Then you "ain't" ever been behind me at "wal-marts" when I told my husband to go over "yonder" and "git" me one of them there "buggys" cause I'm "fixin" to go do me some grocery shopping:lol::lol::lol:

 

:lol::lol:

 

I bet you also like to go to "the Krogers".:thumb:

Any road off a main road can be referred to as a holler. A holler can also be referenced when describing any relatively short trip from point A to point B. I've actually been quilty of calling an interstate as a holler a few times.

 

EX: Run up the holler to wal-mart and grab me some food.

Sometimes for lunch,I have those little sausages in the can...you know... Vy-eenies...they go good with crackers and a sodie pop.

 

Bologna is officially pronounced Bloney.

 

A prediction of the SLIGHTEST amount of snow is also known as the official call to go to the grocery store and the pharmacy...whether you need anything or not!!!

 

The Sears catalogue is still known as the "Sears and Roebuck Catalogue"...at least until the next edition comes out at which point the older edition becomes known as toilet paper.

 

"Ain't" is considered a part of speech here. Deal with it.

One of the most important things I learned from Kentucky would be that it's not really a party unless some sort of outdoor fire is involved. Thats a big one.

 

Any car problem can be blamed on an alternator.

 

If the area you are heading to has a mall or a movie theater it's referred to as "town".

EX: I've got to run to town and get some christmas shopping done.

 

Old people in Kentucky truly can tell that it's going to rain by the way it smells outside.

 

"Aim to" always replaces "going to"

EX: I aim to go to town today.

 

Directly can be used when describing a short amount of time

EX: I'll be there directly.

 

The word "nary" replaces "not"

EX: I ain't got nary a one'

I know this is supposed to be about Kentucky, but did you know in West Virginia you can divorce your wife and she is still your sister!

 

:laugh: West Virginia and Arkansas............God Bless them

I use the word "reckon" way to much.

 

"You reckon" :lol:

My cousin who is from here in NKY talks about one time when he was in Clay County where we have some relatives, he and my aunt were getting ready to go somewhere and he asks her how far away it is. She replies "Its a fair piece." He asks her how far is a fair piece. She says " O its a good piece down the road there." He starts to get upset because he doesn't understand and says Well how far is this dang place in miles. He cracks me up when he talks about that.

Another thing that just makes me laugh everytime I think about it is one time when I was visiting the relatives in Clay County one of my younger cousins who lived there had a dog and I asked him what the dogs name was. He said the dogs name was Burr. That sounded strange to me so I said what's his name? He says Burr. I looked at him again like he was crazy and said what the heck is that dogs name? He says Burr, B-E-A-R, Burr!

I really "preesheate" all these here funnies.

I've never heard of a shopping cart being referred to as a buggy.

 

Never heard of hot dog suauce, although it sounds like a coney?

 

My family has always referred to law enforcement officers as "the man", but that could be anyone from a state trooper to the security guard at the Florence Mall.

 

Coke/Pepsi are called soft drinks, although I have heard them called pops.

 

 

What a wonderful state we live in.

 

:banana:

Two things that kinda drive me crazy:

"That is a good ideal", instead of "That is a good Idea".

Chimaly, instead of chimney.

 

Haha, my dad says chimaly all the time and it drives me crazy. I always say, what is a chimaly?

Haha, my dad says chimaly all the time and it drives me crazy. I always say, what is a chimaly?

 

I agree, everybody knows there is a B in chimbley. :jump:

The conversation went on for several minutes. The concession stand lady was trying to explain what hot dog sauce was, saying it was a meat sauce that you put on hot dogs. And the Northern lady kept saying why would I want that on my hot dog.

Is this "sauce" the same thing as our Cincy chili, or is it a different product all-together?

 

 

Oh, and I'd never heard the term "buggy" used for anything other than a baby carriage or a dune vehicle until someone posted a regional dialect survey here a few years ago.

 

I don't know if anyone else around here does this, but we've always called them "baskets."

I've learned that in Ky when you take something out of the freezer you "unthaw" it. I thought that meant you were putting it INTO the freezer.

 

That's a good one! Never thought about that.

We invented a new bug called a wasper.....not to be confused with a wasp.
