"Can you carry me to the store"

Never heard that til I moved to the south.

edited to add: Where else do they call pop soda??



Don't forget to pull the door to when you leave.

And you can either cut the lights on or cut them off - but don't just leave them there.

I'm skeptical. To a true Southerner, I thought "pop" and "soda" were technically "Coke."



Are you going to run to the store and get a coke?

Grab me one would you? Sure, what kind do you want.

Can't believe no one has said this one.


" All ya'll " seems like one or the other would do. ;)



Y'all = 1-10 people
All y'all = the group of people.
More than 10people = A mess of people

"Bless your heart" means, "Wow, your poor soul, you're a fucking idiot and this is the nicest way to put it."

"Yonder" - it's a location. Only when you REALLY begin to fit in will you figure out where "yonder" is.

Ya'll is a given.

A hissey fit is nothing...however a coniption fit will fuck you up if someone't having one and you are the brunt of the force.

Shit a brick, build a house or shit fire, save matches. Kinda like sayin, "well i'll be damned" or "They're gonna freak out"...depending on context. It actually goes to show that we as southerners are conservationists at best. Fuck being green, we'd rather save bricks and fire for more destructive purposes...so we shit them instead...

Iuno and Iuncare are expressions of energy conservation. Take 3 words and muddle them into one...saves time for other shit talking.

will continue later.

Thanks DD for leaving me hangin!!

Last time we did night jumps here in Polk County, I was the designated "run to the store and get some beer" bitch. I've had a belly full of night jumps, so that wasn't a problem. This is what I heard that evening...

"Hey Bubba, djoo see that moon out t'night? She's dam shore shinin' like a diamond in a billy goat's ass."

Speaking of... where's BillyVance? His silence today is near 'bout deafenin'. Prolly that new young'un.
