My dog is from a shelter in South Carolina and already a year old when he came to Canada. "Go on now, GIT" was the only command he'd respond to in the beginning! I found out I had to say it with the accent and everything 😂
I have a very southern accent and moved to upstate NY. Every time I hollered at the dogs, the neighbors were like 😳😳. After 6 months, they finally asked me what the hell I was saying 😂
When you yelled git my cat got up and ran ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The sign of a true southerner and a well trained animal . That was two laughs for the price of one 🤣
@@HeterosexuaI Not many southern states have Mountains. The Ozarks and the Appalachia are more southern. It is used to refer to hill folk of a particular culture that prefers individualism. They have been persecuted from their beginning as Cameronians.
@@HeterosexuaI Just tremors made worse by one of the anti rejection medicines I take. I think it is the tacrolimus. It is a common side effect but the drug keeps me alive.
You need to do a Southern translation of "bless your heart." Took me two years after I moved here before I realized that in 90% of those conversations I was being called an idiot.
Oh that’s a classic Southernism. Gotta watch out for the old church ladies, they sound sweet and darlin’ but they’re meaner than a snake, if you know what they actually mean 😂
I am also a certified Southern Translator. I worked a job with a guy who was from New Hampshire and had lived in New York for about a decade and he was transferred to North Carolina. I happen to be fluent in Damn Yankee as well so I was the go between for him and customers on a job site.
@@elizabethwelch8710Ah, the good part of SW Virginia where people love Dr. Pepper and there are more things to do. I'm from the far southwestern part where people love Diet Coke and there's nothing to do around here.
I need the polite southern lady to passive aggressively telling him he'll get a buckshot in the butt if he doesn't get. And pray she doesn't double tap.
"shit we gotta ask billy.." *_"billy?_* man he MUST be mad..." "yeah.." "GIET BÆCK HIER YUEW GOG SUNNEM JUMBAZZLIN HOGTYIN CROWFOOT TONGUED HAYRAZORS, WHEIR YIW THĪNK YER GUIEWIN!? OH THÆT BITTER NOT BE JAYSONS HOUSE"
Many of the flavors of southern are considered separate English dialects. Goes beyond an accent when the words and turns of phrase are different, not just the pronunciation.
I'm from Texas, I joined the Navy in 1970 and met so many people with different accents and phrases but even more socking was when I was told the same thing! I talk slow with a Southern drawl and my "flowers" sounds like "fly-yours" and some people never heard of "fixin-to" I'm fixin'to do go! Remember this was way before electronic devices and you had 3 TV channels one being local if you were lucky. So people weren't as knowledgeable about each other as they are now.
@@AwakenedKraken Hey! Same! Only . . . I lost my accent. The only time the Southern drawl slips out is when I get angry. The weird part is that it changes randomly. Sometimes it's a really thick drawl, and other times it's the old Georgian accent like you hear in "Gone With the Wind" or with the aristocrats in "Django Unchained". Namely Calvin Candy (Leonardo DiCaprio's character).
Yes, every dog understands that. I have a sound I make anytime my pets, dogs and cats, do anything wrong and it stops them in their tracks. "Eehh!", don't know why it works but it does. I also tap on the glass door when I want the dogs to come inside, even my daughters dogs know this. They pick things up so quickly.
It’s never a real technician. It’s always the son of your uncle’s coworker who swears that he’ll give you a good deal. He’s already fcked up a ton of other projects around the neighborhood, but he’s cheap and “family” so you give him a shot. Lmao
I had an independent AC repairman for several years who sent his mother and often his brother as well when he couldn’t make it. (In Louisiana, having your AC down is considered kind of an emergency.) She was just as good as he was, which is to say excellent. Once when they told me the charge, I was so shocked at how low it was considering the hours they had been there, that I paid them close to double the amount they quoted because to pay that price felt like stealing.
When I moved to Louisiana in 10th grade- I had lived in Texas, Georgia and a Tennessee previously. We moved to Cajun country southern Louisiana and I COULD not understand them at all. And one kid asked me if I didn’t understand English I said no I speak country not Cajun! 😂😂 As a I’ll admit bitchy unhappy to have moved 16 yo girl my mother didn’t believe me that I couldn’t understand anyone. She didn’t start her new job until well over a month after we moved, so had limited interactions. So one day we are running errands and kept asking people to repeat themselves. She looked at me and said I’m sorry I didn’t believe you! 😅
I was traveling through Georgia and got lost. Me and my wife were going to visit her family outside Atlanta. I am a northerner and my wife lived in the north about 30 years. I stopped asked directions from a person walking along side the road. I didn't understand a word she said. My wife asked with a deep southern drawl and translated for me. Her accent came back on force when talking to southerners. I had never noticed any accent before.
My husband made fun of me for saying that when we met. Said he'd never heard it before in his life. I didn't believe him. Of course. 😂 We both grew up in Michigan, but I have Southern parents and spent my summers at my Uncle's dairy farm in KY
Lmfao. I was the southern translator at the company I worked for. I’m a yankee myself, but both parents were raised in the south and I come from a huge family with relatives in nearly every southern state. I could tell what state in the south most people came from too. We had a representative from NC that I was the only one that could understand her.
I'm fluent in north, south, Florida, and Louisiana. But I can't control it so sometimes I slip into an accent and people look at me like I have multiple personalities.
I actually used to have to translate my step-brother TO HIS MOM! Not kidding. My step-brother tended to mumble when he'd talk and my step-mom, his own mother, couldn't understand him but for some reason I could. He would say something to her and then she'd look at me for the transition. Apparently he doesn't mumble anymore.
I'm from Mississippi and moved to New Mexico 11 years ago. I used to work at a call center and had a co-worker ask me to plug in on her call to translate a customer that needed service on his refrigerator. Lol. They asked me if I spoke any other languages. I asked them if Southern counted 😆 🤣 😂
Something that’s not quite right, a little off, a line that’s supposed to be straight but isn’t. It’s a NE Tennessee, SW Virginia, NW N. Carolina Blue Ridge Mountain word. My favorite word.
@@jackmiller4946 Is it a word itself? Or is it a combination of real words, perhaps misspelled or mispronounced in a funny way (like 'yuins', sheeut far, which I DO understand)? And what are they? thanks!
As soon as you used Sigogglin I knew the region of Appalachia y'all are from. I've got family members up there, been there since 1740. I'm first generation born off mountain since then. They's got a different language up yonder. Listen close, easy to figure out. Except “put it in a poke”. If'n you ain't neva heard “Don't take a pig in a poke”, then you neva figure it out. 😊. All ‘em Scotch, and Irish settled up yonder with the English, and brought they's language with ‘em, got mixed together, and stuck. 400 years later, they sound the same. 😊 I'm in Florida now. Worked for a theme park for couple decades, in the airport gift shop. Years ago got a new manager from the park, they were amazed at how many different languages were spoken in our shop, until they got to me... 🤣 The manager asked how many languages do you speak? So I counted off on my fingers: English, Southern, Country, Red Neck, Appalachian, Hillbilly if'n I have to, and I can understand Yankees I just have a hard time speaking it, so about 7. They said are you kidding? No, there's lots of customers that wait at my register because they cain't understand the other ladies. I'll have a line when their registers are empty. 😳🤯😲 (Yup, token white woman, only one they'll talk to.) I've had a line across the store long, about 15 - 20 yards long; and 5 other registers empty, with cashiers standing behind them trying to call people over. I'm just smiling ear to ear, trying not to laugh. “Y'all have a nice day” is what kept them in my line. They all spoke Southern! So having a Southern Translator was too very important to that shop. Manager was floored. Asked quiet off to the side, “why didn't the others walk up to people and say they could ring them up at their register?”. 🤣 “Because eets not my yob man...” in my best faux Spanish accent. Enough said. At least one of the ladies helped me bag and wrap. One got back stock frames, figurines, and watches. I just translated and rang them up. That manager eventually got to see when that happened again. Southern flights prefer someone they can understand. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵🙂✌️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️
I don’t know how to feel about the fact that I know what he’s talking about. I’m from South Carolina and my dad does air conditioning work, so this just sounds like a dinner table conversation
Man, you don’t jump straight to “GO ON GIT!” You gotta hit ‘em with that “…Welll, I’mma let’cha go now…” It’s practically a guarantee, and if you need a little extra to seal the deal, whip out that “Holler at me if ya need anything.”
Only place I've ever had trouble understanding people in person is Houma, LA and the surrounding areas. Took me 2 weeks before I could understand most of what people were saying
Hello! My name is Kristen, and I was born 1980, in beautiful Southern California! We are talking beaches every Saturday, and horse back riding and palm trees the rest of the week! In 1989 at the age of Nine years old my father thought it would be a great Idea to move to the Great state of Mississippi! My I just say I love southern people but this move was the BIGGEST culture shock known to man. It was like going back in time about 100s. But this video near on sums up the South! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I've got friends who have overstayed their welcome at my house I say, "Welp... Looks like it's about time for you cowpokes to be hittin the ol dusty trail." and if that doesn't work, I break out the "Go on, git!"
A friend of ours who was transplanted to N Louisiana from the Houma area used to say, rising to his feet right around 10pm, “Well, Mary Frances, let’s go on to bed so these good people can leave.” Not particularly Southern, but it got us out of there laughing.
"Tumped over" 😂🥰 I said that when I was a tiny kid and my Texan mother thought I'd invented the phrase. Must have been a past life something because no one said it around me before that.
I get so excited every time I see you on my feed the "ain't no count" cracks me up being from small town Tennessee, when I went to school at UNOH everyone used to make fun of me for talking like that and ain't no count being one of my favorites haha love you man
Had an uncle who could say that in perfect pitch to make the dog scatter from under our feet trying to get out of car , and my new job .. southern translator, free of charge paid in full by JESUS ♥️🐱😇😇😇
“Go’ona, giiit” got me dying 🤣 - If that was any other so’folk, they’d be hopping shotty and switch for that boi to hopscotch! Some here don’t like no foolerins hanging about.
Goodness gracious I've heard them "go on now git!" A time or 2 back in my hay day... usually it was the fathers saying "go on n git boy!" 🤷♂️🤷♂️ hey boys will be boys ..
