Adding the written words onscreen is a great addition!
I agree
I could listen to y'all talk all night. Stay true ladies! God bless.
Thank you so much 😀
These videos are great! Please keep them coming.
Same
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank y’all, Please do👍
You can tell this family is real close to
Each other. They are FUN to watch and
ENTERTAINING to listen to.
I've always enjoyed the vocabulary tests, and your young ladies have such a sense of fun it makes the tests are even better!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia here in north of Ireland we still use a lot of these
@@fullofhope2222 it is my understanding that the people of Appalachia are Irish descendants. if you listen to the music you can really hear the "Irish". the dancing too.
@@jackdunn7441 yes!! I love to watch history of how my ancestors settled there - there are still some words they use from home - love it - i did visit the region 15 years ago but its not the same as meeting the 'community'
@@jackdunn7441 Scotch-Irish in particular. The fiddle was a mainstay and you can hear it all in the bluegrass music of central Appalachia. Sometimes lonesome and always telling a story.
I love how you make my brain turn its gears to remember things, LOL. More that come to mind: “dollop”=heaping spoonful; “tad”=a little bit; “hick’em ups”= hiccups; “straggler”=someone in a group who gets separated and arrives late; “scrawny”=very thin and often bedraggled; “bedraggled” or “raggedy”=dirty, disheveled; “gumption”=initiative, courage; “buggy”=shopping cart; “cotton to”=have a liking for something; “truck”=to barter or to associate with (“I don’t [hold no] truck with people like him”); “gullywasher”=heavy rainstorm; “stitch”=a painful catch in your side; “shimmy up”=climb; “Hie”=hurry (“Hie yourself right over here, young lady”; “clear your cobwebs”=snap out of it, shake off your fatigue or mental slowness); to “sit on your haunches” or “hunker”=to squat; “hunker down”=stay protectively in one place for a time; “dawdle”=to move slowly or waste time; “tore out”=left in a hurry; “[s]moosh”=squish=squash; “dander”=temper; “Tall cotton” or “high cotton”=luxury, wealth (She sure fell in tall cotton, didn’t she?); I “purt near did” or “like to have done” something=I almost did that; “a passel”=many; “bumptious”=pushy; “crotchety”=bad tempered; “goozle” or “craw”=throat; “stuck in your craw”=something upset you so much you couldn’t get your words out; “lickin”=spanking; “fractious”=irritable; a “set-to”=a squabble; “might ought(‘n) to”=should probably.
Wow! Thanks! That was a lot to remember🐝❤️🤗
Very nice recollection collection! My nephews (from San Diego county) like to use gumption a lot. Also "gription" for traction. I counted 18 that have come up in my golden state travels.
@@antilogism hahahah, my sons use “gription” as well. Not a word I grew up with, but they love it!
wow - most of these are in our everyday usage! -NOT all, some I've never heard of : tall cotton, a 'set-to', hie - although used in the sentence is easy to understand. I think I have read so many 'old time' books (like Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, etc.) where they use the lingo, that I am very used to these words. Also I watch a LOT of shows like Andy Griffith, and Beverly Hillbillies where this is just their common language, so it sounds totally normal to me. I guess i didn't really realize these aren't normally used for a lot of people. Great job remembering all these. although I recognize them, I would never be able to come up with such a list!
Great list. I grew up in Memphis. Both sets grandparents in rural MS. I have heard all of your list when growing up. I am 71.
bright verbal young ladies.....somebody has done a pretty good job raising them!!!
So pure and wholesome. Beautiful girls to listen to and watch their antics.😇
Omg! Just love Katie’s personality. She cracks me up.
I love the interaction between the three of you! Always enjoyable, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Your girls crack me up 😂😂😂❤️
😀 They are a hoot!
Thanks for bringing back childhood memories and vocabulary of days gone by…. I sit here and listen and realize how many words were spoken by my family growing up. Bless you all!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Same here! I still use many of these words.
@@maryf3219 thank you, as I move along in life I find myself thinking of my younger years.
@@gregbutterfuss8590 I think we all do that as we age. For me, some memories are starting to 'dwindle.' lol
Yes, my grandparents families are all in Mississippi and the words and accent are the same or extremely similar. Some of them migrated from Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.
Love hearing the talk... feels like home. Comfortable and peaceful.
The girls are just too cute. They have such great personalities.
I love it, I'm Scotch-Irish descended & live within the realm of Appalachia; I'm a mid-Maryland city slicker, but some of/A LOT of Appalachia lingo, slang, & terminology permeates not just my typical everyday vocabulary, (I revel in it & talk as much Appalachian as I can) but also many other folks that probably don't even realise where their daily vocab even comes from. Keep up the GREAT content, y'all REALLY inspire a whole lotta regional pride! God bless y'all!!!
I’m from the north, but I went to college in Appalachia and I remember learning that a poke was a bag when I was there! I had never heard that before. I really enjoy these videos 😊
I don't know why I knew that one! ( It could be it was on a previous vocab lesson? but the girls didn't know it, so ???)
@@mchrysogelos7623 Right? 😆 I had no idea what my friends were talking about when I first got to college. They had to explain to me that a poke was just a bag. In fact, I’m pretty sure they told me it was a paper bag.
As in "I bought a pig in a poke"
If you said Case around here someone would think you was talking about a knife! Case knives was my Papa's favorite brand of knife, and Winchester was our favorite brand of shotgun ammo.
Sure did forget about all today's troubles looking at those beautiful smiles and hearing about word's I've heard growing up and a few I hadn't! Thank you girls for the laughs 😄
Thank you Rowdy! Matt loves Case brand knives too 😀
This video is very entertaining those girls had me rolling!! Love the way they play off each other's personality⚘⚘
You ladies jogged my memories of the days we thought would last forever. Now the shadows are gaining & memories are greater than the exploits. Keep on shucken the kernels of Appalachian life.
Lol! I loved Katie's moth story. 😆
In New England we used "wicked" the way you use "mortally". "We had a wicked good time at the party. They served wicked good pie. The walk home was wicked cold, though." Having lived in Texas until I was 12, though, I could not stop saying "ya'll". I say them in the same sentence now and then. Here in Seattle, that gets some looks. I miss both the northern Maine accent, and the southwest Texas one. And I miss living in the country side, with country folks! We have wicked bad traffic here, ya'll!
We still use "wicked" in New England. And, living a few years in the SW, I also use y'all and freely mix it with wicked. You have to use y'all cause how else are you gonna refer to more than one person at a time?! I love the country side, too, but, because my kids are not white, I always worry about going there now. ☹️
I would say "That pie was killer!" Upper East Tennessee.
Sounds like the girls are right on top of the Vocabulary Test this evening, good job. I always enjoy the classes in Appalachian Vocabulary.Thanks Tipper for Sharing and Have a Good Evening 🙂.
They did do better 😀 Thank you Donald!
I grew up on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick Canada and can say that I remember hearing some of the same words and phrases when I was younger. Thank you so much for your passion and sharing.
Loved this! I'm a new subscriber & I grew up with so many of these words! I live in a very small town in Southwest Virginia & I miss hearing my momma & daddy talk about their lives growing up! I'm 63, the youngest of 4. I'm proud of my Appalachian heritage. Now I'm gonna go take a peek at the first vocabulary lesson! This is fun! Hugs & blessings! 🤗
Thank you Debbie!! So glad you're enjoying our videos 😀
Oh, I love this. I didn't know all of them, but I knew a bunch of them. My favorite part of the video is hearing Katie say "get shet of". That is just such a colorful expression.
My grandmother said that.
I've been watching and enjoying your videos and I've come to realise that my mother in laws family must have come from the Appalachias. She had the talk, the vocabulary and the recipes that you've shown. She was born in Arkansas and has been gone now many years. Watching your videos brings back many memories of her. So thank you for that.
Apple=fruit is very interesting. Before the French conquered England in 1066 AD, apple was just the old english word for all fruit in general.
Fascinating!
Thank Y’all! This was “awful”(very) fun! I haven’t heard so many of these words in years. Someone else mentioned, it was like spending time with my Mama and Daddy again. You are such a sweet and good hearted Family.🤗🤗🤗
I grew up heading these words( I’m from E.Tennessee ) I think it’s a real shame you don’t heard them so much anymore. I love your channel watching takes me back in time.Keep up the good work.Thanks Miss Tipper you are a treasure.God Bless!
You know the thing I like the most about these. And even the accent challenge. Sure they have the words. But I like the interim where people are just talking as they normally do on a daily basis. To me that's what truly brings out the accents from different regions. Because I've noticed people have a couple different ways they talk usually. If it's a formal or if you think about it too much people tend to tone down their accent. But if you get them to not thinking about it their accent and dialect come right back out.
Love y’all vocabulary tests still use the old words here in eastern Kentucky thank y’all keep them coming want to see more god bless
We use most of these words in my area. I love how we talk. Everyone at work laughed at me one day though. I told a client to just “ mash “ the button and take a ticket. I explained you could take a girl out of the country, but not the country out of the girl. My sister even makes up new words. Her college professors would challenge her to find the words in the dictionary, but we just have our own little family language. It is nice to have inside joke words only we know. I have definitely heard my mom call me a heifer once when I was being stubborn. In my childhood the worst thing a Southern woman could be called was an old biddy or a hussey. Those were fighting words for sure. Hope the rest of your week runs smooth. Enjoyed the lesson.
Have you ever heard the word "mommick" or "mommicked" before? I grew up, and still reside in, New Bern, NC. My mama had family in Davis and Atlantic, NC and that was a word I grew up hearing a lot. Example: After Santa Claus finishes his deliveries on Christmas Eve, he might exclaim "If I ain't been mommicked this night"! Means you've been treated mighty poorly, or been put through a trial [not a court trial] by someone or something. You're give out with the whole thing.
@@johnnabuzby6103 that is definitely one, I've not heard before!!!!
@@mchrysogelos7623 Yup. It's not from Appalachia, but it does come from North Carolina. It's from Down East in Carteret County, NC [not Maine]...along the coast of North Carolina. They've [the old-timers] got a Down East brogue so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Thank you! We say mash too 😀
I have heard mommick a few times. Language and accents are so much fun. I love how language changes through the years and bends to suit our needs.
Thank you for this channel!!! I love it!! Some of these I knew and then some of them, I didn't. The ones I did know, I still use to this very day!! Thank you ladies for sharing.
Good time on the quiz girls! Speaking of traditions, I noticed Katie not only wears a wrist watch (rare today) but on her right wrist. This was a common tradition years ago that women wore a watch on their right wrist and men on their left. I remember my mom telling me this many years ago when I was a youngster. Most women now wear a watch on their left wrist like men, if at all. lol.
I love these tests and getting to hear from the girls. They are sooo funny. I like it whenever you have members of the family in the videos. Words and language are such a big part of whatever culture you come from. I notice that when I'm in big groups of people from all over that I automatically trust and drift to the folks who speak like I do. Another great video Mrs. Tipper😃 I'm also loving the the last two chapters of Mountain Path that you have read to us and I can't wait to hear more. God bless
Love these vocabulary tests! And the sibling rivalry in giving the answers. I remember a lot of these words from my grandparents and great-grandparents.
Your girls are adorable and you did a wonderful job of raising them !
What lovely, delightful, intelligent women. How blessed they are to be your daughters and based in the mountain culture.
If only you had made these vids a few years earlier. I could have shared them with my grandmother before she left us. My grandparents were born and raised in the Westbourne to LaFollette areas of eastern TN. Nanny was 96 when she passed but her mind was sharp as a tack and I'm sure she would have known a lot of these. One on my favorite words that she used often was 'Yuns', as in "Yuns come back again". I made the trip to Scotland for a friend's wedding in 2019 and while conversing discovered 'Yuns" is a word still in use over there. It was great to see the connection of the early Scottish/ Ulster Scots settlers or Appalachia and Scotland today. Keep up the good work!
I love to watch the girls express themselves. Katie keeps me laughing with her honest and funny answers.
So interesting how language changes. It is important to agree on definitions of words during conversations these days to avoid misunderstanding each other. For example: a person says, “I’m fixing to go.” And a person who only understands “fixing” to mean “repair” would not understand what “to go” is and how to repair it. I travel a lot and I often restate what people are saying to me in the form of a question to be clear we are on the same page, in a friendly way of course and this has cleared up a lot of potential problems. Everyone is taught different languages in the USA. We have college graduates that speak something far different than what I was taught. The important thing is that we take the time to understand their thoughts rather than the words they actually use.
I'm from Lancaster County, PA and I know alot of these words,sayings. None of my ancestors came through Appalachia. I think alot of sayings come from the countries they emigrated from,and are just Americanized over the years. 🙂
I grew up in Chambersburg, PA. So Central PA does include Appalachia, but not the core, more like the periphery. In PA, MD and parts of VA, you get a strong PA Dutch influence as well.
Pennsylvania is Appalachia we just don’t identify as such
Again being from Arkansas, I am amazed at the words I knew. Having heard these from birth, I am now convinced that my ancestors spent time in the Appalachian mts. Or came from there. Will have to check and see.
like she said most of these words and phrases were brought over with the people when they first came, and from there, it spread all over. It just sticks around longer in places like Appalachia where people stay in one place for generations.
Thanks for watching 😀
@@mchrysogelos7623 that would not explain my family as they moved around a lot. Only were in Arkansas for my lifetime. I am the first generation born and raised solely in Arkansas.
My Granny use to say things were larrupin, usually talking about gravy or the like. She also said "tough as a pine knot." I loved her expressions. She also would use "kindly". In East Texas a heifer is a female bovine that has not had a calf yet and we use heifer to refer to a woman that is being a little twit. I enjoyed this. I hope you enjoy your day. Be sure to hug someone today! C
I could listen to those lovely accents all day! Sure makes me miss my home state of KY. Thanks for sharing.
I’m born to two immigrant parents and raised in metro NY, and I knew, or figured out, nearly all of them. But ‘fruit’ meaning apples was one that went completely over my head!
😊
From Kansas, and moved to nc/va and I know so many of these,. Ohhh so In love 😻
I was able to show my momma this video, and she smile, laugh. Every time she knew a word or used it.. Thank you so much. For making these videos.
I'm so glad she enjoyed it-thank you!
You're daughter's are too funny! I still say a lot of these words at 32, which makes me happy that my children might know and say them. Language is such an interesting part of our culture!
I really don't know how to explain this, (so I don't sound crazy) but all of you give me a little faith in humanity somehow.
Thank you Tom.
I was born in WV, and raised till I was 6. My family still lives there, hearing yalls voices just takes me home.
Oh my goodness! I knew a lot of those words! I was shocked!! Some I use often. Thanks you for the video. ❤️
I have herd so many of these phrases and words from my fathers family in Jackson ,Ohio growing up . Most of them are goneand I am an old lady myself. This has really taken me back to what my father called The Hillsdown home.. Loved it!I feel like I spent some time with my family.
Great job on both raising such good kids and sharing their wonderful and funny takes on some of the words that you test them on. TY again.
Not sure if yall know or have heard this term before but a lil farther up the mountains in WV some of us use the word (Sigoggled) to describe our roads and other things that are all uneven and warped. Loved the video as always. Yall are solid gold
I have that's a great word 😀 Thank you!
One of my favorite words! Sigogglin= the art of being crooked or uneven🐝❤️🤗
Never heard that word before, but have sure seen plenty of sigoggled roads!
Katie needs a "Tile" for her keys. My husband got for me and they are wonderful. Never lose your keys or your phone again!
Also, we just discussed "millers" and moths the other night. My husband (from North Carolina) had never heard a moth called a Miller. I had to call my sister (also born in WV) to back me up. 😄 he thinks I make stuff up.
From Eastern NC, and i've never heard one called a miller, either. I got a bait of Yankees at my church, tho, it'll be fun to mess with them
@@letsnotgothere6242 hahaha 😆 now that right there is funny. Mountain people have a lot of funny sayings. I have a friend from Maine. She just shakes her head and goes on.
I am from SW Ohio but my mom was from Eastern Kentucky and we always called the small slender moths millers. Just recently, I found out that there is a superstition about killing a miller being bad luck. I had never heard that, or if I had, I didn't remember. I never had an inclination to kill a miller or moth, anyway, so I guess that's good, just in case. lol.
@@melissawalker3888 yes...just in case. 😆
Seems like I remember that but I remember it being said as Miller bugs.
My mom's family says all those words. Love the vocabulary test videos y'all are such a wonderful family. Thanks for the videos 😊
My family has always used all these I grew up in a little town in Atlanta GA this is how we all talk from there lol ....love it..
My mama and daddy were from Oklahoma, and they actually used a lot of these words. I really loved listening to them! It brought back memories. Thank you for the great video! 💕👍🙏
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
So did my mother’s family ❤from southeastern okla
I like Katie's flint rock answer lol Cyarn was one of my mother's fav words. Yes we need more of these type video, tis a joy to watch.
Love it, see if you can get the girls to create a short story using all those uncommon words and phrases.
Love your channel and language study. I purposely use all the words my family has used before me. We should keep that alive and passed to the next kin. Thanks for your efforts. We need to keep our ancestral differences alive. Seems like the older I get, the thicker my Okie accent gets🌻🌻🌻
Hi Tipper ,Cory & Katie
Nice to see you guys 🌸
Thank you! Hope you've had a good day 😀
For "calf rope" we'd always use: "Say, 'Uncle'!" Speaking about "flint stone" or "flint" isn't that used of someone who's stingey? I seem to remember it being used about someone who wasn't very generous with their money.
We'd use "heifer" a lot when speaking of a hateful woman. . . or an "old sow" which is worse!! lol! Instead of Kersplunge, we'd say "Kersplash"! I've heard most of these, but not all of 'em! Thanks for sharing the fun & the culture of Appalachia! (Most all of my family came through Appalachia, but moved on over to west-central Illinois, where we are today!) P.S. Have you seen Donny Laws about Appalachia?? I enjoy his videos here, on UA-cam, too!
Heard "skin flint` as a kid. Seemed to mean someone who always expected more than was worth on a trade.
@@whatifitistrue7408 You said exactly what I was going to say.
Skinflint?
Thank you Roger! I love Donnie's channel 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Yw! :-D
I grew up in Texas but my parents were from Arkansas and Mississippi respectively and we certainly had a lot of this same vocabulary in our house. It brought back memories of family trips to visit relatives that are now long past. ❤️
From the UA-cam channel “lost in the pond” talking about the difference between the English spelling of “tyre” and the American version “tire”, to this channel.
Excellent channel thanks for the trip down memory lane
So glad you enjoyed the video 😃
I love the vocabulary tests! Your girls are beautiful inside and out, thanks for sharing, Miss Tipper!
These are great fun and so educational!!
I think they've been watching Celebrating Appalachia. Good job Tipper.
I think you might be right 😀 Thank you Ron!
Some of my family migrated out west. We still retain some of the language. I remember some of these words not all of them. I love listening to all y'all. God bless y'all.
I grew up in Memphis and both parents were from MS. I knew most of those words. I am 71 and heard and used many growing up. My mother's grandparents did come North Carolina but I just thought of these words were used by Southern country folks. My mother and her sister left the farm to go to Business College in Memphis, married and stayed there. I have always lived in the South, Memphis, Mobile and Atlanta mostly. Now retired in FL. I never heard the word for bag or Miller for a moth. I know most about my mother's side as my mother's ccousin did a family tree. I love history of all kinds.
I love hearing the language and history. Do y’all have more about the music bc I saw the pressley girls video about it and playing by ear which is a big thing in my heritage… my mom’s grandfather, she, and I all share this trait. I’ve always loved hearing the cadence of it there’s a movie that showed it called “songcatcher ” anywho love y’all’s channels and seeing the Appalachian history that is very near and dear to my family and ancestry :)
Thank you!! Look in the description below for links to our other channels which have more music 😀
I've heard most of these words growing up! So fun to hear them again.
She held back that first yawn.
I enjoy your channel.
The best to you and yours.
It's interesting the different take the girls have on the olden words. Most of them I'd heard but some were new to me. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
I was born and raised in central Alabama. I knew most of these words but not all of them. My grandpaw was appalacian. I really enjoyed the video and will add some of these words to my vocabulary. I married a gal from up north and shes always laughing at my words. Keep them alive. Thank yall for the videos
Love listening to yall...We have few of these words in Vermont. Not all, but few.
I love these tests. They are so funny and helpful.
Some of the guys I was in the service with had a few good ones. "that there is ignorance gone to seed" "carry me to the store" "put up the window light" (means put up the shade) he's fumbly" "Dumb as a stump" He's hafly right"
Catie is a dollbaby! Love to hear her talk!
Your daughters are adorable. Thank you again for sharing.
Thank you for your valuable contribution to saving an important part of history!
My grandpa was from Kentucky and he called tendons leaders. Haven't thought of that in a long time.
that was one I have never heard of!
😀
My two girls are itty bitty right now but I love to see your girls do stuff like this together and it makes me look forward to seeing mine grow up. Blessings!
Those girls always make me laugh during these vocabulary tests😊
I grew up outside of Atlanta in the 90s, but my grandmother was raised in the rural area right at the Georgia Alabama line in the 20s. I would say I grew up learning & using about 60 percent of these words. :) Language is wonderfully odd!
Lovely ladies with lovely southern accents.
You have wonderful daughter's .A sign of great parents .
Great stuff. Such a rich tradition and creative language.
Southern NC here. We say "mull over" instead of "mill over". Love the videos!
I use "dwindle" and several others💖
😀
It’s very interesting I’m learning a lot and the girls make all the words really cute is probably why I had to watch this second video Thank you
You sound just like my mom’s side of the family and it’s so great to hear these words again. Thank you ❤!!!
Tipper one for you "got a hitch in your get along"
Love that one 😀
I'm from SW Pennsylvania, raised rural. Got a lot of this.
The Pinettes did better on Test 2 than on the first. Those we got wrong include: disfurnish, ideal, job, and cyarn. Although we had never heard stripedy, we guessed it correctly. We thought our performance was good enough to exempt us from garden clean-up and fall planting. But, we haven't planted our garlic yet, so we'd better get crackin'. It's 24 degrees as I type this and we got a dusting of snow yesterday. If we don't plant soon, we'll need a hammer drill to get the cloves in the ground!
Have a wonderful day, Tipper and family!
YOU PUT THE WORDS ON THE SCREEN! 🙂YAAY🎉
Thank you so much! 💕
Washington State🙏🇺🇸💪
Another cool video, the Ricky Bobby quote "Ricky Bobby don't you job yourself in the leg with that knife."was my fav. part of this one. 👍👍
I got most of them again. wee! Love it . Born and raised in a small isolated community and guess we kept all that stuff. I mean I don't use it so much now, but know it so well. Good to hear.
Katie favors the Wilsons...
How cool is that. Being a Wilson myself.
My people are from Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas.
I have often thought about moving as far South as I can.
A poke is an improvised cone shape paper bag for condiments or sweets. These are cone shaped like an ice cream cone. It is also a big bag. A pig in a poke comes from when performers visited fairs and had a bag which inside was a 'pig'. The performer then shook the bag and by slip of hand the pig had disappeared. If you are buying a pig in a poke, you are not buying what you think you are buying. The seller is selling you 'a pig in a poke' ie you could be buying anything and not what you think you are buying.
The words that you are using are Scots Irish dialect words. This is also mixed in with hiberno English which all arrived in Ireland in the 17th century. The Scots settlers subsequently took this language to America.
Thank you for your videos. I trust that some day you will visit Northern Ireland and that you enjoy having a good conversation in 'The hamely tongue'. I will end with a modern saying often used here how.
'Keep her lit!'
Kind regards
George
Thank you George 😀
I say figuring too. Down in Central Florida.💕Some of these are very old English which isn't surprising because the beautiful Appalachian people mostly came from the British Isles.
