whats so sad...alot of the southern language...from back back back in the starting to disappear. hurts my heart

[mikemathews]

All the words I’ve grown up Southern Pride.

[TheMoralMisanthrope]

As a southerner myself, I must say that "coke" is definitely NOT representative of all sodas. At least not in the Carolinas. When we say "Coke", we mean "I hate Pepsi, so that BETTER be COKE."

She started talking about Hush Puppies and she got me hungry


Edit: Thanks for the heart

I live in Pennsylvania and i said all of this growing up i do have family in North Carolina south Carolina and florida. I never knew when I said lightning bugs that was southern. Thats awesome.

My grandmother always pronounced pocket book “pockey book” 😂

[AbyssalWolf]

Collards? Gosh Ma'am my pappa always call them "Greens."

[GravitationalVioletOdyssey]

I've said all of these and I didn't know they were because I was southern. No wonder I get weird looks when I use these words in front of my non southern friends

[cassekkie]

if you say crawdaddy, you are not from the south, we do not claim you.

It’s the descriptions that are so helpful to pick up southern cadence and accent, phrasing. A video of natural dialogue between two people would be really helpful.

Love the video! Roll Tide! As a lifelong southerner, I was surprised to hear one I didn't know! It was "gumdation" ?? (I may have spelled it incorrectly.)I loved the video. Very funny and so true! One my country grandmother used that I always thought was so funny was "everywhichaways"! She used it as a single word. So cute!

Grandparents always said “go on and get you sum.” Whenever there was food to eat.

You're great! And your accent is great. I like accents but southern are the only ones I love. It makes me ashamed I gave up my Texas accent when my sister made fun of me for saying, "stirrin' wheeel". So I change it over time. I miss it! At my late age I'm atryin' to git it back. Thanks.

[tiffanyforrest]

I grew up on the west coast and a lot of stuff I say comes out in a southern Alabama accent. My family’s is from the south so it must be in my blood i guess growing up around it you start to pick it up idk. I grew up hearing all of these and I say them still to this day. I love it
