Kid has an assignment in H.S. to report on typical SOMD slang (colloquial) language. I searched the posts but couldn't find much, albeit I am too tired to search the 100 hits on my search. I'm looking for some quick help so I can finish my work and help my H.S. Jr.

Green to all who help.

Y'all

JoJo: Fried potato wedges
Up in Frederick, they had potato wedges at the lunch counter and I told the gal, "I'll have some of those JoJo fries." She looked at me like I was nuts - had no idea what I was talking about.

Steamer: Sloppy joe
Although this may be a Maryland thing, but the first time I ever heard somebody call a sloppy joe a "steamer" was down here.

And of course there's:

"De by gawd"

And born-heres say "Like ta" as in "I like ta died when I saw that big snake!"

Whole nother: Something different
"That's a whole nother thing"

Carry her up the road Take so-and-so to an appointment.

Nati Bo - meaning our Baltimore favorite National Bohemian beer (no i don't drink that nasty stuff).

Up the road - meaning anywhere but here.

The Square - meaning St. Mary's Square Shopping Center.

The Park - meaning Lexington Park.

Thanks all, kid hit the mother-load. I've tapped out on green giving today but I'll get you all eventually.

I use to say "warsh" but I've gotten out of that habit.
I do say "yall" a lot.
I don't know if this is a local thing, but I use "whacha" like "Whacha up to?", of if it's a group it's "Wha-da yall doing?".
Going to school here, I think the nick-names were a little different (Pork Chop, Ham Bone, Cat Fish).


And I love JoJo Potatoes (never heard them called fries though)

No one from down here says "JoJo fries" or "steamers". :nono:



I say "steamer" all the time, but I've never used it to mean a sammich.

Context: I went behind that tree and laid down a steamer.

About the only local slang I can think of is "'Deed By God". I hear people say that all the time around here. 'Deed by God, I do.

Chaptico Market is Tennysons (and has the best chicken :drool:)
Abells is a landmark used to give directions
The Longview Beach association is a junkyard :lmao:

In the 1st district, room is rum (bedrum, livin'rum).

And speaking of the 1st - Ridge runner! :smile:

I don't recall the source offhand but I remember reading linguistic research that stated St. Mary's and Kent Island accents are a direct result of the old English that was spoken here in the colonies. The bulk of the article was how the St. Mary's accent is being watered down by 'foreign infiltration' and that Kent Island will be the lone hold out on our accent's heritage due to their isolation.

It's interesting the minor cultural differences from 1st and 7th. I live in the 1st and never do I recall hearing the terms "JoJo's" or "steamers". I've also observed over the last 20 years how when family members from both 1st and 7th district get together for Thanksgiving dinner there will ultimately be a very serious debate on whether stuffed ham should have more cabbage (south county) or kale (north county). Grandma does all she can to keep the fists from flying by passing around the 10-oz Budweiser that all can agree on. :lol:

It's more of the dialect than the slang or phrases. Most of them talk fast, they hardly open their mouths and most words have at least one "w" in them.

Girl I work with says "are you over to the house" instead of "are you over at the house?" It drives me crazy.

The ones I always get teased for (because I'm "born and raised"): crayon (crown), Washington (Warshington), wash (warsh), "I'd like ta tell ya", "y'all", dead (deyed), and Mary's (Murry's).

This article reminded me of one... Bowie: pronounced Bew-ie.

I've even heard this pronounciation carried over to the singer:

Person 1: I like Davie Bew-ie.
Person 2: I think he's a deed by Gawd freak.

I've never heard of sloppyjo's being called steamers, but I definitely know what jojos are. Someone before said "Like ta" and I say that a lot. I've got cousins that call fancy clothes "Sunday-go-to-meetin clothes." And "high-falootin" gets used a lot too.

And "down the road" could easily mean three blocks away.....or ten miles away!

And "last week" could have truly been last week, or it could have been six months ago.

The 7th has a dialect all of it's own.:buddies:

Except for the "de by gawd" every slang/dialect item I have heard mentioned in this thread is used all throughout the south.

Not a native, but I have noticed some people say "Culvert" County. :lmao:

I come from multi generations of Calvert County Natives, on my mother and fathers side. Very few Calvert County natives called it "Culvert" County. Many, many, many...years ago, Louis Goldstien pronounced it "Calvert" at some point he decided to say "Culvert".

I haven't read though the whole thread but has someone mentioned "A bumper" meaning a 32 or 64oz bottle of beer. When I left for the Navy everyone I met didn't know what that was but we sure used it alot in GMHS.

OK, what's a 'webfoot' ?

Person 1: I like Davie Bew-ie.
Person 2: I think he's a deed by Gawd freak. Actually, I went to High School with the man quoted in that article and that IS how you pronounce his name. He grew up in Charles Co. He did some studies of dialect in the Waldorf area. I thought of him when I first saw this thread, but most of his stuff has to do with pronunciation, not exactly slang. BUT if the OP would like his contact info, PM me.

Somebody with a whole lot of money is referred to as having enough money to burn a wet mule. "That Larry Millison boy has got enough money to burn a wet mule."

Someone who is wasting time on a fruitless effort may be described as fartin' a dog. You know how when you take a dog out to do his business and he just sniffs around in the rain and leads you around but never does anything. "Joe is trying to get a date with that girl, but I think he is just fartin' a dog."

My Auntie and granddaddy used to make it there...so yummy!

:smack: You're name is NOT Gilbert. He makes some yummy yummy yummy stuffed ham!

Hell, I could teach Gilbert how to make ham. I use an old 7th district recipe combined with my great grandmother's 1st district recipe.Actually, I've never had any ham from Gilbert's.I was jonesing for some at the Fair, but it's still too warm for stuffed ham or oysters.

Here is a glimpse of part of my recipe:
2 grocery bags of kale from Aunt So and So's :lmao:
:goodstuff:

Me too and I had one in spite of the heat. :drool: My friend wanted one too and asked if it was spicy. I said it wasn't, especially when made for the masses. The sammiches lit our mouths up but good and took a good hour (and a few beers) to stop burning. :lol: It was PERFECT. :yum:

I had some stuffed ham at a wedding a that same weekend that Rita B catered. Everyone was raving about how good it was. It was some kinda yummy. :drool:

Now I'm craving stuffed ham. They don't sell that up here in DC. :ohwell:

We could probably sell it $12-$14 a pound up there in Washington. (I was always taught that the "R" is silent.:lmao:)

Did they make it? I've always liked that catering service and have used it several times over the years with nary a complaint. McKay's did the stuffed ham for the fair and it was outstanding. :yay:

:poorbaby: But you have so many other yummy choices we don't have down here, I don't feel sorry for you one bit. :lol:

Who's your Grandaddy? Jim or Harold?

I probably know you, that is, if you are talking about the Friendly in Great Mills and not the one in Waldorf.

Rita made it. It was beautifully spiced. Just a little bit of a kick - pleasing for those who like it hot, but not too hot for those who don't.

I know - right? It sucks when you get a taste for something down home and you're in the city. :lol:

:stuffedhamshiattalkinsmackdown::lmao:

I knew the mention of stuffed ham would get ya'll started! :lol: :diva:

Southern Maryland Slang (http://forums.somd.com/life-southern-maryland/114214-southern-maryland-slang-post2375912.html#post2375912)10-03-2007 09:44 AMhow bout makin your freaking kid do his own homework. Thats why kids are stupid now.
So I guess there is something wrong with being aware of what my kid is doing in school and being involved? Who said I was doing the work for my kid anyway? Perhaps your parents should have paid more attention to you when you were taking English in school. It may have helped.

We have a guy that works for us that grew up in St Mary's... he always says "might could"... "It might could work" LOL...sometimes "Youstacould" slips out.

also dug (dog) groundhug (groundhog)...

I think I'm the only person in Southern Maryland who won't eat that crap.

No. It's nasty. Smells like foot funk too. :barf:

Not only that, but how is your kid going to research SoMd slang without help??? Unless you take him to the 7th and strike up a conversation while the kid takes notes. :lol:

Tennysons and Abells have both....just ask Mikey :biggrin:

how about....

dowg....dog
koow....cow
kaan....corn
earl....oil
howg....hog
Yellow.... hello


:fixed:

My kids refuse to eat it. I love it.

My brother lives in Charlottesville, and he usually has people pay him to bring some back to Charlottesville with him. :lol:


I can't wait until thanksgiving to get some stuffed ham! :yum:

Between my grandmothers and my dad's wife I'm not sure who makes it better.

:yeahthat: I've heard that a lot here.

That also 'minds me of : "needs" + past tense verb.



"That car needs warshed" instead of "needs to be washed".

Hey! :boxing:

In the 1st district, room is rum (bedrum, livin'rum).

And speaking of the 1st - Ridge runner! :smile:

I don't recall the source offhand but I remember reading linguistic research that stated St. Mary's and Kent Island accents are a direct result of the old English that was spoken here in the colonies. The bulk of the article was how the St. Mary's accent is being watered down by 'foreign infiltration' and that Kent Island will be the lone hold out on our accent's heritage due to their isolation.

It's interesting the minor cultural differences from 1st and 7th. I live in the 1st and never do I recall hearing the terms "JoJo's" or "steamers". I've also observed over the last 20 years how when family members from both 1st and 7th district get together for Thanksgiving dinner there will ultimately be a very serious debate on whether stuffed ham should have more cabbage (south county) or kale (north county). Grandma does all she can to keep the fists from flying by passing around the 10-oz Budweiser that all can agree on. :lol:
:yeahthat:Especially with the 'cabbage and kale':howdy:
I have NEVER heard of "JoJo's" or "Steamers"???:shrug:
:buddies:

(because I'm "born and raised")
:yahoo::howdy::buddies:

I think I'm the only person in Southern Maryland who won't eat that crap.

I'd rather get punched in the forehead than eat stuffed ham. :barf: That #### is just nasty.


:smack:I hope the back of the head works as well!:lmao:

My granddaddy use to say "hi-tail" or "hi-tailing it" when he was describing gettin up the road in a fast way...I find myself using that phrase more and more..

hope by christ ta kill me, last week we went down the road ann put the skiff over, did a lil' skulling ann the creek was slick cam'

In River Rat's post I made a Notation on the dialect link that may be of interest, to the 'Nu'uns'.

My daddy was a webfoot, his daddy was a webfoot, and his granddaddy was one too-guess that makes me a webfoot.:dance:

And in Southern Maryland, we locals were "Mudders", now you know why.
