I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALL YOUR STORIES, DEAR SOUL! They bring so much joy & and information back in the day. I've always wondered what life was like during your time and so different from mine at 70 yrs old. PLEASE don't ever stop.🙏🙏🙏👍❤️😁
I couldn't help but giggle! My mom told me this! I was really young! Sh said there was some man knocked on the door! When she answered the man said he was hungry and asked for a sandwich! Well she brought him a sandwich back to him and he asked if she had a poke to put it in!! Absolutely love your stories! I am 78 years old and I can relate to the stories you tell! Thank you for sharing! I lost my husband in 2020. These stories make me smile!!
Oh, how I loved this video. I have heard alot of these, and still hear them from some of the people that live in the mountains. Thanks for the fun tonight. Love you!❤
This was a very enjoyable video for me! I grew up in KY, went to college for a year, got married, then finished my last three years of college. After that I began teaching and I taught a year and one summer in KY. Then, my husband’s job took us to Ohio. I taught after our first year living there until not long before our first child came along. After a year, I went back and taught until not long before we had our second bundle of joy. I didn’t live in the district where our children attended school, which I think was better for them and myself. I took off another year, then taught until I had my thirty years completed. It went fast and in a year and a half I’ll be eighty!
My mother used to say she was going to the store and lay in some groceries. I tell my friend now. You better lay in some groceries. She gets the biggest kick out of that every time I say it. Mom always said her grandma told her pretty is as pretty does. Mom grew up on a farm just outside of town, and she said when grandma would come home from town she would always check under the bed to see if anyone was under there. Lol Did you ever know of anyone to do that? Thank you for the Stories! You are a Charm to so many of Us! Thank You! Bonnie Lou from Ohio. ♥️😘
I am from the hills of Kentucky and would not be from anywhere else in anywhere else in the world.love you darling. Bless you and God bless and I will be watching.. I knew all the words. Love it. My word was garm means something dirty.
Ms. Pat, I knew all the words snd use and misuse of them and loved the reminders of growing up in Kentucky! I still hear "buggy" at grocery stores! Our dialect is still called the Queen's English!❤
Born and raised in Montana for 2 generations but grandparents were from Illinois for 2 generations and many before that from Kentucky and the Carolinas and my grandpa used to talk just like you and I hadn't the foggiest but guess I can only wish I had the days to live and learn and understand. God bless you
Coming up a cloud ; pretty as a speckled pup; grinning like a possum eating sawbriars, she's as pretty as a rooster in socks. There was one about Georgia road map being crooked as a dogs hind legs? Thought of another my grandmother used daily "much obliged" - it seemed to fit behind a thank you and before a your welcome but I was never clear on it. Your memories are precious!
Texas and Kentucky share many similarities. You look fantastic, awesome glasses and earrings that go very well with your blouse. God Bless you and your family. Sure enjoy your wisdom and gracefulness!
I loved everything you shared! As someone from another country its so interesting to learn about the US Geography and what Kentucky is like. Much love to you! It is very good listening to you talk.
Oh my gosh When I first married I moved to Woodbury Tennessee then Murfreesboro Tennessee, what an education I got as a young teenager. I grew up southern Illinois But I can relate to everything you are talking about I live in Missouri, now 46 years
Lovely video, Pat. I remember the big pans filled with snow, waiting for my grandmother to turn it into "ice cream." Oh, the simple thrills of childhood. I am from Georgia , and the sayings of the South are a real hoot! On that note, thanks, sweetie.
I just love you, Granny Pat! 😊 You’re FUN & interesting to listen to. Today’s my 55th birthday. My parents are in Heaven. It’s so nice to hear your stories, in Mama’s & Papa’s absences. You’d still be awesome even if they were still here. But because they’re not, you add that bit of fun, comfort, & joy that our elders always have to offer, which I miss. I hope that made sense. It’s still early, & I’m not sure if the coffee’s kicked in yet. LOL
From the north of England so many sayings can't remember them all. Lived in Canada now a long time. Never forget the look on my friends face when I first came here and asked her, can you knock me up in the morning. Meaning can you wake me up. 😂😅😅
So Funny😆 I am from the north PA. Hunting season is a Holiday here too!! My mother in law also called shopping cart a buggy she also called blue jeans dungarees😁 Thanks Granny Pat🤗 You do a great job doing your hair!👍🏻 Thought of another one. In PA. We say crick for a creek😁
I have been seeing a lot of seniors on the internet and social media lately and I must say I makes my day when I watch their videos, you have TheWhyteElephant for some wholesome tutorials on how to make various types of milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, floats and more, Grandma Droniak to make you laugh and yourself to relax and unwind with some chit chat
My grandmother always referred to a paper bag as a poke. I still call a shopping cart a buggy and have all my life. We always called the last meal of the day, supper, never dinner. We say worsh clothes, not wash clothes. I sure did enjoy this video, it was really fun! Love and blessings, Sheila.
You brought back so many memories of old sayings. Our dear mother was an English/Latin teacher and she corrected us every time we got folksy. We lived on a farm in the Blue Ridge Mts and I loved the old sayings. Thanks Pat.❤
Just love this fun video😂. I speak five languages fluently, grew up speaking Italian in our home and then when I got married back in 1978, a young bride and got stationed in Tennessee with the Army followed by six years in Kentucky. It took me forever to understand “southern” talk 😂
❤😊🎉 I got a big old boy turkey today! 20 pounder! 20 bucks at Costco. Cornbread is in the freezer, yams a plenty, and pecans for pie. Gearing up. I have everything ready, all systems GO!
I still call them pokes....your story made me think of a time when I was out of town when to a grocery store I never been to...I was putting my groceries one the belt...and move my buddie down and ask the clerk where to put it because you found not get back where you got up...she looked and me and said there called shopping carts and you people need to learn to talk...I looked at her and I said no you can call them what you want...Im Proud of my la language all I know ...and I also said I don't need this have fun putting it back No one is going to put me down for what my grandparents taught me...I talk the way I talk...so enjoyed the story I understood it all...like I told you before I'm from harlan Kentucky I'm proud to be a hillbilly thank you for all the stories I so enjoy them❤
Granny Pat. You're being ing back old memories.. I so love them too.my grandma would say. Hiya come hiya... Instead of here come here.lol❤how about ( I do declare) . Or you're going to get your butt blistered.lol so many more Thank you for the Rib ticklers! Love you Granny Pat
Thank you so much for talking like me. Both sides of my family migrated over from KY. I've lived in a couple of places that don't appreciate our dialect. It's funny because I don't mind their's. Blessings to all.
Thank you! I was so entertained with your stories and especially hearing the Southern expressions. I grew up in the northeast- New York - So I am not familiar with any of those. But I did know “hissy fit”. Haha!!
It is a pleasure to meet you! I’m in Kentucky also. I’m 53 and been here all my life. I’m guilty of a lot you read, lol. I have my grandma’s jam cake recipe. I did look up the Cissy Gregg recipe and found it online. I’ll have to try it. I look forward to watching more of your videos! ❤
Hey beautiful Gran Gran!!!!!! Happy happy Friday!!!!! Hope your having a wonderful day I remember a lot of of these words my great grandmother used so many of them us kids would be at her house and fixing to go to the store and we would ask if she wanted anything and she would say yeah bring me a dope (she was referring to a coke) and as a small kid I would call coke’s dope’s also Now days if you said that they would think you were on some kind of drugs!!!! It’s crazy how time changes things I do miss hearing her say I want a dope she was a God fearing lady and would never touch any kind of drugs it’s just in how people interpret the words we say!!!!! And of course we brought her dope home to her in a poke!!!!!!! Sending you love hugs and prayers always 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Here in East Texas they have the yamboree of course from yams and they also have a fire ant festival God knows why Love you Granny Pat you made me laugh today
We adopted some of those sayings in the northeast, especially, “jeet”. We put something as a reply also. We surely have our way of talking also. We still make fun of the way we talk sometimes. It’s so fun to make fun of ourselves no matter where we live. Thanks so much. ❤️
I’m Southern, have the accent, love it, and will never lose it. One thing the author says that I take issue with: y’all is not singular; it is always plural. I guess all y’all is a larger number.
"Just love you to pieces!" My granny would say. I'm so pleased you are proud to be Southern Lady. Nothing wrong with them Yankees. They love to visit the South for fun. Our way of life is like taking vacation to them. Southern people make fun out of the hardest day of work. We got our Northern cousins up at 5 am to milk kept them working in the fields till dark and time to milk again and feed the animals. They loved it. Stories and old tales were told
My Grandma say’s “Purnurt”! 😂 That’s so funny because we love in Michigan! But my Family act’s & talk’s like they are from the South! I have actually been told many times in my life that I sounded Southern! My Grandma also call’s the sink a “zink!”😂 She is so funny. Thank you for making me laugh. ❤
I have recently discovered you yesterday and you bring me such comfort and I wish I could spend a day with you. You are wonderful. Thank you for the videos hun ❤️
@TrevorKombat I would give anything to spend the day with Granny Pat 💞 just Love her to pieces she's family to me 🌹 such a precious soul There are a few here on RU-vid I would love to spend time with I don't have no friends here we're I live in Las Vegas ît gets very lonely Have a wonderful blessed day and a early Happy Thanksgiving to everyone 🦃 God Bless
My grandmother Bessie Mae, would address us kids playing around the farm as "you'uns". As in, you'uns wash up now, it's dinner time. It's been 14 years since her passing, but oh how I still miss her. 😢
I have to laugh! My sister, named Bena Mae, would pitch fits when somebody called her ‘Bessie Mae’. Also, “you young’ens git’ in this house right now!”
Driving through Kentucky, I had to stop at a gas station because of a sudden heavy downpour. Lasted about 10 minutes. The older guy at the station called it a "gully warsher." Reminded me of my husband's grandma, who grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch. She'd say stuff like "make the light out" instead of "turn off the light." These language quirks are a cool part of American culture, and I hope they stick around.
👁👁 You're sweet. Just found your channel. I'm an old southern gal from rural Tennessee. I get what you're sayin. I grew up talking this way. But when i moved to Memphis, I found out that these folks don't understand the language I was raised on. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't. Honest. These city folk just don't talk like us country girls. I miss country folk. I miss my old stompin grounds. It was nice to hear familiar expressions.
Oh Miss Pat I laughed so much! I know all the sayings. I still go to the grocery store and call a cart a buggy. When my children and my niece were young we had a quilt that had flowers on it. When I wanted them to bring it to me I got to where I called it the flowerdy cover. My niece told me she was so embarrassed when she learned that wasn't a real word one day. Haha. I love all of our sayings. I hope they don't disappear either. I really and truly believe that we grew up in the best times. I know you are like me and wish we could go back. You keep up the great stories. I look forward to them. 🦃🐿🍁🍂🌾🌻
Hello Granny Pat, I just found you on U-Tube and I’m so glad I did. Love your stories and cooking but when you chop and cut with a knife I get nervous. Sure don’t want you to get cut. You are a very interesting Lady
Greetings Granny Pat! That joke about the chicken and the possom just cracked me up! I'm from the South also. Thanks for sharing these. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Pat,I think you may be wrong about the state with the most lakes. My info says Minnesota. I was born in KY but lived in KY then MI and moved to Indiana and back to KY. I came to Michigan the last time in 1948 and have been here ever since. I still call KY home and wish I could again live there, but know that will never happen. I am 90 and probably my next move will be in Shanghvi Cemetery there my ashes will be poured into the grave by my husband. I have heard most of the sayings you read. My mother-in-law had an old saying for everything. I love watching your site because your memory is much better than mine. I remember little about my youth.
I love this Granny Pat. I’m a half breed.. My father was from NewYork and My Mother from Alabama. When my parents divorced in the 60’s we moved to Alabama.
I was born and raised in "Bawlmer, Merlin." Old Line State. Where everyone is called "hon." And "lahberry" is library, "perfick" is perfect, "turble" is terrible and "wurjagitdat?" is where did you get that? 😂 Thanks for the morning chit chat! Have a great weekend Sweet GP! ❤🐝fromColorado
Granny Pat I've been watching you for months. I think i messed up, do you live in Kentucky or Tennessee? Either way i love your accent! There is a utube you might enjoy. It's Celebrating Appalachia, Tipper Presley's goal on her channel is to keep Appalachia language and foods ways alive. She's wonderful. She reads books to us on Fridays. Books Southern and Appalachian authors have written. They have been amazing. She lives with her husband, one if her twin daughters. Her other daughter & her husband live about 20min away. They garden, cook, have a good time. I love it! She also has a blog she started in 2008, the blind pig and the acorn. It's posted everday. So interesting. Grammy from Texas
I recognized all your little Appalachian phrases! They are still alive and well where I live in a little country town in southern WV. Here’s one to add to your repertoire: juice pole or “We didn’t have no juice last night, so I couldn’t see to do my homework.” 😊 By the way, in one of my English classes for my Masters degree, I learned that our Appalachian dialect and language patterns are as close as you’ll get to the Queen’s English. 😊
I love your posts, Granny Pat. I do have to correct you though. If you cross the bridges in Louisville, you are in Indiana, not Ohio. I live 20 miles west of Louisville in Indiana. Louisville was the "big" city when I was growing up. My first job was at Jewish Hospital. Monday nights the stores on 4th Street stayed open til 9 p.m. I'd walk down Chestnut to 4th and shop my way down to the bus stop to catch the bus across the river. What wonderful memories. (I wouldn't dare walk in downtown Louisville after dark these days!)
I knew somebody would catch me on that one!! I was thinking about crossing over from Covington into Cincinnati. After I posted, i realized “it’s Indiana, not Ohio! Just blame it on old age!😅😅😅. I worked at 4th and Guthrie in Louisville.
Ah, memories of folks that passed through my life. I’m from England, but grew up here in the State of Ohio. My Grandmother was so appalled by some of the slang, and she often would remind us to be mindful not to repeat the words that seemed to offend her ears! Lol! I loved the folks from Kentucky and Tennessee. I Found the slang and twang charming. The people were so kind and nice, and I have to say, not so stuffy like my Grandmother. 😂♥️🙋♀️
