An ole french teacher years ago, told me that: " when we think that someone sounds strange speaking a different language, remember that you sound the same to them...." So just maybe it is the yankees that talk funny...
Here are a few Southern sayings:
1) When they say they know you backwards and forwards it means " They know everything about you..."
2) Fix is a verb as... " I fixing to go to da store..." or "I'm a fixing to..
3) " We'era goin-a " means : We are going some place....
4) " Jeet eat yet?" means: Did you eat yet?
5) " Naw d' yew" means: No did you?
6) " Lookie Over Yonder" means: You have to look over that a way to see something...
7) "Wee auder go hear" means: something we should go (leave)...
8) " Git round to it" means: That is something that we are going to do....
9) "Ya oughter hear" means: something you should do soon.
We will try some more Southern saying again soon, Did ya hear?
