I know exactly how you feel. I'm a Wisconsinite ( originally the Sheboygan area but now live in the Appleton area) married to a guy from Arkansas. When we first got married, I would have to stop and think of what the hell it was that he was trying to say! I'm used to it now. I have finally got him to say cart instead of buggy! Oh and he now calls them soda. Man.... it was aggravating (when we lived in the south) when I'd ask for coke, and would then get asked "what kind of coke?" "Uh.... coke?" Hell there were so many times people would talk to me, and I wouldn't have a clue what they were saying.

Just wanted to be the 200th comment and to say I love mt Southen talkin' ways. Born and raised in the GA.

I grew up in Green Bay grew up and moved to Tennessee, 30 min south of Nashville. Lived there for 9 years. Now I've moved back... And I'm feeling this so hard!!! Lmao can you imagine, I say all the words a yanky says but with a country tone. When I get protective my southern accent comes out and when I get excited or energetic my yank makes an appearance. I love it. The hardest thing for me to get used to was " in a minute, or it'll take a min" a minute could be anywhere from one minute to like many days depending on what your talking about....or warsh. It's a tie.

Oil and tire examples were the biggest surprise to me- WOW Need to visit TN.

Nice video! And remember folks that thing you use to cover your pickup box, in wisconsin it's called a truck topper and in Tennessee it's called a camper shell lol. I'm from wisconsin and just moved to Tennessee and still learning the southern talk

I’m from the Appleton area in wi too! My husband is from bowling green area in Kentucky. I can totally relate to this!!

The hollar comment had me in stitches. Spot on vid from the gent just out of Nashville, so relatable. I wonder if folks up north calls a meat and 3 places that, we do in these parts, or restaurants or diners. Hope there's more like this one as it came on feed, will have to see. If not, plz do include the idea to do more of this sort, to your list of ideas for future uploads. Enjoyed watching, thanks.

I'm from Oak Creek/ Milwaukee/ Wisconsin and I say bubbler and shopping cart.

I'm from the fox valley in Wisconsin and lived down near Chattanooga for about 5 years. This video was awesome because I can hear it. But I call it pop or coke, I do the laundry and it's a drinking fountain. A few other things I kinda switch through.

Great video!!! Laughed so hard 😂

Every summer at Kiddie Korner we had the Doll Buggy Parade. Course mose kids road bikes. It's a bubble. The water bubbles up so you can drink it. It's also what Kohler put on the sides of them when they made them. Soda all day long and if something is in the floor you're gonna need a new floor. I know most of these about how people talk I've been to lost of places in this country. One thing I got from my kids was washing the dishes meant just that. Where growing up it meant clean up the kitchen. I say y'all alot more these days than you guys. Ask him about the U.P. sometime! No one outside Wisconsin knows what that is. Evidently we say milk funny too. I agree with him about the peacan pie though. Hello from Racine!

I had a guy from Illinois ask me if I could hear myself talk. I'm from Alabama and definitely have that deep South accent. What got me was that he was in my neck of the woods when he asked me that. I just said, "you're the one who sounds funny because you're in my territory". My husband is from Illinois. The first time we went shopping I said "I'll get a buggy". He said "what???" I said "buggy". He said "it's a cart, not a buggy". I said "not where I'm from". Funny.....

please do more videos like this! I’m learning English and it was very interesting and helpful for me. Thank you!

My husband is from TN and I'm from WI Fox valley area too!!

I am a native of Columbia South Carolina. I raised my daughter here. My daughter lived in Chicago for 5 years while she worked on getting her bachelor's and Master's. She did have a bit of a Southern accent. Maybe more than a bit for the good people of Chicago. She was dismissed from a job as a waitress in an upscale restaurant because of her southern accent. She would get teased on occasion for terms she used which were different from those of Chicago natives. One example, she said chill bumps and Chicago native said goosebumps. She's a sweet and caring person. I don't think she even knows how to insult someone. Anyway, as a mom, I could see her pain. Anyway, she married a Chicago native and they are happily married with two sons ages 7 and 5. Her husband was able to open an office here in Columbia and continue to work for a company in Chicago. Probably for 10 years now. I suppose we all have and infinity for where we grew up. I'm glad that she came home and that her husband is acclimated to our Southern Culture. I like to hear their 7 year old speak with a Southern drawl. I actually encourage the exaggerated accent for my own entertainment. He makes me laugh a lot. However, I'm not quite sure it's discernible In his everyday speech. Anyway, they have made their home in a university community because they enjoy diversity and wish that their children Learn to enjoy it as well. the public elementary school that they attend has students from all over representing 40 Nations worldwide. they're learning a lot about different cultures and sometimes pass new knowledge on to me. I like to celebrate all languages and cultures.

My family used to set up at the flea market in Crump, TN - and, people there called bags "bags". No one was like "Y'all need a sack for that?" Also, living my life in MS, we called shopping carts "carts" - except those electric ones disabled people ask for, which we call a "zoom buggy".

My boyfriend is from southwest Texas, like on the Mexico border and he always says "get down from the car" instead of "get out of the car." Being from east Texas myself, I have more of a "traditional" southern accent. I used to work in a restaurant during college (in a different region of TX) and people would tell me I had a "Houston" accent, which I didn't know was even a thing... and yes I'm from the Houston area. My roommate in college is from Minnesota and my ex is from Upstate NY so I'd actually picked up some Northernisms from them over the years.

I never thought anything about "fixin' to" until I had an Indian neighbor who pointed it out to me. And calling them all "cokes" is us trying to sound more sophisticated. Until at least the mid-1960's, they were all "sody wadders" (soda waters) .

Y’all are too stinking cute. Here in Louisiana we have a little different Southern slang but a lot of it is the same.

This was so funny!

A sack is made of burlap or some other strong fibrous material woven together. Used to hold feed, grain or potatoes. “The wash” isn’t that popular of a phrase anymore. Started to convert to laundry in the 70’s. We have “Up nort” for any place north of your location. Otherwise it’s “Going to” or “Going down to”.

I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and it sounds so informative and funny at same time. When I speak english i use mix of north and south.

I am from Florida but I live in Wisconsin I still have my southern Ways of speech and when someone says I am going out .I say I am going out and about

Im born and raised Tennessee. Grew up in a very rural town called Sale Creek. It's the last city in north Hamilton county. Hamilton county is the county Chattanooga is in. Now that's a country accent. We don't say sour even like Nashville. The way we say it is like the word mare only with an s is the only way I know how to explain it. Sale Creek Tennessee accent is much like the Appalachian accent of old country folk. At the least the folks who were born and raised there and gave never moved away. And we say bag a lot. Sometimes sack but mostly bag. And they say flowers "flares". And over yonder, yander, and yunder. And up there is shortened to up 'er. My accent isn't 100% sale Creek because I was born in Chattanooga and didn't move to Sale Creek until I was 8. I remember when I was in 5th grade my teacher circled a word I had written in red with an angry face beside it and the correct spelling beside it. The word was backwards and I spelled it "backerds". I never got it wrong again.

You guys, as a fully bilingual French Canadian, is funny how some of the South expressions seemed to have been influenced by the Acadian French from the 1700's. Thanks Y'all!

North Central Tennessee here...say on the floor, put away and puh-can or pee can, cart not buggy, say, up in, to say, in something....it's all over the place....my younger relatives don't have an accent really and I can sound posh for a job interview or something...but if I'm around Southern folks I will get down home...✌

When I lived in Pennsylvania they would say “you’s” instead of y’all. As in , you’s want to go to the lake? Or when you would ask a question about a topic that a person did not know the answer to they would reply with the phrase “ I don’ think”. As in “ well Tom is it time to get the oil changed in your truck? His response, “I don’t think”. As in, I don’t think so, it was just changed not long ago. Crazy stuff like that.
