    Oh my goodness! I laughed so much with this video. This is the first time Matt took this test, huh? He done great, though! I enjoyed hearing you guys laughing as I was laughing with y'all. Thank you for the video, Tipper. I have always appreciated Language, having been a teacher. Bless you for keeping the Appalachian Language alive. Have a Blessed evening.☕

    I grew up in Appalachia (far eastern TN) and have heard and or use around 90% of the words in these kinds of your videos. However, I had never heard the term “unfed” that y’all use. I absolutely love that and have adopted it in to my everyday life. You are doing a wonderful job celebrating Appalachia for the world to see! Thanks!

    All of your videos on Appalachian language are delightful! I know you're aware of the judgement often passed on folks for speaking a certain way and here you are celebrating a special communication gathered from generations of immigrants. I hope more and more people discover your channel and begin to understand and embrace the celebration of cultural language, traditions, recipes and ways of life! Thank you, so much, for breaking down another barrier!!

    I enjoyed this so much! I grew up in E. KY and we had “our own” sayings, using language a lot like this. I hadn’t heard of several of these ten words! In my area there were words and sayings we had that might not have been used in the western part of our state. After college, my husband and I moved north to another state, where we noticed lots of different words/language! Our accent was different there, too! This was a lot of fun! Thanks, Tipper!

    I passed your test and hubby and I had fun playing along. I was exposed to all these rich words and the culture to go along with it.

    I grew up in Appalachia Ohio and I grew up hearing “red up the room”. My boys grew up hearing “Redd up the room”. But they have not passed this language onto my grandchildren. So in my direct family, I am the last person using this language. I hope the language is never lost. Like you I love hearing it.

    “Red the table “-my grandmother used that phrase: northern Ohio/ early 1950’s. Wondered where it came from and could only guess it referred to ridding the table of dishes after a meal.

    I love these tests! One of the things that I hold to and treasure is the way my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins talk(ed). My mothers’ side was more “southern belle’, while my fathers’ people were “plain” folk. Both sides from Tennessee, west and east. I love them all and am proud of both sides. Like most these days, we are “blended”. Thank you “everbody”!

    And Far Board, I remembered, too, after I figured out it was fire..lol..

Some may have migrated down south. But I love hearing the different words, accents, and the way you speak. It makes me happy.

I was watching one of your videos the other night where you was talking about the word Vomit. I have heard Varmic, like you said, and I in our house we said Vomic. I love our language. I use to try to talk like we were taught in school, but now I wear our language as a badge of honor. LOL.. The test was fun to watch. Thanks!

    I have always loved to read. American and British slang and manners of speaking are just a delight to me. If you haven't read the James Herriot - All Creatures Great and Small books - he is a master of all the dialects of British speech. Just wonderful books. I love all the old settling of America novels. They tend to have a lot of different dialogs and regional slang words. Old cowboy novels and movies are nostalgic too for 'old timey' words and expressions. I enjoyed this video and knew most of the words. Loved seeing you're girls laugh and have fun with this and then to hear them admit they loved the old words and expressions too.

    That was a lot of fun to watch. Its so interesting to me. I was raised in a german household and live in TN. We didn't say/accent/words/slang from southern US.
    Thanks for sharing Tipper, I really enjoyed this video.

    I flunked out with 40%. Nobody's gonna hist me on their shoulders for that performance! I had fun though, y'all crack me up. God bless!

    What great family fun. I knew several of them. Makes you think the way our kin talked years ago. I miss that and them. Great video Tipper.
