I was going to write an “edumicated” post this week, but instead I thought I would share some of the words used in my small town Delaware
1. Instead of using the word sink Its “Zink”
2. Since that won’t work is said, “Be-ins-zat” it won’t work.
3. I got to go to the “BAFROOM”
4. Instead of saying you and I, it’s “MUN’YOU” For the longest time I thought they were asking for a menu!
5. I just bought me a new “EXPOSITION” (Expedition)
6. I’m sorry but “I GOTS” to go.
7. “I’ll GET UP AND DOWN WICHA”
8. Where is “USE-GUYS” going?
9. Well, I’ll talk to you later “UMM-BYE”.
10. I am trying to “AXE” you a question.
11.Are you “FEREAL” or “KIDDEN” me?
12.We’re gonna get right down to the hardware store and “SO-FORTH” and pick up some “WHATNOTS”
13. In my small town they say, “Can I have a glass of WOODER” You know, h-d-0
Every so often you can see a funny look on the other guys face while standing in line and that’s when I say, “Is that English?”
Some time its fun to take a cheep shot at the slang used in everyday life. People become so complacent with how they act and what the say. I don’t think they realize what they are saying.

Regionalisms. Makes life fun. I saw WARSH (I’m from Illinois) and it drives my kids crazy.
My TT is up.
We had some funny ways of saying words too in the small southern town that I grew up. For a long time I thought everyone said ya’ll. And I’m fixin’ to go somewhere. Another one is I reckon so.
Well, to us you can say what ever and we’ll think it’s something english anyway, because we’re swedish 😉
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend.
