List some words and phrases that might seem like a foreign language to yankees and English speaking foreigners.
1. Fixin' to.......means you're about to do something. I'm fixin' to bust your arse if you don't shut up!
2. Over yonder.....means, not here, but at a different location. I like that fruit stand over yonder at Tillman's Corner.
3. I reckon.....means I suppose or I think. I reckon that tree stump's been there 30 years.
4. Gumption.....means one has courage. Boldness. It take a lot of gumption to wear that tacky hat in public.
5. Mosey......means to leave or to go. Well, I guess it's time I mosey on back to the house.
6. Swig......means to drink rapidly. That boy can swig a beer faster than anybody I've ever seen!
Y'all know any more?

When dating, your holler or mine may be the pick up line but lets be real, your holler probably does not include a daddy with shotgun in hand.

Church: I need to go to my social network.
Lotto: I'm a dumbass who pretends I don't have a gambling problem. That, or I genuinely think god is going to help me because I'm a narcissistic a-hole.
Bless your heart: frick you.
