  • Love your videos! Are you by chance from Rome Georgia?

  • "Some COUNT???" I've never heard that shit, and I'm old school from Tennessee. And who the fuck has the patience to sit through 6 minutes of this nonsense?

  • love your videos.

  • I heard your name in Beth's video and decided to check out your channel. You are HILARIOUS!!! I am definately going to be watching a lot more of your vids....time allows.

    The fixin' to is my favorite because I am a transplant in KY and when I first heard that phrase from my husband's family I kept thinking what were they going to fix? LOL

  • Is ur name really LEMONETTE?

  • Well, "Butter my butt and call me a bisquit!"...I jes' LOVE Lemonette!

  • I am sitting here laughing til I cry I am sharing you wilth my friends God bless

  • I love your videos  :D

  • i like yo tits girl

    

  • I have heard my great, grandmother use this southernism "something ain't no count"

    Have you heard the southernism "grub" instead of the word "food" ?  I miss my "Maw" and her very southern language. Thank you Lemonette for bringing back a nice memory!

  • are you in a car?

  • U suk donky ananius

  • Oh, goodness. You make me so happy, like a second mother -3

  • Wow, I haven't heard "that ain't no count" down here in Texas. Makes me feel like using it, though, ha ha.

    Just started watching your videos and I love watching them, you're great!

  • Hi Lemonette. I've heard "that ain't no count" down here a zillion times, but I'm not sure I've heard "that's some count". I never realized that only southerners said "I'm fixin to go to the store" or wherever until I was in the navy, and one of the yankees had to gripe about it.  I'm with you, that's good talking and to the point.

  • Lemonette - you are a hoot! I just discovered your videos! You are one very cool lady - don't ever change a thing about yourself!!!

  • why didn't you say 'hey y'all'??!!?

    i miss it when you don't say it :P

  • Where abouts in America you from, Lemonette?

  • Don't like collard greens?! Man, I can put my foot in some collard greens! (heh, another southernism)

    And I say 'finna' all the time. Yay Alabama!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm southern and I LOVE turnip greens. Much more so that collards, but still. You had me rolling when you said, "there's something not right about turnip greens" hahaha.

    And the "fixin' to go somewhere" thing is so true. I got teased so hard when I moved up north and said stuff like that. Yes, I know it's not proper grammar, but do I care when I'm in the company of others who understand me? Nope.

    Keep on doing what you do Lemonette, you rock!

  • That Ain't NO COUNT! lmao

  • "There's something not right about turnip greens" ---

    That was funny ---- nice delivery. This southern boy likes them though.

  • Here's a southernism for the kids to scare them into doing the right thing.--"If you don't do what I tell you to do I'ma gonna snatch a plug out of you!"

  • my grandma used this phrase when something was good(food)--" you put yo food in this!"

    I still use it and these folks here in WA still don't understand what I'm saying. lol!

  • Being from 'Bama, I can appreciate this. :)

    If it was my last day on earth, my last meal would include banana pudding!

    I don't like turnip greens either, but I love collards, oh and buttermilk cornbread, sweet potato casserole, fried okra, fried green tomatoes, red velvet cake, etc.

    I use 'fixin' all the time...and  we also say, "I'm gonna CARRY my wife to work," for "I'm gonna DRIVE my wife to work."

    And 'hosepipe,' for hose.

  • Hey L!!

    Brad from Tennessee here in Tokyo - Happy here, but you sure make me homesick! Would give anything to bring you some real maters and okry - you deserve that and more...

    Love You Like Crazy,

    B

  • HOLY FUCK

  • I think you are the tops. God Bless you lemonette and your family as well.

  • i totally say that aint no count or that person aint no account...or thats some count right there i love you lemonette

  • you are so funny where do you get these words from?

  • pardon me.... lmao

  • i'm fixin to go watch the rest of your videos ..

  • I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!! thank you so much!

  • she lives in a van down by the river !

  • LMAO 0:08

  • sometimes we say,. im fixin to go..... but mostly we say I'm gettin ready to go (Minnesota)

  • That's interesting. I grew up in Alabama but never heard "count". I'll have to ask my grandmother if she knows that one.

    I've been in California for years but I still say "fixin' to". You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl. :)

  • I love your videos and I subscribed today! You are so entertaining and lovable! What's funny is that there are lot of "Yankees" like myself from Ohio and other "northin'" parts who say they're "fixin'" to go somewhere & other southernisms. I think it's more of a country thing, though. My family had a farm, and strangers in OH ask me if I'm from the south. I say "Yeah, southern 'hia!" LOL! I'm not officially southern, but I grew up on the border of northern Kentucky, where I got my "draw".

  • you're not in your thunderbird?

  • turnip greens are delicious if they are cooked right with vinegar...try it with mashed potaters and dressin' mmmmm and mabey some cranberry sauce too... ok now im hungry

  • Howdy Lemonette! I am Roberto and I am 40. I am Italian but I was born and raised in Switzerland. I love all the English accents and I am so crazy about the Southern Accent. I came across your videos only today and I am so happy, because by watching them I can improve my southern accent (or rather an Appalachian southern accent). May I ask where you are from, just to locate your accent? Are you from Tennessee? Which part of the State are you from? North, south, east or west? Thank you so much!

  • I'm looking at your old videos and I have to say, I think you have a GREAT point of view. Now, I'm fixin' to go to my folks house. So, I'll be away from the Internet all weekend. I'm glad I saw this send me on my way.

  • Lemonette I enjoyed your talk about us Southerners and yes I enjoy your videos. Take care and keep up the good work!!

  • Yes...we say something is "no count" or that's Larpin (don't know why)or "that's pretty good hoggings' mater!

  • Oh No! Lemonette's car is submerged in the river! ={ }

  • THIS VIDEO SURE IS SOME COUNT!!

  • Lemonette you are my hero. I will try my best to incorporate "count" on a regular day to day basis. And thanks for directing me to Tube Granny.

  • Eww no. Turnip greens and collards too.

    Smell just like farts.

  • Lemonette, do you ever say "purt neart" to mean "almost"? Or if something is far, it's "fer" or "a fer piece"? I'm from WVa and that's how my family talks.

  • Hey Lemonette, love the shows, hey just a little fyi, people up north say "I'm fixin to go somewhere". expecially if you live in small rural towns

  • Hey Girlfriend!

    I have a Southernisms for you. "That man is richer than four foot up a mules ass" Now that's rich!

  • what about tarnation!

  • Very funny!!! I love it!

  • hehe nice vid but for me if i get something REAL good ill go dang that was finger lickin good!

  • You mean they don't say fixin' everywhere?! I'm in the south too (Tennessee to be exact) and fixin is all I've ever heard..

  • Dear TubeGranny, I myself am a southerner, I was wondering if you have wver heard of the term "Devanette" my mamaw would always call the couch a devanette!!!! Hope all is well, and hope to see more of you!!!

    Scott

  • hmmmmmmm 5:45 of talking about....sayings for food...?

  • You're right never heard the 1st one and as far as "fixin' to go.."

    "I'm getting ready to go" or "planning on going"...I love your vids..it's refreshing to hear your thoughts, I'm from Northern CA and it is VERY different, my friend. xo your latest subsriber....

  • shoot! darlin', i luuuuv u!

  • Ah! Lemonette! i love you!

    i wish you were my grandma!

  • I had never heard "Fixin" until I came South. I love the Southern Lingo... Like "As nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockers."

    Where in the South are you? I am in Alabama

  • Hm...We say "it was of no account". But I've never heard it said as just "count". We also say "fixing". ^_^

  • Hey Lemonette! Just subscribed and FINALLY found out who you were through Andrews videos of the southTube gathering.

    My family grew up using "that's count" instead of "That's some count".. same thing though. We also say "Over air" meaning It's over there.

    Keep up the great work!

  • Hi Lemonette! My Fiance who LOVES YT found you one day and we have watched you ever since!:)i am about to be deployed overseas for 15 months and marrying my soulmate and best friend Jenny this month. She will have to be alone our first year of marriage. I did a video on here trying to win a digital camcorder so I can send her videos You win by getting the most comments! If you have time, I would appreciate a good comment! I will post the video link in your responses! Thanks and God Bless!

  • love it :) southernisms ~ here is a brookpark ohio thing i say ~pop~ aka soda my grandma used to say sidie pop lol people pick on me all thetime for using pop who knows where it came from but it is pop to me. Maybe it is because when you open a can it pops?? or when we used to have glass bottles you opened it withthe opener and it popped ??? oh well nice to meet ya and i luv real southern lemonade

  • Ain't that the truth hon. I went over yonder yesterday and didn't find nary a thang I was lookin for but that's all-right I'll get it tommorrow. Hi Lemonette, Love your videos. I'm A Southern gal too coming to you from South Carolina. It's not us that talks funny, it's the others that have the accents. Much love and peace, ya'll come back now, hear?

  • "I don't know how you talk if you don't say you're fixin' to go somewhere"

    lol I LOVE YOU OKAY!!!

  • Thats so true Lemonette! I always say... Im fixin to go out! You described it perfectly, you arent on your way yet, but your fixing to go! I hate collard-greens too, it tastes like it shouldnt be eaten by humans...maybe cows.

  • OMG I am your newest fan Lemonette. I am from up in the hills of TN. Been here 11 yrs. My best friend is born & bred in C'ville. Not a week ago I said sumthin about "was something any count" And we were remarking how we are the only ones we know who said that...Whoopee...someone else who talks like us! Another one I like is if ya say something is "hainted" or the "haints are a flittin"..with Halloween coming up we are liable to see a bunch of haints *grins* Love your vids!

  • hahaha.

    you're great.

    :D

  • hhahahahahahaha

    you my friend are a ledgend

  • You are sooo my hero. :)

  • I like to say one of my Gramma's favorites, "Oh My Stars!"

  • you are just rat cute as a button,Lemonette!!!

  • Ahahaha! "There's something... not right about turnip greens"

  • I think lemonette drove off the road and don't want to tell us she had :P

  • Can I adopt you into my family? You ssssssooooooooooooooo belong "amungst" us southerners. I love your videos. You remind me in looks and voice of my aunt Joyce, who happens to be one of my most "favoritest" people on earth. Keep the videos going. I look forward to more of them. My daughter got me hooked on youtube . (fallinbabyblues)She has a few videos on here of my grandson . Anyway, I have digressed too much. Love ya. We have a branch on the family tree waiting just for you. fallingypsy

  • im from georgia and i get picked on all the time for saying "fixin to."

  • I'm so glad I finally watched one of videos. I've been on utube about a month and have been working my way around. I watched some nutcheese and nalts last night, that's how I found you. Oh, one question; have you explained what "Bless your heart" means. I've lived in the south for 15 years and a friend explained it to me after I lived here for about 7. She said they wanted to make sure I was going to stay. Lol. Take care.

  • kewken i rauva

  • I ust got back from visiting my mom and grandmother in Savannah last week. They live on the landings on Skidaway Island. Is that near you? It's SOOOOOOO pretty there!

  • Hi. I was looking at some nalts vids and I heard him mention your name. I vaguely recalled seeing a vid you did aa while back about the prom. I liked it and commented on it. I am only now realizing what youtube's all about and I think it's great you are so well-loved. I like you too, and enjoyed listening to your voice and mannerisms.

  • Wow, my first video of Lemonette it won't be my last and I will subscribe. It will help me to understand my sister's new boyfriend who is from Gastonia, South Carolina. I am ordering a web cam and I definitely will upload videos. My son is a professional videographer and when I told him my plans he seemed a little "put off" by it.

  • Well, come on down and join us crazy people! We always have a good time. Let me know when you post a video so I can watch!

  • Yup we've already got a granny... but you look alot like my real life granny.... Shes passed away but its funny how much you remind me of her!! 5*'s ~HiGH HeaD JeSTeR~ RIP Granny Annie!!

  • Well that was pointless, maybe get a job and contribute to society/engage in sexual activitys with a relative. The only thing i learnt from that was 'can't stop flappin' it', other than that it was boring as fuck. Emily and Kelsey also need to get jobs maybe instead of sitting infront of a monitor- thats a computer screen by the way,incase you you haven't been taught that word yet-waiting for some 'shout out'. So in summary of what i have said, >umm< FUCK YOU. Bye Bye.

  • So... you are at home sitting in front of a computer writing inane comments on a video that nobody forced you to watch.

    And what I do is pointless???

    Alrighty, then.

  • @bumcheeseboggies

    If you listen till the end you'll hear why Southerners are some of the best people on earth. Kind, and genuinely concerned for the well-being of strangers.

    We don't see you needing help and step over you on our way to Starbucks round here...we take you home and feed you. :)

    You're sweet Lemonette. And haters can just go back to their IPods and skinny jeans and toss that annoying bang out of their eyes for the 1000th time today.

  • I grew up sayin " this sure is Larpin" for something that tastes real good.

  • Oh my God! I grew up in Chattanooga and had relatives in Rock Springs and Rome. I heard all these phrases growing up.I just discovered your videos, my dear. Thanks for the memories and the laughs! LOL

  • Hi Lemmonette - I'm a new subscriber so I'm going back to your early videos to get a foundation. I grew up in New Orleans so it's not as typically Southern. I've never heard or used the term "count." Thanks for sharing that - If I ever hear it, I'll know what it means. Also fixing or fixen is not used in New Orleans either but I've heard that one before. Thanks for your postings. I'm a Nalts fan too....Glad that he's crazy about you.

  • Count is actualy what you do with numbers..........and fixen is not a word...........so breath in get your brain some oxygen and say Uhm for about an hour!

  • "breath" in???? Don't you mean "breathe" in? The most ignorant people are the ones who can't accept the fact that people in different cultures can be as "smart" as they are. Southern people are not stupid....just a little more colorful than most.

  • 25 times, You said "Uhm" 25 times in a time span of 5:45,................WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE? Did you trade in your southern burning cross for a video cam? Hey i know what else cant stop flapping beside your tongue....................your neck flap. Zing x 1000

  • The word "um" was addressed in another of my videos. You are more than welcome to watch that video before proceeding. I'll wait..........okay, the word "um" is what is called a placeholder. A word used to help one sort their thoughts. Perhaps if you ever had more than ONE thought, you might need to use the word occasionally. Zing to the nth degree, SUCKAH!

  • your an idiot........................n­th degree?

  • Thanks for reinforcing my point.

  • How many times can you say "Uhm"? Do people in your town even have computers?

  • See below. Thank you.

  • Love your videos. Your a breath of fresh air.

  • ur a breath of fresh air lemon , I strongly encourage you to keep on goin

  • I'm fiddin to watch episode 2! lol.

  • your lips kinda look off... good video! oh instead of "fixin to go somewhere" i say im off to somewhere. im from southern california

  • Is that car also your house?

  • Lemonette.....I love ya darlin. Your the best!

  • You are awsome for posting this. Everyone down where im at in Alabama including my family uses these terms including my mom.

  • Oh cool!

    I know someone who's southern and she uses some really unusual terms, But thanks so much for sharing these. :)

  • Its a river, and yes, you can fish....but I don't think that I would eat anything that you caught. We have some issues with pollution due to industrial dumping for YEARS.

  • Did you drive your car into a lake?

  • Lemonette, you are great. Your video's make me lonesome for home. When people on here make fun of you, let it run off you like water off a duck's back.

  • daaaaaaaaaaaang u 2 igh3 =

    ]do=

  • thats what I'm talking about!

  • Lady you're cool...

    lol it's kinda funny that she does some vids in her car. I could imagine her being in the middle of speaking saying "yeah anyway we southerners have a lot to say on youtube".. blah blah blah and all of a sudden someone comes carjacking her. Or runs up and smashes their face to the window.

    But we wouldn't want that to happen. Anyway like the vids. I'm from the Northeast of the U.S. I love Southern people I absoloutely looove the way they talk lol.

  • Im southern too. It annoys me how people think were so stupid. @.@

  • are you fixin to go and admit yoself into the looney bin??

  • Around here we call it the nervous hospital

  • your avoidin the question. are you fixin to go and admit yoself into the nervous hospital ??

    Where in the South are you from?

  • Where in the hell are YOU from?

  • lol

  • The southern terms are so different from the Northern terms. I remember my friend Adam moved to South Carolina and he didn't no he had to say 'Yes Ma'am' to his teacher. She got really angry. But up here we don't have to say it.

  • Lemonette, love your videos you need to do more.

  • yes heard the 'count thingy 'aint no count' never the twain shall meet ?are the neurons misfiring /fixin' to go somewhere/ the most important musle is the brain it is also the most dangerous/love ya Lemmonette I am new so if i seem dorky its cuz i am

  • I am southern as well. You make me smile and laugh. I love it and love you..

  • yeah i totaly agree on you about saying im fixen to go....lol it does sound lame any other way you put it! :)

  • Lord love you, Lemonette! I am a 43 year old English teacher born and raised in NC, with a long-gone grandmother and 82 year old Daddy from Banks County, GA. What you say warms my heart. I tell my students to never be ashamed of their Southern accent: it is a noble part of our heritage, derived from the dialects of Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and England. Thank you for speaking in our "Native Tongue"!

    BTW, L- ever hear someone say that something "Stinks like kyarn"?

  • My momma said that all the time. :)

    You are absolutely right, we should be proud...I know I am!

  • Lemonette I love your videos, I am all the way from Sydney Australia, and your work gave me the courage to also post...keep up the excellent work, Love it.....big hugs.....Aurora xxxxxxxxxxx

  • Thanks for the kind words. Hugs right back at you. :)

  • :) nice of you to respond

  • This is a new one to me Lemonette,my mom and all of her people were raised here in Georgia. I want to do a response to you on this topic. lol Have you done Swanee yet? lol

  • I don't think so! I always heard momma say "well, I swan" I have no idea what that actually meant...but now I say it too. :)

  • lol it is southernese for "I swear" Its "I swanee" instead of "I swear" lol

  • My Mom's favorite Southern expression is..

    Butter my Butt and call me a Biscuit!

  • Hi lemonette I know you have been asked this to death..But indulge a newbie Please.. Why are so many of your videos made in your car? Is it your trademark?

    Have you ever been stopped by cop for filming while driving ?

  • After watchin' this video, I'm fixin' to subscribe, lemonette. I'm with you on cooked greens :P I do like most of them raw, though.

  • Lemonette, My grandmother ran a drive in from the 30's here in Washington NC and says she invented the chili dog. Here's the recipe. She used gound sirloin, tomato puree, chili powder, and onion salt. I am going to make some this afternoon to go to a church hamburger and fun night tonight. She would cook it down and scoop the fat off in the morning. It was Carver's Drive In and was before Hardees.

  • im fixin to eat some grits that some count so is banana puddin

    ye haw rome rocks i live in tn

  • you know my mama raised us that if we couldnt say anything nice shut up!!!!!

    And i love home made banana pudding.

    Grady:)

  • no worries...I am here to have fun!

  • hick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hehe

  • its no Southernisms. its just plain old fucken hick.

  • Well look at you right now you seem to be working on your reputation...Putting nice people down like lemonette!

    I know you arent going to listen to this person are you lemonette? I sure am not.

  • listen to what?? :)

  • She is a fuckin' hick! Like we Southerners need given an even worse reputation, shit making us all look like hicks! shit woman. And you don't look like your "excersizing all the time".

  • DOnt mouth off to lemonette she is the best!

  • lol--im a southerner--and i HATE greens too. I often say"jeet?" and people look at me odd.

    glad to run across this-xcellent!

  • you hick. this video shouldn't be called "Southernisms with Lemonette," it should be called "Hicking it up with Lemonette"

  • I really get on your nerves, don't I?

  • no your just a dirty hick. I surprised you have a computer. do all the hicks you know have one?

  • it should be "you're" just a dirty hick :)

  • nice changing the subject.... i ask you do all the hicks you know have a computer?

  • My hearing is perfect, just like my judge of character.

  • My hearing is perfect? what the fuck are you talking about its on the computer. you dirty hick. I think you need thicker glasses. can you afford them?

  • I love it when I start getting the very reaction from a hater that they wanted to get out of me. Why don't you just try chilling out a little and "live and let live"? It sure is a lot less stressful than all that anger you seem to have inside.

  • Hey thanks for sharing this. From over here (Australia) I would never have known you said 'That's some count' & 'I'm fixing to go'. I'd never heard those expressions. I'm sure we have some 'pearlers' over here too. I know the Irish say 'I'm after doing something' to mean they've just done it...I think. Lol

  • did you swerve off the road and into a lake? xD

  • She was belching and lost control of the car.

  • i bet your poop smells good- u are a southern lady just as i

  • like roses

  • Lemonette, you are awesome! you really are some count gurrrrrl. Thanx for making us all feel like you are right there. For anyone who is a hater or would be hater -- back off! If you have time to be negative about Lemonette then you are not using the minutes of your life wisely. Go help a kid ride a bike or learn to shoot hoops instead. Shout out from Los Angeles - we love you Lemonette!

  • you're sweet. I love your videos.

  • to poltronafrau...maybe u should think about why YOU did respond to the video...LOL

    lemonette is just a woman who speaks her mind..nothing else..and i love the way she is doing that.

    and that has nothing to with beeing fat or thin..but ur comment just shows that u have to grow up in ur head..cuz beeing fat doesn`t mean someone is a bad, boring or w/e person... :)

  • we say , 'mmm, that wa so good it'll make ya want a slap yo mama' shout out to Fayeteville,NC aka Nocalina

  • Yay, Fayetteville, NC! Fay Native here!

  • wur you from baby?

  • I am an Iowan from birth and my brothers say, "fixin to go." Also being an Iowan I did not grow up on collard, mustard and other greens. But I love them! Especially the kind cooked all day with some sort of ham product. LOL Susan Northerner through and through but I would love to be a Southerner even if only for vacations. :) God Bless you too, Lemonette! Susan

  • Just love your your viedeos, you count, on ah count your good

  • the only people that reply to this mail with GOOD VIDEO are even fatter then limofatty

    you sure feel important with your useless videos, good

  • I suppose that means that you feel somewhat unimportant considering you took the time to comment

  • Poltronfrau, her videos arent useless they bring humor to peoples lives. the world lacks people like lemonette. now, if you would be so kind as to research new ways to insult people because the fat thing is getting old. late reply to that comment, i know but people like Poltronfrau wind me up something rotten!

  • howdy lemonette!!

    i was laughing my ass off while watching ur video!!

    i am from germany and my second home is ft.smith/AR..and i am just luving it there and the ppl..and the southern language there. ;)

    YOU GO GIRL!!! yeeeehaaw!

  • Boy I sure got a kick out of listening to you. You are real and sweet. Thank you for making me laugh, it felt real good. I love words and I really love country colloquil-isms.
