    What are some phrases or words used in your area that seem to be typical of only your area?

    Here in the south, there are hose pipes connected to spigots so you can water your gardens.

    Also, when I get ill with you, I do not have a cold...

    I'm sorry folks but its "Pop".

    Soda is something you cook with.

    Coke is a brand name of pop.

    It is pop now and forever and don't even try to argue :D :eek: [​IMG]

    Although I do accept "Carbonated beverage" as a techical term.

    Until Next Post, Adam

    "Gotz" is not a word. Never has been. Never will be.

    Neither is "Youbetcha"

    "Likat"
    "Crik"
    "Taters"

    I'll use them in a sentence so you can TRY to understand *hehe*

    I went swimming in the CRIK and there were some catfish, or something likat so I just decided to go home and cook me up some taters.

    You figure it out! LoL

    Up here it's "eh?", as in "Pretty nice morning, eh?" (It's pronounced "ay"--long "a" sound).

    Where I grew up (being the lovely but tiny state of Delaware), the old folks would say things like " 'mong you youngun's..."; "We're going out to do the dealing now," and so on. (By the way, dealing would be what we call shopping nowadays.)

    "Fixin to"
    "Aight" Like: Ya want to go shoppin'? Aight.

    I reckon so.

    *I've been teased for pronouncing one syllable words like "Dan" with 2 syllables.
    I just can't get the whole word into one sound. :D
