Oh! and Kids.. I was told that is improper why to speak of your children unless you are a Nannie Goat... I still haven't learned that.
Does anyone else have a strange wording..or improper things they say?
PascosGirl replied: I can't say water correctly. I say it like this: warter. lol I don't know why.
mammag replied: I don't but my mom drives me crazy with her country girl talk sometimes.
She's always "wersh"ing something (washing)
Here's one we all joke about in the family.....she says
"I swan to goodness"......????? How the heck do you swan to anything let alone goodness. She uses this like someone would say "I sware to God". I don't know if she says it so she's not taking the Lords name in vain or what. Weird...
If there's a bumpy road my parents call them rolly coaster roads.
Creek is Crick
Just weird stuff like that.
TANNER'S MOM replied: My Granny used to say ..I'll be swam...
As in ..I'll be dang..
Why I have no idea.
I say wersh too..and we don't have Laundry Detergent. we have wershing Powders
And no wash clothers..wersh rags
mammag replied:
Hmm... maybe she is saying swam. I'm going to ask her to write it out for me sometime and then tell her to explain it to me. 
 wershing powders & wersh rags!!!!! My mom says those to! Where did you're granny live?
My mom grew up in the KY, WV, Southern Ohio area.
TANNER'S MOM replied: We are all from Arkansas here.
ammommy replied: I'll admit that "all y'all" has come out of my mouth and I'm not even southern! But my best friend is and I used to work for a company based out of Birmingham Alabama. That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it 
kit_kats_mom replied: we say "cheese & grits!" in lieu of Jesus Christ when making an exclamation
I also try to say "sugar" instead of "s#$!"
wheedle for peeing as in "I need to go wheedle"
eliminate instead of puke or barf...just sounds more polite to me
I was raised by a potty mouth & it rubbed off on me but I try really hard to not swear anymore.
eta: one of my all time favorite, and frequently used, sayings is "I'm sweating like a whore in church".
oh, and I say y'all all of the time
TANNER'S MOM replied: Ya'll.. I didn't even mention that because I never thought of it as something that we shouldn't say...
You know my aunt is the same as ..That ain't really may dad's sister.

My2Beauties replied: I say y'all all the time! I use the word a'int constantly. I'm from Ky but I"m in the Northern part in the city so I don't speak that much country, but our family in Leitchfield Ky...boy do they sound country!
What y'all doin' herre?
No they ain't messin' in that therre creek back therre!!!
Stuff like that - I feel like I have arrived at the Beverly Hillbillies House 
Mel I would love to hear you talk then! Words and sayings like that remind me of a much simpler time, my dad's stepmom (whom I've known my whole life) talks that way to..winder, tater, etc...and it reminds me of when I was a little kid and would stay over there, things we so innocent back then! They lived in Shepherdsville, Ky! It's a sweet memory!
Boys r us replied: I'm SOOOOOOO BLONDE!!!! I understand now!
Josie83 replied: Wel I think its probably best i don't get started on this . . . I'm sure you can all pick up most of the weird things I say anyway!  xx
jdkjd replied: Well, I'm southern, so I say all of the usual things plus
"fixin'" to do something
y'all
my grandma calls "Shrimp" - "Srimp"
I sometimes call them Skrimps
A&A'smommy replied: I talk like Jenn LOL EXACTLY like that ya'll is my favorite and I'm TRYING not to say fixing mostly because it drives me crazy but other than that I'm VERY southern
TANNER'S MOM replied: fixin too..and done did
I was fixin to cook supper, but Randy done did...
Oh I was just fixin to make a mess of green maters for supper,
lololololol
JetsMama replied: I am from Texas so I too say "Yall and fixin to". My Mama still lives in West Texas so her accent is pretty thick. She says Wal Marts instead of Wal Mart, we all crack up. And a lot of people do this but she is contantly getting idea and ideal inter mingled. She will say " I have a great ideal" And wow that is an idea situation. We always correct her but to no avail. I am fixin to go put my "kid" down for nap.
