Sweatshirt reminds me of my papaw's stories from elkcorn coal company in Ky!!

Sometimes you got to git acrost first to git o'er yonder.

My Mama was from Rockingham, NC and she used to put T on the end of her words all the time...

You need to keep these coming! I love em' ❤️

We say acrost here in the mountains of NH too😊 brings back sweet memories for me. Thank you for that! All my love and prayers for you and yours, always 💙

Thank you!😊🇨🇦

Just terminally cute!

Here in East Texas you may hear someone say, “..yonder Twix them trees “ instead of, … over there between those trees” 😂😂🤣😜 Congratulations on the Win! 👍👍👍🎉🎊

Sounds like Festus on Gunsmoke.

I live in rural upstate NY (a completely different world from NYC and downstate), and surprisingly there is a Iot of crossover in language between certain rural parts of NY and Appalachia (acrost being one example). I often recognize the words and sayings you reference in your videos because my parents have used or referenced them since I was a child. It's funny, when visiting the rural areas of NY, people from downstate, and much of the younger generation, actually have trouble understanding some of the old timers. Unfortunately the old ways are fading fast, and there is a concerted effort to keep it that way. Modern people just don't seem to appreciate the wisdom and culture of the past. Thank you for all you do to preserve your Appalachian heritage and culture. I sincerely enjoy all of your content, and have so much respect for the way your family so obviously stands apart from the world while still living in it. You folks are an inspiration. Lord bless you!

can't you smell the hickory of the smoke house already

Never heard this one

I just got notice of your great acknowledgment! I'm so happy. Your work is tremendous. The bridge you continuously mend is not the easiest to go acrost. Thank you for all you do. 💕

I wonder if my Mom picked up "acrost" when she lived in Ducktown. Once when we were on a Sunday drive, my father stopped to asked directions from a man who was intoxicated. He said "its this way, but ya gotta cross the crick. " We didn't know what the big deal was with crossing the crick until we saw that there was no bridge, you had to drive acrost it.

That's liablen to catch on

Classic old English. Accrost = a-crossed

I grew up on a small poor town in Minnesota and heard these very same “southern” slang words. I wonder why that it is?

We say acrost in the pines!

Go Elks!!!!

I've always said acrost, but in writing will write it proper "across". 😀

I say acrosst without even realizing it. Another one is saying over yonder. Also saying that fixing to do something.

You forgot to pronounce creek "crick"

In the Ozarks, people say creek. Maybe country people somewhere say crick, but I think it is more of an invention of movies and novelists trying to capture a dialect. But sleek is pronounced slick. I never heard of sleek until after I was old enough to read and saw it in a book, though I had heard slick many times.
