Oh my goodness! I laughed so much with this video. This is the first time Matt took this test, huh? He done great, though! I enjoyed hearing you guys laughing as I was laughing with y'all. Thank you for the video, Tipper. I have always appreciated Language, having been a teacher. Bless you for keeping the Appalachian Language alive. Have a Blessed evening.☕

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@carolynwhitney5268 11 месяцев назад

I’m at #4 in the video and have never used any of these words or phrases! I’m going to fail! 😉

@joetownsend- 11 месяцев назад

Great Video Very educational and informative! Your family showing us show much Love! Punkin blast this October 21 & 23 Brasstown , NC 😊

@user-ny2wc6jj7f 11 месяцев назад

Laughed till I cried! Especially "light a rag"🤣🤣Loved seeing Matt get to enjoy time with ALL his girls! God bless you all and Granny too!🍁🍂🍁🍂

@Ssups101 11 месяцев назад

Matt looks so much more relaxed and happy since he's been retired. Good on him!

@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY 11 месяцев назад

When Matt wrote "I hate wearing a choke rag." coming from him it just sounded natural. Tipper & Matt you both are so compatible 😊

@sledneck7398 11 месяцев назад

I like this format so we had time to think of an answer. This is the second video today where Katie is craving an all beef hotdog and a lemonade, y'all should make a lunch trip to the flea market before that girl comes un-fed!🙌😁😜

@Sewmena918 11 месяцев назад

I imagined a cartoon bubble over Matt’s head saying “I wonder if I can get my old job back?” 😂 Although he aced that test. 💯

@tonytherf-mb3dg 11 месяцев назад

This was fun Tipper. I think I only knew about 4 of the words. Matt's a genius. "He could be a professor!" 😅 love and prayers to granny and the whole family.

@cheryld5016 11 месяцев назад

So funny! I laughed at those silly girls. ❤

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it 😀

@bowtieguy6870 11 месяцев назад

I grew up in Appalachia (far eastern TN) and have heard and or use around 90% of the words in these kinds of your videos. However, I had never heard the term “unfed” that y’all use. I absolutely love that and have adopted it in to my everyday life. You are doing a wonderful job celebrating Appalachia for the world to see! Thanks!

@lesliespann6420 11 месяцев назад

Hilarious! 😆🤣😆🤣 I love to see you all laughing until you cry!!! It is very interesting how generational these ways of speaking are. And the changes that evolve are fascinating, too. Language is alive! Thanks for sharing your Celebration, and for the chickles!!! Peace be with you. 💚

@janicegrogg9710 11 месяцев назад

What fun I laughed so hard. Prayers for Granny🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

@Grandmarez 11 месяцев назад

Getting ready for a big family visit I was going in circles doing several projects at once. Finally I could hear my late Mom saying ,"you've got too many irons in the fire!" I had to laugh to myself and thought- need to send that to Tipper!

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

That's a good one 😀

@TRMTRM-qw7ov 11 месяцев назад

All of your videos on Appalachian language are delightful! I know you're aware of the judgement often passed on folks for speaking a certain way and here you are celebrating a special communication gathered from generations of immigrants. I hope more and more people discover your channel and begin to understand and embrace the celebration of cultural language, traditions, recipes and ways of life! Thank you, so much, for breaking down another barrier!!

@judymartius7779 11 месяцев назад

Theres another youtuber in Pennsylvania that was raised up close to the Amish & Mennonite communities & her mother would say 'red' up. I love how different cultures & ways of speaking an befound in different areas. I find that there are a few words that ive said all my life & im a true Minnesotan. Just fascinating. Thx for sharing.

@ramonahierholzer3163 11 месяцев назад

Tipper, I cherish your love to hang onto and share with younger generations, the treasures of the APPALACHIAN language! So deeply rich in teaching of the culture that is their heritage.

@dwaynemartztvnetwork 11 месяцев назад

I agree with you Tipper. I say words and phrases that my mom, dad, grandparents said just so my daughters and grandchildren hear them. Also I just like hearing them 👍🍞

@TheRealSubourbonMermaid 11 месяцев назад

LOL not even one full minute into the video and I've already belly laughed. Matt's expression at 0:57 is priceless! He's like "a sentence?!" 😄

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

@garybrunet6346 11 месяцев назад

I love these tests. They’re so much fun. See what you were missing Matt. Special prayers for Granny! Take care Pressley family!❤️🇨🇦🙏

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

Thank you Gary 😀

@missouribroad978 11 месяцев назад

My dad grew up in rural Arkansas. He liked to cut up and often had funny phrases. I was an only child and I would jokingly tell on him to my mom. Every time he would smile and say girl, hesh yer jaw. 😁

@Sewmena918 11 месяцев назад

I love that!

@kimnichols1458 11 месяцев назад

@AoifeNic_an_t-Saoir 11 месяцев назад

😂 HEIST!!! I’m the heist paid person in here! 😂😂😂😂 I loved this video! This reminds me so much how my grandma used to talk 😊 Thank you for the laugh this morning, I really needed it ❤

@wandaweber6613 11 месяцев назад

Love this!! My dad would always say "pert'n near" for just about. Then he would ask, "Did you learn anything?" Miss him and his ways.

@janicenichols7271 11 месяцев назад

This is cracking me up!..Katie's statement "That's not even a word"...I sure hope you read Matts answers...it might take you all day, haha...What a fun activity to put in your vlogs...I sure wouldn't have done well...Good luck Corie, Katie and Matt. 😊😂I hope none of you lose your accents...I love listening to you all talk.😊God Bless you all🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦

@northcarolinagirl 11 месяцев назад

I passed your test and hubby and I had fun playing along. I was exposed to all these rich words and the culture to go along with it. I feel so blessed but my own kids missed out as my husband was military and we moved all over the country. I wish I could remember all the things my family used to say when I was growing up.

@fayehickey3804 11 месяцев назад

We moved to Ohio from East Tennessee in late fifties,my grandmother lived in Murphy N.C.,oh how they ridiculed our accent and choice of words. I did make dear friends who took my part, my friend Pat ( Irish lineage) said redd the table…never heard the word 😊 I wish someone like you had proudly spoke for us! Love to watch!

@kimgreene9241 11 месяцев назад

I love it that Corie kept her paper because her Dad graded it ❤ I have to say that I would have failed that test.

@davidhalldurham 11 месяцев назад

This was hilarious! What a wonderful family you have. It's also kinda sad because it shows how the wonderful Appalachian dialect is dying out, but that's the result of movies, TV, and radio.

@VRlabgirl 11 месяцев назад

That was so much fun! I love my Southern roots and continue to use as many words as I can on a daily basis. It drives my family nuts.😂

@michellejones716 11 месяцев назад

This is one of my favorite videos, i loved the laughter, the family time, the pure wholesome togetherness. Matt and katie are so alike lol. Little impish! Thanks for sharing

@tonysteph 11 месяцев назад

4 in and I've never heard of any of these 😂 can't wait to hear the definitions! Steph ❤

@homesteadingpastor 11 месяцев назад

Enjoyed this Miss Tipper! Laughter is good for the soul, thank y’all for a good dose of it today. Matt graduated at the top of this class lol 😂 👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

😀 Glad you enjoyed it!

@amygrant4915 11 месяцев назад

Oh my!! I got a zero! But goodness it was such a pleasure seeing a different side of Matt. His laugh is infectious and the way all of y’all were so genuinely having a great time! Warms my heart!

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@kayeb2647 11 месяцев назад

This is crazy fun. Laughed til I cried. First couple words I thought Matt was writing a book.

@roserollins9800 11 месяцев назад

He did run out of ink

@ramonahierholzer3163 11 месяцев назад

I grew up in Appalachia, but only knew one or two of those words. And yes, it is so true that each Appalachian area has their own differences.❤ West Virginia is my home. I have heard MANY words that you use, as the same as I grew up hearing. 😊

@saner6888 11 месяцев назад

I LOVE THESE💛🌻Hilarious 😆

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

So glad you enjoy them 😀

@janae09 11 месяцев назад

Y’all’s answers had me nearly choking on my dinner. 😂Too funny, but Corie and Katie both did better than me!

@terriemartinez9989 11 месяцев назад

I missed 2. "Light a Rag" and "Far Board" I had heard "She 'lit' out of here when her momma called", but I never heard the rag part. And Far Board, I remembered, too, after I figured out it was fire..lol.. I thought it was an out-back lean-to.😂 Loved this video! It looked so *FUN* GOD Bless your family 🕊️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸🎶

@bluebird218bn 11 месяцев назад

That was so much fun! I literally laughed out loud and clapped my hands at some of the answers.

@suecallen2160 11 месяцев назад

“Red the table “-my grandmother used that phrase: northern Ohio/ early 1950’s. Wondered where it came from and could only guess it referred to ridding the table of dishes after a meal. Love all that you share

@EuleneWages4644 11 месяцев назад

Sodie water to us is baking soda.We fix sodie water for heart burn or upset stomach in Morehead Kentucky.Loved the test.💯

@wandamyers2690 11 месяцев назад

This was so fun. I loved it! 😂

@mags102755 11 месяцев назад

Tipper I love the Appalachian words you share. Often, I wish we could sit down together and compare our different versions of the English language. Some of the words have migrated up north. Some may have migrated down south. But I love hearing the different words, accents, and the way you speak. It makes me happy.

@marydomitrovic3468 11 месяцев назад

I was born in 1943 and came from Pittsburgh, PA and my parents and I always say “read up your room”, meaning to clean up your room. I was told it came from the South to say”right up your room”. Love your family and your channel.

@paavoviuhko7250 11 месяцев назад

I pay close attention to these language videos and take notes. I want to be able to use some of these words in my daily conversations to brighten up the talk. Thanks very much for this offering.

@tammyarmstrong-williams1943 11 месяцев назад

😂I really enjoyed the test! I got a 100%!!! Of course, I am 60 years old too. That makes a difference. I live in Middle Tennessee on our farm. We are about 3 hours away from y'all. I love all of you. I consider you all my friends. Praying for you all. Sending special prayers for Granny, Katie, and that precious little boy. GOD bless you all. Your friend, T

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Happy to be your friends 😀

@Dougeb7 11 месяцев назад

I flunked out with 40%. Nobody's gonna hist me on their shoulders for that performance! I had fun though, y'all crack me up. God bless!

@patmoritz5213 11 месяцев назад

What good sports you are. Matt’s just get ur done and hiding his correct answers. Family fun around the kitchen table. Love it❤

@AmynAL 11 месяцев назад

I love these tests! One of the things that I hold to and treasure is the way my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins talk(ed). My mothers’ side was more “southern belle’, while my fathers’ people were “plain” folk. Both sides from Tennessee, west and east. I love them all and am proud of both sides. Like most these days, we are “blended”. Thank you “everbody”!

@MrsEyes512 11 месяцев назад

That was too cute!! You had an interesting classroom of students 😅 and you're a great teacher. 😊 Continued prayers for everyone. ❤

@penwald8782 11 месяцев назад

The words you bring up are such an important part of your heritage. Just as we study the history of other out-dated things, I love how you bring the unique southern Appalachian language into view. Thank you for this!!

@cherisunshine 11 месяцев назад

Loved this! Everybody has us cracking up! The only thing different for us, is we call baking soda and water sodie water. This was fun. Love y’all bunches!

@HolmansHomestead 11 месяцев назад

We loved this. We got a couple right So funny. Praying for Granny today. We hope it went ok. Praying for you all too. Yall have a blessed night.

@laurariddle9394 11 месяцев назад

LOVED THIS VIDEO! 😂 And Katie, don’t worry I’m left handed too! You’ll never be left out! You’re a hoot! 😍

@MaryJohnson-u3v 11 месяцев назад

We love all the ways you celebrate Appalachia! This video was especially entertaining because I grew up hearing my parents and grandparents using these words. My grandfather (we called him Pop) called cover (blankets and quilts) “kiver”. It’s getting more challenging for me to remember and use the language of my grandparents. This makes me sad.

@HHoughton 11 месяцев назад

I always heard folks say, "He lit a shuck outa there" instead a lit a rag. I love to hear y'alls language courses, they remind me of home and where I got the things I still say today.

@sandydee8003 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Tipper! I love how you filmed this. I felt just like I was sitting at the table playing along with Y’all.🙋🏻‍♀️

@CelebratingAppalachia 11 месяцев назад

@marilynsheffield612 11 месяцев назад

That was fun! I knew about half of the words... thanks Tipper and family for keeping our rich history alive 🎃👍👍

@e.kayesellick654 11 месяцев назад

That was so much fun to watch! I laughed until I cried and my sides hurt. I hope you do more of this material. Besides it being fun to watch, I’m learning new words or remembering the old ones my relatives used to say. Prayers for all, especially Granny, God bless.🙏🏻❤️

@pentatonya1778 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for this! Reminding me of my Appalachian grandmother “Nanny” who used a lot of these words. Switching my brain back to the colorful way to use all the words & phrases. Loved having Matt in this one… seeing the multi-generational results is eye opening.

@dlg3389 11 месяцев назад

Oh my goodness, I LOVED this!! I was born (my Grandma used to say "borned") and raised in Middle Tennessee, and I 've heard most of these words my whole life.

@valoriegriego5212 11 месяцев назад

Fun! So cool to see the different personalities of the girls. 😃 Tipper, what a fun way to learn. I got a few!😃

@bkwwilkes 8 месяцев назад

I have kinfolks from the southern hills of Ohio and all over Kentucky and the deep south of Georgia some of the words I know most did not remember till you gave we the definition. my Great grand ma and grand dad used them words, you bought back memories , i am 71 years young. and i just subscribe to your channel, thank you

@carrolllee9972 11 месяцев назад

The only one I missed was "light a rag"...never had heard that one. I had come "unfed" and ate my supper while watching. Y'all are a DELIGHT. A mountain "hooger" from NE Georgia!

@sourceofmercy 11 месяцев назад

I love the videos where you focus on the vocabulary of Appalachia, and this was one of the funniest ones to date! A little family competition is always good for laughs. Thanks for sharing!

@OnaMuir 11 месяцев назад

Grand fun. And I learned about phrases my family does use! 🥰🤗

@ianjeffries1045 11 месяцев назад

I liked a lot of your videos before, however... this is by far my favorite! Watching and listening to you all laugh and joke around made me feel like a fly on the wall. Being a part of your family. Thank you for making me smile. Love from Edmonton, Alberta Canada ❤

@julielemmon6929 9 месяцев назад

I grew up in Appalachia Ohio and I grew up hearing “red up the room”. My boys grew up hearing “Redd up the room”. But they have not passed this language onto my grandchildren. So in my direct family, I am the last person using this language. I hope the language is never lost. Like you I love hearing it.

@carolynpurser7469 9 месяцев назад

These vocabulary videos are always so funny 😊 Sometimes I surprise myself at the ones I actually know.

@hawkrose8403 11 месяцев назад

Katie you’re not alone. I’m left handed too❤

@leighflorkevich9916 11 месяцев назад

So much fun and hilarious! I missed three out of ten. I never heard of far board, choke rag or light a rag. I knew that far meant fire but never heard of a far board. My parents had a neighbor who told us a funny story about far. One cold winter day right as she was getting off work, her boss told her to stay warm tonight because the temperature was gonna dip down really low. She said she had one of those moments where you get kind of tongue tied and told her, " I know, I think I'm going to go home and fart a star!" 😆

@janh519 11 месяцев назад

I enjoyed this so much! I grew up in E. KY and we had “our own” sayings, using language a lot like this. I hadn’t heard of several of these ten words! In my area there were words and sayings we had that might not have been used in the western part of our state. After college, my husband and I moved north to another state, where we noticed lots of different words/language! Our accent was different there, too! This was a lot of fun! Thanks, Tipper!

@BrianAiken-zc3jw 11 месяцев назад

My grands would say,” hope me” , instead of help me! I thought that was neat! We enjoyed the vocabulary test. My grandparents were from the mountains of SC.

@jennykiser2627 11 месяцев назад

I really liked this video segment. I’m almost 75 and their were a few I did not know. I was raised hearing a lot of Appalachian language sayings in N. Eastern Kentucky.

@charlenebain5341 11 месяцев назад

@carollyngillespie3860 11 месяцев назад

Here in Louisiana, it's such a diverse part of the country that you hear things you do hear in other parts of the country. The accents here are wonderful. I didn't realize how different we really were until I got out of the house.

@margaretgreenway759 11 месяцев назад

They cracked me up especially that Katie even Matt was giggling I love this test let me ask you a question have you ever heard of step-in's my friend said this to me once yrs ago and I was like so lost we are just about as country as folks come but that was a new one to me

@wilmahartzler589 11 месяцев назад

That was a lot of fun to watch. Its so interesting to me. I was raised in a german household and live in TN. We didn't say/accent/words/slang from southern US. Thanks for sharing Tipper, I really enjoyed this video.
