Done!!!! Whew! That was feaking damn close!

Who knows what dirty stuff is in there

It would have been close, real close...but I think my mother in way woulda beat ya. Real close though. Ain't no accountin for accents though: "Re-MO-te Cont-ROLLLLLLLLL"

Yup, that's not the lightning round. That's just actual lightning coming through central Alabama right now as we speak. 😬

Just don’t get a skeeter on your Peter, it could turn out bad.

Oh my goodness yes! I recognize that as a legit way to say mosquitoes because I've heard it so much.

I call em skeeters.

I'm from South Jersey and I call em skeeters! 😅

Mah-Skeeta

I’m rolling 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Eh... Not really. I mean my great grandparents talked like that, we made jokes about it. Asking great grandmother if she wanted us to meet her at "Chic-a-fils" but I was none the less born and raised Southern and I say all those names correctly. I also refer to soda generically as soda, but also rarely generically cause I'll just call it by brand. I've never met someone under the age of like 70 that REALLY did this stuff anymore, and I think the existence of search engines is a major factor in that as it sorta forces you to use less local only nomenclature

​@@Darthquackius You are so amazing. We all aspire to be more like you.

​@@Darthquackius you're card has been pulled ya heathen gtfooh,sheesh loser

I never heard of 'Belk' stores, but the instant that sign was on the screen, my head said 'Belks'. I was thinking 'CoCola' before he even showed the picture. We always said 'cokes'. "Go to the store and get some cokes." "What kind?" "Oh, some 7-Up and Dr. Pepper."

I love that book!!

I have that book! And it’s true!

I want to read that. My moms father is from Illinois but my dads family are all from Texas or Appalachia. Once we were working outside making piles of wood we had chopped. My Yank grandpa (who was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home by a couple who escaped the Holocaust) was trying to help. He asked where he laid his gloves down (he couldn’t find them. My brother Ranger told him that he “thought he saw them catywampus to the pack that was sigoggling”. My grandpa stood there looking at him like he was an alien. That night told my mom (jokingly, I think) that not only could she not give her children proper names but we don’t even speak English. My mom objected (jokingly) and my grandpa pointed to my sister Meadow saying “she’s named after a field of grass”, pointing to my brother Canyon said “he’s named after a prehistoric geological land formation”, pointed to Colt and said “this one after a young male horse” and pointed to Ranger saying “this one is named after an armed law enforcement officer” (his full name is Ranger Blade). He then said, why couldn’t you given them normal names like Rueben, Zalman, Elimeloch, Levi, Dovid, Ester, Mordechai or Hymen”. At which point Ranger makes the ASL for a part of a girls anatomy and begins to protest, my dad points to him and said “My belt loops are about to start crackling” (an idle threat, usually). My grandpa then said the entire house was nuts. I mean, he loves us but whenever he visits and leaves he says “back to civilization!”. I do not live in the hills and hollers. I live in East Texas. I just figure to him, it must seem like a different country.

That was kind of them to leave that book for you! They just KNEW there would be language issues!

Missing a small l, that is.

LMAO! She must be a real hoot! The poor thing!

That happened to me, several of them sounded correct.

@@AllenKrell Yeah, there were a couple of them that I could not tell what he was saying wrong. Backed 'em up and listened again. Still couldn't tell.

Those were all my exact answers, too...I’m a Floridian 😂 I still don’t understand what was wrong with a couple of them? 😂

Your wife is 100% correct 😂 I was looking at the screen like, “but that’s exactly what he said” 🤔

Mortal Kombat Funnel, every Fatality gives a double shot.

I'm inspired to get a poster-sized copy of the Sonic 2 cover now.

Pffp. Put a gun rack on the wall with a shotgun and Airsoft guns, Yankee.

Yes! Love his setup.

That'll preach! My hubs and I have a favorite joint to get meat n' three. Delicious dinner and supper...pinball, poker machines (behind 2 shower curtains & you can action on the SEC games), Dawg signs & t shirts, beer, wine, (hookup for moonshine & other locally grown/made delights), copies of the weekly papers for 2 communities a/k/a the gossip sheets)about 4 shelves of groceries ( they run out of something you wanted & they're out - just jump up and getcha' something else...including what Miss Carrie cans...and if you don't want sweet tea get a cocoa outta the fridge cause it isn't on tap), straight-up Awful Waffle type cook, waitresses but with enough Jesus in them the daily show is more like a Baptist deacon's meeting gone off the rails) and always asking' bout your mamaan'em. Dinner time brings all the loggers, lined up down the 2 lane packed red clay road....off to the wooded side of course). Wander in lost? Guarantee you won't pay for your dinner/supper the 1st time. The love in that food is like a hug from the Lord! Aaaand they'll put ya' on the prayer list if needs be. Things I love about the South, chapter 1, verses 42-57. Love to all y'all! Go Dawgs!!❤🏈🇺🇸

Legit thought it was going to be a tornado reference.

Nope we in the front yard with the cam corder

@@meeshybee1654 Same lol

Tornado alley understood that reference.

We don't have basements in DFW. We have to sit in a tub with a mattress and pray...

I had a student in a night class who would go ballistic because just about everybody in North Alabama calls it Pigg UH ly Wigg UH ly. 6 syllables instead of the correct 4. He was an assistant manager. I always called it The Pig, but never in front of him.

In Denmark, Mickey Dee's is known as The Golden Seagull... e'body does that ;)

Everybody gets one, nobody is immune! 👍

A lot of those nicknames are longer ex wallyworld

Like how the grocery store “Food Lion”, is referred to as ‘$hitty Kitty’ 😂

As an Australian I can relate

Oh, you mean Waffle Depot?

Gotta spell it like it sounds: the awful wawful Friend of mine used to put 2 bucks in the jukebox just before leaving and punch up every single waffle house song, then sit in the car until the people still inside started looking visibly angry. Good times.

You mean the Wiffle Waffle

Yes! Co-cola!

We always called it Cocaine Cola in these parts…

Exactly, how do you say it???? Sounded right to me

@@lisahartz9334 I think reeses is supposed to rhyme with the actual word "pieces", something like ree-sis

Haaaa haaaaa

I honestly thought that was a northern thing because my dad is from Pennsylvania (damn northerner) and he says warsh

@Sue Taylor Actually, I think the spelling depends on whether you or a family member actually owns the pickup containing the graffiti.

@Prankmonkey That made me smile. 😁

@@prankmonkeyxs650 No joke! My family is from Central Pa, and i grew up hearing about Worshington DC (which was about 2 hours south of us)

"want a cold drink?" "thank you I'll have co-cola" "What kind>" "Orange" how many times did I hear that from one of the farmers sitting around in my grandfather's old general store.

​@@clairewood7416 HUH?? Did you maybe remember that wrong? "Coek" is any kahnda bubbly 'n' fizzy beverage, but Coe-Cola (ya gotta twang that first "e" in the SE) is only Coca-Cola... and best served as ice-coal-Coe-Cola. 😉

And there sure was a tootin' a very judgy judge...someone one was hittin' that button like wrong, wrong, wrong.

My friends from the North think that there is actually a Wally World theme park that we are talking about, like the one in the old National Lampoon Family Vacation movie. They are disappointed when we stop at Walmart…

​@@adamr9215Walmart is a theme park and the attractions are the stoners picking out snacks, single mothers with unruly children, and the 400 pound woman wearing sweatpants that say "juicy" on the back.

@@Distophic I live in the middle of nowhere. The nearest Walmart is pretty rural and nowhere near as bad as they are in the city.

They is?

Up North Minnesota here and we have em too. There's the one in the closest town that's chock full of boxes, and the one in the next town over that's known as "The Good General" it's clean and no boxes. 😂😂

One of them might even have a 't', or tea, which is close enough.

It is very Twilight Zone to go in a DG that has empty aisles and full, neat shelves.

@@dagneytaggart7707 I have always though dollar tree was the twilight zone.

@@dagneytaggart7707 LOL I thought this only happened here in Mass.!

She was a good friend to you! Thumbs up to her!

@@jackifoster98 💖💖💖

I don't know, some noodle guy?

How is it correctly pronounced?

My family totally said RAYmen my entire childhood. When I went to college, I became really confused when others called it RAWmen.

Could be worse. Ever called them ROMAN noodles? 🍜🇯🇵🇺🇸🤔🤯🤣

​@Leland Conner Of course! Roman Noodle 1, 2, 3, 4 and V

Yes!! Agreed 👍🏼

this was part 2

in Massachusetts the generic nickname for soft drinks is 'tonic' Also there is a brand up there called Moxie and it is horrible.

​@@clairewood7416 I tried one at a Cracker Barrel. It wasn't that bad.

Soda

Soda water….

Anyone that doesn't call them coke is just wrong.

Na we always got coke right but we really do call the Walmart Wally World

I'm Canadian and i call it MacDonalds

My Mamaw always said Walmarks (with a k sound on the end).

In South Africa we also say MACdonalds. Is it supposed to be MickDonalds?

@@mrttripz3236 Technically it's "mick" because there's no letter A, but at the same time "mack" is also technically correct. It comes down (mostly) to pronunciation/regional accent but there's the Scottish Mac-name and the Irish Mc-name, both meaning the exact same thing ("Son of") and the latter being an abbreviation of the former.

He still does the Southern channel too, doesn’t he?

@@WyattRyeSway nope, he's on his own now and no longer with southern thing. He had a post recently.

Matt absolutely needed to break free from “It’s a Southern Thing” given his popularity. I subscribed to his new channel and trash canned Southern Thing. No doubt it was all about the Benjamins and now Matt can make his own way.

@@jackkarns2484 ……I watch both but Matt’s content is hysterical 100% of the time. The Southern Channel is good too. I don’t feel the need to trash them but then I guess, I didn’t see Matt’s post about leaving the other channel. I should go watch it I suppose I looked and didn’t find a video of him talking about the break with the other channel. Anyone have a link? Thanks

@@WyattRyeSway You are right, my comment was strong. However, I tried other Southern Things videos but could not finish them. After a little of that I stopped watching them. In my view Matt was the star of that channel and in his video he talks about the five years he spent with them. The Pandemic was particularly hard on Southern Things content creators. They re-played existing videos while the creators received no residuals. Their right of course, as they “owned” the content, but an operation that small risks losing big if contributors are not looked after. Matt was kind in his comments but it was easy to see that there were considerable underlying issues. Just watching Matt create content for his own channel is very instructive. His output exceeds Southern Things and is broader in scope without the former oversight. I just don’t see Southern Things filling this void. We should follow their subscriber numbers. Lastly, I will look for his explanation video and a link.

Why? I live in Louisiana. Every DG I have ever been in had access to both ends of the aisles from an aisle running cross ways across the store. You might have to climb the boxes to get something hiding on the shelf behind them but you can get to every aisle. But hey if its an issue just drive a mile and a half further down the highway and go to another DG. There is like 10 in every parish.

"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to stop eating the cigarettes, we have chips in the next isle over."

So it's not just us!

I gave up and just call it W sauce.

Worsh-Yer-Sister-Sauce

We call it Limey juice. Limey as in the slang term for English people, not as in lime flavored.

Oh...just call it "the other soy sauce". Worster-shyster-shooster is just too damn confusing. 😵‍💫🤯🤣

Hmmm ....Were-sure-shire.

Dollar Stores, Dollar General, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are all within a 5 minute drive from my house in Ft Worth. Didn't Dollar General buy up Dollar Tree? Seriously, I drove up McCart ave one afternoon right past the Dollar General. Three days later it was a Dollar Tree!

Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are same family.

@@clairewood7416 Dollar Tree purchased Family Dollar

@@clairewood7416 That explains the Dollar General truck I saw outside Dollar Tree yesterday. I didn't realize one had bought the other.

For me any store with the word Dollar in the name is a Dollar store.

also Kentucky

Dude said there weren't any judges but, who was hitting that buzzer then? Maybe no judge but, there sure as tootin' was someone being JUDGE-y there!

And West Virginia

I'm from Nocona, TX and if you call a Dr Pepper a coke you'd get your ass kicked

Your friends at Georgia Tech would say otherwise! LOL

It would be fun to play

Me too!

WERE

Same in Stone Mountain, Ga . LOL

I'm afraid I knew every reference but I'm one of those sophista-ma-cated Southerners, y'all. (Banjo riff)...Hyuck. 🤓🧑‍🎓🤣

Hell I’m Canadian and I understood it lol

Yuuup

@@jeffkahl we all know as told by Robin sparkles her self Canadians do not swear and are extremely apologetic. You sir sound like a Missisippian

Yes!

Not gonna stop since I heard no difference.

I had to look it up. I've _always_ said "Belk's"! 😮

Apparently there's not an S at the end of Aldi's either. Still call it Aldi's

wait, there's not?

I was just confused the first time I saw one that didn't have two names. I grew up with Belk-Lindsey, and moved to a place where it was Parks Belk. Just "Belk" sounds all kinds of wrong. (Even my phone thinks that's gotta be wrong. It "corrected" my spelling.)

I’ve always said Belks even tho I’m acutely aware there is no s.

I was born in California! Border patrol hears my accent and does a double take after seeing my passport. LOL I just smile and say my Daddy and Momma were ,both, in the military. Smile and move on.

Makes up for all the missin' g's.

That got me good lmao

We call it the house of crack!😂

Unless you don't have friends like that, but that just means it's you.

There's a Boomhower in every crowd.

@@asdisskagen6487 BOOMHOWER! LOL Thats it! He was the funniest guy on that show!

Yeah, I do know a few annoying people who want to go to a "Mick Donald's" before swinging into a "Wall Mart" to buy some "Sprite". Just say you want some Micky D's before getting some coke at the store, already!

Y’all really wanna claim it tho?

I grew up a little ways from Scottsville, in Todd County. I never knew DG was founded in KY much less "close to home"

@@alostrich Not much else to claim!

LOL SAME!!!

It's pronounced Ree-siz.

Haha I even went back to listen a second time just to make sure. Sounded fine to this yankee 🤷🏻‍♀️

Some people call them "Reesie cups" here in MI too. I've always wondered where that nickname came from. Maybe now I know.

Same here.

It's cool. I've heard before "The only things differentiating the South from the Midwest are location and climate."

I about died when I said The Pig and he didn’t.

I think he meant the Piggy-Wiggy. Maybe in some parts called Oinkster Central. Lmao 😂

LMAO!! I LOVE it when stuff like this happens! When the signs light up but certain letters dont work. We call it as we sees it!

@@inconnu4961 my local ACE Hardware is currently the "AC Had-re". It amuses me greatly.
