Hick/Yankee Dictionary

[BlairW_1]

Okay, I'm making a Hick/Yankee dictionary. I wanna see how big we can make this, so y'all add on, too! Oh, you can also have example sentences after you put your words, to help explain the differences.

# Hick - Yankee

1. Y'all - Youse
2. Shier - Shower
3. Supper - Dinner
4. Varmints - Animals
5. Them - Those
6. Youngins - guys

Hick
All y'all younguns go take yer shier before supper, 'cuz you've been playing with them varmints.

Yankee
Youse guys go take your shower before dinner, because you've been playing with those animals.

Here's part of something a fellow hick sent to me once...

Y'all- singular
All y'all- plural
All y'all's- posessive plural

Hick/Yankee

warsh/wash
wrasslin'/wresting
crick/creek

also, don't southerners call soda "coke", whereas yankees call it either soda or pop?

[ks]

Yep, it's a coke. I have never heard anyone ask for a pop. I wouldn't what in the world they were talking about if they asked for a pop.

Hicks also use some weird expressions.
Example:

I'm as full as a tick.

Are we going on the car? (don't northeners say in the car?)


The tick one cracks me up everytime. People say it at meals and think nothing of it. It's so funny!

ks

[Teddys_Angel_Jinny]

This is Danielle... hehee! And we do say pop!!! LA cracks me up when she says soda... And ks, how do you say soda? I'm posting again on my name so I can get credit for this post... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif lol

This is Danielle on K's name... I'm such a good hacker, don't y'all agree?

[BlairW_1]

Hey, NancyJoJinny, did ya get that off AOL? Cuz I saw that on a message board thingy once. Did you read that thing about "That I'm sent from above" being understood as "Medicine from a dove?" LOL! K's lookin at me funny, so I'd better get off... Don't grr.., be happy!

I'm fond of the hick saying "I'm going to beat you like a red-headed step-child." I don't say it myself, but I know a few people who do. Anyone else heard this?

I say soda, even though people around here say pop. But in the St. Louis area they say soda and since most of my family and parents were raised in the area that's what I picked up.

Ya'll is a common word in my vocab. A fellow Southerner and I had a conversation once and we discussed what you say in place of ya'll. Neither of us really could come up with an appropriate answer. I don't have a hick or southern accent, but I can't shake saying ya'll.

Where I’m at everyone says ‘you guys’ instead of ya’ll.

I call it pop. Pop is probably a little more common around here but there are plenty of people who say soda.

One more thing: If you say ya'll around here it would pretty much be considered a sounthern accent. (Maybe a mild one, but still southern)

Hey, BlairW_1, people in Oklahoma don't speak like that! I used to live there. Texans and Oklahomans onsider themselves Westerners! He, he!

Oh, my 4th grad teacher said she went to Michigan and asked for Coke. The man stared at her and she had to point at the Soda. I usually call it Soda, or Cola.

[ks]

Teddy's Angel,

We just say give me a coke if we want a coca cola. Give me a sprite if we want a sprite. Give me a Dr. Pepper if you want a Dr. Pepper, etc. I honestly have never hard anyone ask for a pop or soda. I would probably crack up laughing if they did.

I think that's another term southeners use quit often... "crack up."

ks

[Teddys_Angel_Jinny]

That was Danielle on my name, ks. We use pop, and we don't have accents like peeps from way FARTHER down South! That's another one, D. Like today on the train...

Yeller/Yellow
Like/Adore
(Here's one...)
Pert neart/Pretty close

Hick:
I like that yeller dress ova there!

Yankee:
I adore that yellow dress over there!

Do y'all use "yonder" up there? Just askin...

lol NancyJoJinnny I'm from Northern NJ and most of those words are in my vocabulary. I'm a dork though, and instead of saying ShopRite, or Kings or "the supermarket" I always say the market.

As previously suggested by BlairW_1, (lol) here's one:

Southerners have quiz bowls.
Yanks have academic competitions. *spelling bees, math olympics..*

If ya'll (Uh, oh, I think I'm being converted! lol) don't know what I'm talking about go read BlairW_1's Facts of Life fan fiction "Is That Your Final Answer?" Even if you know what I'm talking about, read it anyway! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

wicked=very or a lot

like the game was wicked awesome!

and here in ma i asked for a "pop" one day and everyone was looking at me funny so i was like a soda everyone is like oooooooooOooO

[NancyJoJinny]

Yonder? NO bady says that.. And we all say Soda.. And people not from around here are like "Which KIND of soda?" It annoys me... NONE says pop, but I think they do in Pensylvania... Maybe Philly... I dont know, havent met anyone from there yet. And I say You guys or youse guyse, not Y'all... Depends on how fast Im talking... Oh and another thing... We talk too fast.. At least from here we do. I manged to spit out 96 words in 15 seconds, but It was a competition so... You can understand it. But with Southerners... Not like REALLY south but like North Carolina... Dont you say the name Charlie Chalie? Without the R... My grandmas from down there and she says it like that... And southerners and the word Loisiana... Dont u say it Lusiana??

The only exception is Sallisaw, who "prides themselves on their academic achievements..." Well, we talk hick, and we go first in county, they got second, so... (Help me!!!)

Meg, we just say Wal-Mart, Muldrow, or Ft. Smith. Example:

Mom: Danielle, we're going to Wal-mart! Wanna come? Oh, we're stopping by Muldrow on the way.
Me: Which Wal-Mart?
Mom: Ft. Smith.
Me: Oh, ko!

(See, we have, like, 2 Wal-Marts in Ft. Smith, and 1 in... Sallisaw...)

Oh, lol about 84!

I was spelling lightning speed, cuz I wanted it to be over so I could get to band, and I left out that last I...)

We don't say people, we say folks. Also, it's not the market, it's the grocery store, the gas station, or Wal-Mart. I've never really heard the term market used except for on TV.

ahh!! I feel so left out, am I the only one not from the south?? nobody say's ya'll here...we live in the suburbs, and our entire town is preps, but we try to be all ghetto. Actually it's kinda funny.. I wanna hear you guys talk...cause I bet I talk different from all of you..all of my teachers last year had accents..well most of them...out of 8 teachers, 3 had brooklyn accents, one was from new orleans and the rest didn't have accents. The brooklyn accent is the best. lol we'd laugh at this teacher becuase if a word ended in a, she would pronounce it er.. like comma became commer, etc. It was soo funny! our other one was always like "you guys" but she would say it "you goyz" and the 3rd one from NY had the thickest accent!

I'm originally from Brooklyn, but I lived in Jersey for a while, and I recently moved to upstate NY. Needless to say, I've been around a ton of accents. I still talk (pronounced "tawk" http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif ) with my BK accent. One thing I need to point out is that Jersey and NY have different accents. There's a north Jersey and a south Jersey accent, and if you're really good, you can distinguish between the 5 boroughs. Long Island is different, as well. The worst I've heard so far is upstate NY. I absolutley cannot stand they way people talk up here. It's almost maddening...

Like once I was like you cant hearrrr it over herrre! And we do the Like thing, kinda like a valley girl... And we say off awf... And talk tawk... And you can tell which town peeps from... Because... Well, Im right near Plainfeild, and they talk with more of a accent, AND in Scotch Plains they have about the same and in Warren they dont have as much of one. Which I dont understand... But it seems like that too me. My town is sull of rich bitches... I think Im one of them, and we all try too have the ghetto attitude... But whatever, I like it.

This is a question for the New Jersey people. I know about a dozen people on the men/women's crew teams at school from the philly area/atlantic city parts of New Jersey. They all say "worter" instead of "water". Is that common all over the state or just there? I've always wondered that, but we don't have anybody not from southern New Jersey or Philly (well, except for the Midwesterners and me).

[NancyJoJinny]

Jinny: As for my brother, uh yeah, John... see, he just doesn't like you unless your American, white, and straight! and for me, a few weeks ago when I had that nut case after me... yeah, I had to make a little list, of all the guys that I've slept with in the last two years. I couldn't remember some of their names.
Teddy:Stop! What are you...
Jinny: Ya know what? This is who I am, THIS IS MY FAMILY!!!! Come on, it's your turn. You go ahead, flash that all-American, prep school, choir boy smile and you tell me that it doesn't matter! *long pause* Yeah... Thats what I thought.

lesliem14,
I've noticed that people from Jersey over pronounce their "r's." And yes, some do in fact add an extra one in the word "water." Annoying, isn't it? http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Around lunchtime you can probably hear the following conversation.
Hey dja eat yet? Hey did you eat yet?
No dju? No did you?
Yumto? Do you want to?
Aight. All right.

That is one of my favorite Foxworthy jokes. It is also so true. At least with my family. We use those words all the time.

hockeybabe: I say wicked all of the time. My cousins in WI were like "What is wicked?" I think MA is the only state where people say wicked.
Also my cousins say bag "bayg" like with a long-A and I say it with a short-A. Also, I've found that almost everyone from out-of-state thinks that if you're from MA you have a Boston accent. A friend was telling me that her father was talking to another cop from a different state and he kept asking her father to say car. He thought he would say it "cah" but her father was like "car". I say "soda".

I got this in an email from one of my friends, and I know she'd want me to say it, so her name is Suzetta, Miss Rodeo of the Ozarks! :P she's weird!

The top 10 ways (and a few extras to boot!) to know you're from
Oklahoma:

1. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in
an airplane crash.

2. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah and Chickasha.

3. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined
by the distance to the door but by the availability of shade for your car.

4. You understand the difference between 3.2 and 6 point, and more
than once you've made a beer run to another state.

5. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and
look for a funnel.

6. You are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever had this conversation:
"You wanna Coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper."

7. "Vacation" means going to the family reunion.

8. You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were
popular.

9. You measure distance in minutes.

10. You use fix as a verb.Example:
"I am fixin' to go to the store".

A FEW OTHERS:
You carry jumper cables in your car.

You only own 3 spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.

You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.

The local paper covers national and international headlines on one
page, but requires 6 pages for sports.

You know all 4 seasons:
Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.

Yup, all this would be true, but the one about the newspaper. It takes 1 page for everything, and it's about 3 pages long... The County paper is longer, though, don't think we're cut off from all humanity!

[JT]

I'm from Louisiana so you know we ahve the heaviest accents here!
OK EVERY SINGLE person down here say ColdDrank!It really means cold drink.But we got so used to saying Coldrank!Some of us say sodypop.OK here is some more words:

Orms=Arms:Usage:That man ain't got no orms!
Yakes!-Yikes!:Usage:Yakes!That hurt!
TellyVasion:Televison:Usage:Turn on the TellyVasion!
Cowt:Court:Usage:He gone da cowt.
Da:To:Usage:He gone da cowt.

That's how it's said down here!

[BlairW_1]

Hey, JT, have you ever seen Steel Magnolias? "Mama, my cuhluhs ah blush and bahshful!" I <3 that! Well, NE ways, here's 2 more things Suzetta sent me...

The culture of folks that live in the country.

1. That slope-shouldered farm boy did more work before breakfast than you'll
do all week at the gym. How'd you like to go home and tell your momma you
got your butt kicked by a big guy in bib overalls?

2. It's called a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going
to get dust on your BMW. I have a four-wheel drive because I need it. Now
drive faster or get it out of the way.

3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were nine years old. Yeah, we
saw Bambi.... and.... We got over it.

4. Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get your
butt kicked...by our women.

5. Pull your pants up, and turn your hat around. You look like an idiot.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final
approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear
at the time.

7. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it
rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham
and turkey.

8. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over
ice.

9. So you have a sixty thousand dollar car. We're real impressed. We have
quarter of a million dollar combines that we use only two weeks a year.

10. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when
it's red. We even stop when it's yellow.

11. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks--because they want to. So, you're
a feminist. Isn't that cute.

12. Yeah, we eat catfish--carp, too--and turtle. If you really want sushi
and caviar...it's available at the bait shop.

13. They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like
it? The Interstate goes two ways.... get on it.

14. The "Opener" refers to the first day of pheasant season. It's a
religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November. You can
get breakfast at the church.

15. So every person in every pick-up waves. It's called being friendly.
Probably a foreign concept to people where you live!

16. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards. It spooks
the fish.

Now, enjoy your visit and then go home. >>


RUFUS AND CLARENCE


There were two old geezers
living in the backwoods of the Ozarks....
Rufus and Clarence.

They lived on opposite sides of the river,
and they hated each other.
Every morning, just after sun-up,
Rufus and Clarence would go down to
their respective sides of the river
and yell at each other.

"Rufus!!" Clarence would shout.
"You better thank yor lucky stars I cain't swim....
er I'd swim this river and whup your butt!!"

"Clarence!!!" Rufus would holler back.
"You better thank YOUR lucky stars that I cain't swim...
er I'd swim this river and whup your skinny butt!!!"

This happened every morning for twenty years.

One day the Army Corps of Engineers
comes along and build a bridge.


Still, every morning, every day
for another five years this yelling
across the river goes on, even with the bridge.

Finally....Mrs.Rufus had had enough.
"Rufus!" she squallers one day.
"I cain't take no more!!
Ever day for 25 years
you've been threatenin' to whup Clarence.
Well, there's the bridge......have at it."

Rufus thought for a moment.
Chewed his bottom lip for another moment.
"Woman!" he declared, snapping his suspenders into place,
"I'm gonna across that thar bridge and
I'm gonna whup Clarence's butt!!!"

He walked out the door, down to the river,
along the riverbank, came to the bridge,
stepped up onto the bridge,
walked about halfway over the bridge,
looked up.....
TURNED TAIL AND RAN SCREAMING
BACK TO THE HOUSE,
SLAMMED THE DOOR,
BOLTED THE WINDOWS,
GRABBED THE SHOTGUN
AND DOVE, PANTING AND GASPING,
UNDER THE BED!!!!!

"Rufus!" cried the misses.
"I thought you wuz gonna whup Clarence's butt!!!"

"I was, woman, I was!!" he whispered.

"Rufus!" cried the misses.
"What in tarnation is the matter?"

"Well," muttered the terror-stricken Rufus,
" I went to the bridge......
I stepped up on the bridge.....
walked halfway over the bridge....
looked up....."

"And?" asked Mrs. Rufus,
breathless with suspense.

"And," continued Rufus,
"I saw a sign that said
"Clearance, 13 feet, 6 inches"
he ain't never looked that big
from the other side of the river!!!!!!!"


LOL, I <3 those! Well, GL's on, and it's the first ep I've seen in a long time, so I'm gwine get off! :P buh-byezies!


------------------
12-step program for people having problems with chattering on constently when posting will be up soon, so be lookin for it! Speaking of looking for things, picking tobasco peppers... Ugh!

[Ags2000]

RULES FOR VISITING TEXAS

RULE 1: Don't order a steak at a Waffle House. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know.

RULE 2: Don't laugh at folk's names. Merleen, Odie, Luther Ray, Tammy, Mary Beth, Marva, Edna, Earl, Ouida and Inez have been known to whip a man's a$$ for less than that.

RULE 3: Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda; this can lead to a beating. Down here it's called
Coke, even if you want a Pepsi, Sprite, or Dr. Pepper. Got it?

RULE 4: Southern women don't fancy the smart mouth Yankees. Just remember, they all have Big brothers and Bigger daddies.

RULE 5: Don't show allegiances to any other school's football team but the Aggies, Red Raiders, or Longhorns. All the others are a bunch of candy a$$*$ who play Wyoming every week.

RULE 6: Don't call us a bunch of hillbillies. Most of us are better educated than you and a whole lot nicer to boot. We just talk that way to tick you off.

RULE 7: Yea, we know it's hot; just quit whining, spend your money and go home.

RULE 8: No, the state symbol of TEXAS is not the orange and white highway barrel. This road construction is ticking us off, too.

RULE 9: Don't go to the Cracker Barrel and order toast. If you do this, everyone will know you're from Nebraska. Just eat the biscuits like GOD meant for you to do. And do not order poached eggs. No one from the South eats eggs poached.

RULE 10: Don't try to talk with a Southern accent if you don't have one or use regional idioms you can't possibly understand. Nothing makes us madder, and you CAN'T fool us into thinking you're really a Southerner!

RULE 11: Don't be telling everybody how much better it was back home. We're not going to change to make you happy. So if you don't like it here, Delta is ready when you are!

RULE 12: Our food isn't overcooked; yours is undercooked.

RULE 13: Down here, "Kiss my a$$" is a perfectly acceptable way to close an argument. You can't get more closure than that.

RULE 14: Flirting is a Southern tradition. It doesn't mean you're going home with someone later. It doesn't mean the person flirting with you is even interested. It's all just practice.

Rule 15: Take your hat off when you say the words "Tom Landry."

[Ags2000]

Rules for visiting the South

1. If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.

2. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.

3. Remember: "Y'all" is singular, "All y'all" is plural, and "All y'alls'" is plural possessive.

4. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are ya?"

5. Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying: they can't understand you either.

6. "Mom'n'em" is not one person. When someone asks, "How's your >Mom'n'em?" They are referring to the whole family.

7. Be advised that "He needed killin'" is a valid defense here.

8. If you hear a southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this," stay out of the way. These are likely the last words he'll ever say.

9. When you come up on a person driving 15 mph down the middle of the road, remember that most folks learn to drive on a John Deere and the rest learned to drive while road hunting in the back roads. In both cases, this is the proper speed and position for that vehicle.

10. Do not be surprised to find that 10 year olds own their own shotguns and are proficient marksmen. Or that their mammas taught them how to aim.

11. Shakespeare is a rod or a reel, not a writer.

12. Duct tape is not only part of every survival kit, it is the whole kit.

13. Rasslin' is not fake. Don't dare whisper otherwise unless you want a kind-hearted southerner to fix your busted head with duct tape.

14. Grapefruit is not a substitute for biscuits and gravy.

15. Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Elvis are good ole boys. Jeff Gordon isn't.

16. Turkey hunters actually curse Noah for letting coyotes and armadillos on the Ark.

17. If you hear a turkey gobble, get out of the way. Some southerners view that sound like pay-off bells at a slot machine.

18. Don't be surprised if an obituary mentions that the deceased requested to be buried in his four-wheel drive truck because, "It ain't never been in a hole it couldn't get out of."

19. "Y'all come back now, ya hear," is a temporary statement. We love Yankees to visit, but damn Yankees are those who decide to stay.

20. If you decide to stay in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call'em biscuits.

The top 10 ways (and a few extras to boot!) to know you're from
Oklahoma:

1. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in
an airplane crash.

2. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah and Chickasha.

3. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined
by the distance to the door but by the availability of shade for your car.

4. You understand the difference between 3.2 and 6 point, and more
than once you've made a beer run to another state.

5. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and
look for a funnel.

6. You are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever had this conversation:
"You wanna Coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper."

7. "Vacation" means going to the family reunion.

8. You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were
popular.

9. You measure distance in minutes.

10. You use fix as a verb.Example:
"I am fixin' to go to the store".

A FEW OTHERS:
You carry jumper cables in your car.

You only own 3 spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup.

You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.

The local paper covers national and international headlines on one
page, but requires 6 pages for sports.

You know all 4 seasons:
Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.

Yup, all this would be true, but the one about the newspaper. It takes 1 page for everything, and it's about 3 pages long... The County paper is longer, though, don't think we're cut off from all humanity!

OMG that exactly the same as Arkansas I know we are neighbors, but still its kool to see that some states are very much alike! Arkansas ain't that bad a place to live, but there aint nothing ta do here! All the stuff ta do is in North Little Rock or Sherwood and I'm too damn afraid to go to Little rock cuz of all the damn nigs! I go to concerts and sh** there and maybe sometimes other stuff, but i hardly ever go to Little Rock(its SCARY)! Ok I have some sh** to add to this dictionary thang,
A Northern fairytail begins with "Once upon A Time"
A Southern fairytail begins with "Y'all aint gonna believe this sh**!

And we call soap operas "the stories"

ok im done! I prolly have more, but im not thinkin rite now!

This is an example of how we southerns deal with cops.

Bubba and Bobby Earl were driving down the road drinking a couple of bottles of Bud. The passenger, Bubba, said "lookey thar up ahead, Bobby Earl, it's a police roadblock!! We're gonna get busted fer drinkin' these here beers!!"
"Don't worry, Bubba", Bobby Earl said. "We'll just pull over and finish drinkin' these beers, peel off the label and stick it on our foreheads, and throw the bottles under the seat".
"What fer?", asked Bubba.
"Just let me do the talkin', OK?", said Bobby Earl.
Well, they finished their beers, threw the empty bottles under the seat, and each put a label on their forehead. When they reached the roadblock, the sheriff said, "You boys been drinkin'?"
"No, sir", said Bobby Earl. "We're on the patch".
