Well we all hear about the way we talk down South.....   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?
