?": Hello, friend, what are you doing over there?

"A'right naw man, we'gunna get this figured out righ'hya.": Alright, friend, this is what we should do.

"whoda hayle you think you is, you sombitch?": How dare you, your son of a bitch.

"Git'yer hands offa her righnya!": Get your filthy hands off of my lady friend this instant.

[Azrael]

XD Lady friend.

[Blaine]

Cronis: Pretty much, ahhaa!

"Ahohe'en care." =I don't even care.

"Swhah-ee Ah tole ya"= It's why I told you.



Man, that's funny. xD
Thas hilarious right there, I dun care who ya are, thas funny right there.

[Cronislee]

Well, night all. Good luck with those Cicada's.
Woooowee Larry da Cable Guy *highfives*


We need more Southern blood on this site. Too many Westerners.

[Azrael]

XD I don't know if it's cause I've been studying Japanese, but I've been saying "right" or "you know?" a lot at the end of a sentence lately. Cause 'ne' is the rough equivalent of that. Or I just plain say "ne?"

[Espy]

-coulda gotten that without the translation, thanks Cronis XD-

I forgot who it was in my old school who used to yell "HAAAAAAAYYYYYYLE NOOOO." We looked at him funneh XD But now I do the same sometimes.
