It's y'all plus three. My husband worked at Pizza Hut for a little while and one night he got mad over something. The one lady that he worked there with him laughed and goes I love when he gets mad cause his accent really comes out. I remember my mom has always had a hard time understanding somethings he says.

When we lived in Missouri I hated to hear his family talking about windows cause it came out winders. Everything else I can deal with and have started saying somethings like them after 3 years I guess I would. I hate winders though. Or my mom who is from here says Chcargo instead of Chicago. I hate that.

He says that things that get a him a strange look are, Pop You'ins, Over Younder, I'll tell ya what

I am sure there are more

My grandparents were from a small town in West TN where everything was in the same direction: yonder. Over yonder, up yonder, down yonder, etc. It was also a vague measure of distance. If we were going out to "eat feesh" (and if you have to ask what kind, you've never been to TN :lmao) at a place "jus up the road aways yonder" it could mean spending anywhere from 15 mins to 2 hours in the car.

And you could holler at someone down in the holler who was sitting on a holler log.

think it evolved like this... "you and *bob"...then "you and" was shortened to "you un" the the "s" was thrown in to account for more than one person you are talking to..."yuns". from there it becomes common slang.

or maybe it was "you and them" turned to "yuns". like "you + all = y'all'


that's just my interpretation.:buddies:

I bust out the "Jesus Mary and Joseph" and get funny looks, though I'm not sure if it's because my Minnesotan accent becomes highly pronounced or if it's offending. It's a standard exclaimation in MN.

Nope is a big MN thing too, instead of saying No.

Actually... watching Fargo a few months ago had me rolling because a lot of those phrases I actually use, it's just that my accent isn't as pronounced.

This is off topic but... when our pastor said "Holy Mary, mother of Jesus" because he got frustrated with something made me give him a blank stare because it was almost like a cuss word for him! To me, it was like he had dropped the F-bomb.

Naw, my mom's family are Maryland born and bred and they all understand "dirty water dog," but I think that might be a Wash, D.C. thing that trickled over. People from DC get it when I say it. My Texas relatives have no idea what I'm talking about, though.

And none of my fam outside of MD and VA have ever heard of scrapple. It only gets worse when I try to explain it to them. "Um...it's like a sausage loaf...for breakfast." Then come the disgusted faces. :laughing:

My mom made scrapple growing up and BF is from S. Cali, his mom made scrapple too. Where is your family from?
