Apple=fruit is very interesting. Before the French conquered England in 1066 AD, apple was just the old english word for all fruit in general.

Also I watch a LOT of shows like Andy Griffith, and Beverly Hillbillies where this is just their common language, so it sounds totally normal to me.

Lol! I loved Katie's moth story. 😆 In New England we used "wicked" the way you use "mortally". "We had a wicked good time at the party. They served wicked good pie. The walk home was wicked cold, though." Having lived in Texas until I was 12, though, I could not stop saying "ya'll". I say them in the same sentence now and then. Here in Seattle, that gets some looks. I miss both the northern Maine accent, and the southwest Texas one. And I miss living in the country side, with country folks! We have wicked bad traffic here, ya'll!

Keep up the GREAT content, y'all REALLY inspire a whole lotta regional pride! God bless y'all!!!

Good time on the quiz girls! Speaking of traditions, I noticed Katie not only wears a wrist watch (rare today) but on her right wrist. This was a common tradition years ago that women wore a watch on their right wrist and men on their left. I remember my mom telling me this many years ago when I was a youngster. Most women now wear a watch on their left wrist like men, if at all. lol.

What lovely, delightful, intelligent women. How blessed they are to be your daughters and based in the mountain culture.

You know the thing I like the most about these. And even the accent challenge. Sure they have the words. But I like the interim where people are just talking as they normally do on a daily basis. To me that's what truly brings out the accents from different regions. Because I've noticed people have a couple different ways they talk usually. If it's a formal or if you think about it too much people tend to tone down their accent. But if you get them to not thinking about it their accent and dialect come right back out.

Loved this! I'm a new subscriber & I grew up with so many of these words! I live in a very small town in Southwest Virginia & I miss hearing my momma & daddy talk about their lives growing up!

I grew up heading these words( I’m from E.Tennessee ) I think it’s a real shame you don’t heard them so much anymore. I love your channel watching takes me back in time.Keep up the good work.Thanks Miss Tipper you are a treasure.God Bless!

So interesting how language changes. It is important to agree on definitions of words during conversations these days to avoid misunderstanding each other. For example: a person says, “I’m fixing to go.” And a person who only understands “fixing” to mean “repair” would not understand what “to go” is and how to repair it. I travel a lot and I often restate what people are saying to me in the form of a question to be clear we are on the same page, in a friendly way of course and this has cleared up a lot of potential problems. Everyone is taught different languages in the USA. We have college graduates that speak something far different than what I was taught. The important thing is that we take the time to understand their thoughts rather than the words they actually use.

I love to watch the girls express themselves. Katie keeps me laughing with her honest and funny answers.

Thank Y’all! This was “awful”(very) fun! I haven’t heard so many of these words in years. Someone else mentioned, it was like spending time with my Mama and Daddy again. You are such a sweet and good hearted Family.🤗🤗🤗

Love these vocabulary tests! And the sibling rivalry in giving the answers. I remember a lot of these words from my grandparents and great-grandparents.

I love these tests and getting to hear from the girls. They are sooo funny. I like it whenever you have members of the family in the videos. Words and language are such a big part of whatever culture you come from. I notice that when I'm in big groups of people from all over that I automatically trust and drift to the folks who speak like I do.

I like Katie's flint rock answer lol Cyarn was one of my mother's fav words. Yes we need more of these type video, tis a joy to watch.

I was born in WV, and raised till I was 6. My family still lives there, hearing yalls voices just takes me home.

If only you had made these vids a few years earlier. I could have shared them with my grandmother before she left us. My grandparents were born and raised in the Westbourne to LaFollette areas of eastern TN. Nanny was 96 when she passed but her mind was sharp as a tack and I'm sure she would have known a lot of these. One on my favorite words that she used often was 'Yuns', as in "Yuns come back again". I made the trip to Scotland for a friend's wedding in 2019 and while conversing discovered 'Yuns" is a word still in use over there. It was great to see the connection of the early Scottish/ Ulster Scots settlers or Appalachia and Scotland today. Keep up the good work!

My two girls are itty bitty right now but I love to see your girls do stuff like this together and it makes me look forward to seeing mine grow up. Blessings!

We use most of these words in my area. I love how we talk. Everyone at work laughed at me one day though. I told a client to just “ mash “ the button and take a ticket. I explained you could take a girl out of the country, but not the country out of the girl. My sister even makes up new words. Her college professors would challenge her to find the words in the dictionary, but we just have our own little family language. It is nice to have inside joke words only we know. I have definitely heard my mom call me a heifer once when I was being stubborn. In my childhood the worst thing a Southern woman could be called was an old biddy or a hussey. Those were fighting words for sure. Hope the rest of your week runs smooth. Enjoyed the lesson.
