Hick/Yankee Dictionary

[sue z q]

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!

------------------
Jo: Partners? You mean 50-50? Uh, 50-50-50-50-50?
Blair: Good, Jo, we'll let you do the books!

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people?

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

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??

------------------
On April 24, 2008 Kaley and I are going too meet in LA, and hancuff ourselfs too Nancy McKeons car, or better yet her! And your not! Were also gonna find Jay Harrington too.

Teddy: Be honest with me, not my parents!
Jinny: All right, fine. You want honesty? Why don't you let me tell you a little bit about my family? See, I never really had a birthday party unless you wanna count my 15th, when my father showed up for cake, plastered in his underwear! Oh, yeah, by the way, my mom couldn't make it that year either because, well, sadly, six months earlier she blew her brains out!!!!!
Teddy: Jinny, my God.
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.

ko... Sean Snow, you must have not come from Eastern Oklahoma (right beside Arkansas... No offense to Brit, but YUCK!!!), or you would talk like us, too! 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!

sue z q, about being converted! And we have spelling bees here too. (delicious... 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...) Our girl that won went to the county bee (which was at our school) and got out on nasal... Oh well, I don't care, I'll win it next time. (Quiche, q-u-i-c-h-e! That was a real word, hehee!)

Ko, y'all, here's one...

Band- ko, patooties
Prep- ok, shoot

------------------
We are the Muldrow Bulldog quiz bowl team
We're gonna beat old Sallisaw with the lead
We're gonna squish 'em
And squash 'em
And roll 'em around!
All with the sound of the BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!
Bulldogs!

"1st in county may be great, but next year we are taking state!" Kenzie R.

WIN-LOSE RATIO
9 - 1

<3 ya!

...Actually I say yonder all the time.

Man: Where's the gas station?

Me: Over yonder (then I just point in that direction)


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.

N-A-Z-Z-L-E. Question...

Why do some peeps spell y'all ya'll instead of y'all? Cuz we spell it y'all, but in the DC thank you's they spelled it ya'll. Isn't it...

y'all -- (yall)

ya'll -- (ya all)

I think that's what it is... I was just askin, cuz it's drivin me nutz!

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps not record of wrong doings. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Around here we say pop, unless we specifically want Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sprite, etc. But they're all pop.

Other than that, I really don't know how different I talk.. I know a lot of people drop the f in "of" and stuff, but I think everyone does that

Oh, and we don't curse, we cuss

[Meg07945]

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" ) 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...

Yeah, Im from northern Jersey... And in NY they dont pronounce their r's and here we do... Not ALWAYS but usually we say them... And sometimes add too much r... 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.

Yes! Thank you, NancyJoJinny! I lived in northern/central NJ for a while, and it always ticked me off when someone would imitate a Jersey accent by using a NY one, you know? That's just not the way it is!
