Southron English 101: 'Cattin Around' and 'Scooter-poopin'

[iiskoalii]

scooterpoopin means partyin lol

[sideslide23]

english 101 is hard ass compare to my old super mario bros for old nintedo.

in this class, the board screen would make it a great practice target for my bb gun, but its a very challengine moving target and I can;t even score a hit, and also a three letter word about english 101, P.O.S. and you would have to pay me to retake this coars again, I'm going into automotive next semester

I hope the South retains their culture. It would be TRULY SAD to see it go the way of the piggish, awkward, progressive mainstream American expression - which gets very tiresome.

Please post more.

[burgerwisdim]

What a beauty RSA. There is an intriguing, somewhat cheeky, mischievous thing about Southern culture that comes thru the language, indeed. Thanks so much for sharing. My dad from south Arkansas was having a hell of a chuckle with a friend over a beer, and I recall him gasping " I haven't had so much fun since the hog ate my baby brother". Also: Damgammit !, shoot, well I say (in admiration), picture show for the cinema place, movie was still a movie. Grandma would say 'that's so dandy'. 5*****

hi, born and bred in upper state s.c., use to play cards with my old uncle he would say "hope" instead of help", like he would give you a card and say "did it hope you any?", some of the fun sayings we use to say was, IF I JUMP ON YOU, YOU'LL BE SAYING Y'ALL GET OFF!, OR YOU WOULD RATHER SANDPAPER A LIONS ASS IN A PHONE BOOTH THAN FUCK WITH ME! OR YOU RATHER JACK OFF A GRIZZLY BEAR WITH A HANDFUL OF GLASS THAN FUCK WITH ME..JUST FUN SAYINGS THATS ALL,from a sons of a confederate veteran

[FatBird11]

Here's another one. If my dad would have a police officer following him, he would say, "I don't know why this cop keeps on "bird doggin" me.

[RichBorris]

Hey RedShirt,

I know that most of your video's are about CSA restoration efforts and there is nothing wrong with that. However I would like to see more fun video's like this one from time to time.

[FatBird11]

That is what my dad would say.

[RichBorris]

It's tighter back here than a bulls ass sewn shut with a log & chain

[RichBorris]

A friend of mine likes to do some shuckin n jive on the CB. He pissed of his boss one time by quoting "Yeah you got me. I've got them balls afloatin with a bear in the air and a smokey on my tail. I got this bitch wide open like a whore on payday knockin at your back door and bringin 'er on home to your mamma. It was a delivery job he hated, and the company didn't exactly have fair treatment for their employees.

[FatBird11]

My mom would make me mad when I was a little boy on occasion. When she did, I would let her know I was mad, she would then tell me, "If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree." She got it from my grandpa JD. My dad did not refer to his grandpa as, grandpa, he said grandaddy.

[RedShirtArmy]

In my family, on my Daddy's said we said 'Granddaddy' and on my Momma's side we said 'Grandpa.' That kept the two distinguishable to us kids. Now that my Daddy's father is gone though we tend to call Grandpa 'Granddaddy' too - it being the more traditional and natural word to South Carolinians.

[FatBird11]

Hey Red Shirt, I thought of another one while I was at work. Maybe you've heard it. After being surprised after seeing someone he hadn't seen in a while he'd say, "Great gobs of goose grease!"

[jmelkis]

This all seemed to differ by family where I'm from, and even in other parts of Dixie. I'm not speaking for everyone, just from my limited experience.

[FatBird11]

When I was a child, my mom would ask me, "What do you think you're doing?" After giving an unacceptable response, she would retort, "I don't give two hoots and a holler what you're doing, you......."

[RedShirtArmy]

'Two hoots and holler' - that's a great one! lol I had forgotten it. My Momma and my Grandmomma used to say that too.

[FatBird11]

The way my parents were, did not have the importance to me when I was younger, as it did when I got older, I started to realize how important heritage is. I recognize now, more than ever, people like all of our ol' parents, are a dying breed. And I'm not about to let it fade. My dad would call a robot, robart. He would say the word siren, sigh-reen. And he pronounced the word light bulb, light bub.

[jmelkis]

Yeah, a lot of people really mistakingly think that people are mispronouncing things, but they aren't really. I know some people say Southerners speak too slowly, but I don't think we speak slower. I think that we have some words with long vowels (as in longer vowel length) like the words "Gawd" (God) or "Dawg" (dog). I think that's why the words get spelled "gawd" or "dawg" to emphasize that longer pronunciation. I'm not a linguist, though.

[FatBird11]

My dad always talked about watching the old B Cowboy "Picture Shows," in Charlotte. He always talked about Gabby Hayes, Tom Mix, Red Rider, Bob Steele, The Lone Ranger et cetera. I have a cool old picture of dad in front of the old Charlotte Junior Optimist Club, on a baseball team. It's from the 40's.

[HeritageNotHateProd]

Nice video, 5 stars!

[DewMan7474]

Great Video.

[stopglobalswarming]

5 stars for the song, Dixie.

[stopglobalswarming]

I found this on Stormfront. I don't like "scooter poopin'" but I have heard "cattin(g) around" for years.

Ya'll have a good one and come on over to Stormfront.

[HeritageNotHateProd]

I'm NOT going "over to Stormfront".

[jmelkis]

I'm not going to Stormfront. You know, many of us proud Southrons are not white. Some of us are black. Some of us are Indian. Some of us are white. Some of us are of biracial backgrounds. St. Andrew's cross is not a symbol of hate, as St. Andrew was a Christian saint, not a hater.

[harley19770]

We use yonder in NC and thay have hillbilly books in the mountains with our ole timmy words in then-deo vindice.and god bless the south and the red shirt army

[GaGirlie777]

I remember cattin around.

There are a lot of differences with some simple words. Like what we call "dinner" the north calls "supper". What we call a "sofa" they call a "couch." Does anyone remember the word "yonder?" Like Look out yonder in the fields? That word is about gone in my area.

[RedShirtArmy]

My family uses yonder. Shakespeare used yonder on frequent occassion. The next time someone makes fun of you for saying yonder start quoting a little Shakespeare for them and put the malcontent and ill-informed invader in their place.

[GaGirlie777]

I didn't know that. Thanks.

[FatBird11]

I remember, before my dad passed away, him pointing at a bug. He told my girlfriend and I, "It's right there, rych yonder." My dad was a Tar Heel. He also told me, one of these days boy, you'll realize, you're daddy's the best ol' pal you ever had. He was right.

[harley19770]

Yep 1/4 of our troops that were at gettysburg was from NC-DEO VINDICE

[14Words4Life]

Every time that some Yankee makes fun of our Southern expressions, they just make our point for us, we are a separate and unique people. We are not like them, and are not a part of the Yankee Nation.

Our Southern Ancestors fought the Second American Revolution for our Independence!

It ain't over till we say it's over!

Deo Vindice!

[CSAfanactic]

North Carolina Rocks!!!! DEO VINDICE!!!!!!

[sparkywundermutt]

My Grand Daddy was a dirty old man and he used to call cattin' around, "goin' out who-er-in". Now, one would think it came from the word "whore" but he pronounced whore much differently than who-er-in.  Don't know if it originated in our homeland but I still thought Id share it with y'all because it would always make me chuckle when he used to say it, God rest his soul. Sorry for the vulgarity folks lol!

[harley19770]

Lot of us still use dem words in NC im very proud of our language thats what makes all us southrons that more special thanks for another great vid-DEO VINDICE-I miss going cattin around y'all be good
