I tried once and it sneaks back out. 🤣 My husband grew up 100 miles away in Dallas and has no accent. I love hearing accents from all over the world.

    Grocery cart. Cart. In a pinch, yes I have called it a basket…..but from a distance. If I’m already pushing it: if it’s less than three feet from my person, then it’s always a cart. Why? Not sure, just a thing my people & I do.
    All “soft drinks” are Cokes unless otherwise specified.
    Oil is not “all”. Oil is pronounced with two syllables as in oy-yull.
    The TV remote is the remote. If I hear “clicker”, I go all Greta Thunberg.
    “Hey ya’ll” is the standard greeting upon first meeting.. “Bye ya’ll” indicates an impending departure. In my part of Texas, “Hey” took over as Hi, when I was a kid, though Hi is still used, hi and hey are now used interchangeably.
    We used to “paper” houses. But I’m 62 and that could have been what was said back in the early 70’s when I was a mere sapling. Geographic locale might have been factor as well.
    Granddaddy Longlegs, but Daddy Longlegs isn’t out of the realm of possibilities.
    It’s puh-KAHN. Never PEE-can. And it’s PRAY-leen. PRAH-leen if you’re a Yankee. Paula Dean really should know better….but then again, she incorrectly serves brown gravy, instead of thick, creamy white country gravy with her fried chicken…WRONG!!!!!
    I have heard the phrase “The Devil is beating his wife” if the sun comes out while it’s still raining. It’s not all that popular any longer, but not completely foreign. What’s weirder is that if it continued to thunder as well as rain in the presence of the sun, that meant “the devil was now eating redhots”. Ya’ll know- -the red, cinnamon candy bits??!
    I never had a Meemaw nor did any of my other friends from my era. There were Nannies, Nanas, Grannies, Mimis & Meemies, maybe even a Gran or Big Mama or two, but while I’d heard of a grandmother referred to as a Meemaw, I never actually knew anyone who used the term.
    Roley Poley??? We called those doodle bugs or pill bugs, right or wrong, that’s what we called those little armadillos of the insect world.
    The store is ALWAYS the grocery store. And it doesn’t matter if you went to the bank first or picked up dry cleaning, you’re still going to “the store”. As the place you’ll spend the most time and money, it gets principle designation. Unless someone has no life and demands a complete break down of your errand itinerary.
    For those playing the home game, I was born and raised in South Central Texas. Educated collegiately in Austin, lived in Houston for 2.5 decades, then retired early and moved to the Texas Hill Country, NW of San Antonio, just SW of Austin.
    So there.

    Your accent is definitely genuine, but I am struck by how differently you answered some of the questions than I would, coming from just north of San Antonio in what I would call Central Texas (but bordering South Texas). We would say we're going to T.P. someone's house. We call them pill bugs, not rolley polies. Carbonated drinks are sodas or soda water ("What kinda soda water d'y'all want?"). The "wheeled contraption" is a shopping cart. The San Antonio accent is slightly different, I'd say, but pretty close! You say "friend" and "ten" almost the same, as if they are two-syllable words- "Fray-und" and "tay-un," and I don't think it is as strong as that around here, but I hear more nasal twangs than what I hear from you. Of course, so many people are moving to Texas. Back in the 60's and 70's everyone talked like the same. Our accents are fading quickly.

I got “pill bug” from her. Maybe there was a German influence to that term? I don’t know. I was born into a military family and didn’t move to Texas until I was 13. We called them rolly polies before I got to Texas.

    It's not a "roly poly", it's a "doodle bug". The wheeled contraption (I LOL'ed that) is indeed, a "buggy". (I'm a transplanted Txn to WA state, they have no clue why I called their shopping carts "buggies". Less letters?) You been to my store, haven't yuh? Carbonated drinks are "cokes" when someone knows which one you always drink. Then you have to tell 'em "diet dr. pepper not the real one". They're not "tennis shoes"; they're "tenny shoes". All y'all = alluhyall. Spider=daddy longlegs (usually) but I call 'em dead--no matter what kind. Rainfall when sun shines=devil beating his wife. Dove "coo"=rain crow. (that was a freebie) Thing you change channels with = "that thing you switch the channels with" (I'm 68 and I still cain't get used to switchin' channels without punching a button ON the tv with my finger or turnin' the dial) Though I live in a state known for its "salmon" I refuse to say "sammon". It's SALMON. Just like it's spelled. I'm from Houston TX. Not all native Texans speak like she does (or me), I think you need about three generations of drawlers before they get it 'right'.

    Your accent is EXACTLY the way to talk good English that I learned from my Texan girlfriend very many years ago.
    In fact, I had difficulties understanding English with a different accent, like radio and television programs, something that I had to learn during the following years.
    First time in London, and I couldn't understand hardly anything from what was said through the loudspeakers at the subway or from the taxi drivers.
    She was from Port Arthur, and we had been a very close couple for several years before I visited her family and friends there carrying my Southeast Texas accent without having been there before.
    I do believe that I learned an excellent English language, although I always had and still have some US accent.
    Nice and easy-going people that I met around Beaumont, Orange, and Port Arthur. The Golden Triangle as they used to call it.
    Someone told me that with my accent I shouldn't say that I was Spanish, because in fact I was a Spaniard coming from the other side of the puddle at the coast near France, where weather is much milder than the damn heat we had there in summer BTW.
    Hot as hell and humid down there on the coast at the gulf near Houston.
    No hurricanes at Northern Spain either!
    Thank you very much for sharing the lovely accent of yours.

      I'm from the "brush country" between Corpus and Laredo, but I've been living in the LRGV for 14 years and I have noticed that the Hispanics here don't sound like the vaqueros I grew up with. The Hispanics north of here do have a Texas accent, but if they have lived in a larger town all their lives, then not so much. People in the Rio Grande Valley generally don't have much of an accent unless they grew up in the "ranch country" north of here or they are native Texan "Anglos". The winter Texans down here have various different accents, but none of them are Texas accents or even southern accents.
      Also, in addition to not having a Texas accent, most of the young people in the "Valley" are citified through and through; I hardly ever meet anyone under the age of 40 who has ever touched a cow. And another thing, over the last 20 years, fewer and fewer young people speak much Spanish. It seems like Spanglish is taking over.
