Hick/Yankee Dictionary - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BlairW_1 · 07-05-2001, 01:10 PM

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

------------------

Bootsy Whoosh · 07-05-2001, 08:20 PM

Hick/Yankee

warsh/wash
wrasslin'/wresting
crick/creek

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

ks · 07-06-2001, 12:48 AM

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 · 07-06-2001, 01:25 AM

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...

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 · 07-06-2001, 01:28 PM

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 · 07-06-2001, 07:59 PM

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. My mom comes from a hick town, in PA. her hometown doesn't have a name, it's just a number: 84. written in numerals, too.
