called an old friend up in maine the other day... how's the weather been up there? i asked... oh, she said, it's finer than frog's hair up heah.... three cheers for regional speech, a vanishing treasure!

[lemonette]

I can just HEAR that "heah". Sounds just like the guy on "Murder She Wrote" hehe

I really loved this video. My parents were born and raised in The NC mountains and Georgia, I recognize a lot of those sayings. A favorite of mine was anytime red lipstick was worn my Dad would say " Yore lips look like a fox's ass in pokeberry time ".

[lemonette]

That is a new one, I LOVE it. Thanks!

here's another for the cold weather: "it's colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra!" or "brassiere" lol

[gamingfan1989]

Haha smarter than a tree full of owls

I have the worst (BEST) country accent ever and I still don't have that many southernisms

[thatdumbkid]

Haha... My mom says the "gully-washer" thing. We have our own saying in my family. It goes a little like this: "You ain't got the sense God gave a rock" Obviously, it means you're pretty stupid... I think my mom's sister made it up but we say it as if it were a genuine Southernism. But I reckon that's how the rest were created.

Nice videos, by the way.

I got a real old one that Southerners used to describe a rare occurence, when it's raining, but the sun is peaking through....when that was happening, my daddy used to say, 'the devil is whipping his wife."

I love the South....too bad people don't respect our accents sometimes....when I go north of the Mason Dixon line, it seems like my IQ drops 40 points. :)
