Soooo much if this is familiar to me 💗💗💗
I once asked students to use the word "best" in a sentence. One boy wrote, "You best do what your mom tells you to."
😊
Truer words were never spoken and you can take that to the bank
❤😅😂
My grandson when he was about two, would do so something he was proud of and say, “look-a-hear, look-a-hear.” It was so cute.
😊
Lookie here lookie here wudya
I was raised in FL every single one of these phrases I grew up hearing and saying.
Louisiana too
Definitely true in SW Michigan where I grew up.
True in Louisiana. I have said this several times
I’m definitely Appalachian, through and through. Still use so many of these. My grandma would always say “scat there” after a sneeze; “I’ll be John Brown” meaning well what about that. When I was little I suddenly started whistling all the time and she told me that “A whistling girl and a crowing hen, both will come to the same bad end.” 😂
My Granny use to say the same thing about the whistling woman and a crowing hen.
And she use to say if you laugh to much you would be sick the next day.
I married into a laughing family. I have never laughed so much in my life.
When my father in law passed away I did his eulogy and I mention my Granny's saying and if that was true the whole Baird clan would have dropped over dead because of the laughter in the house. They were known for having so much clean fun.
We still use so many of those sayings here in Northwest Georgia too. My daddy especially used a lot of these old sayings. He would have just turned 94 on Dec 21st. Been gone a few years now. He was country as cornbread and was proud of it.
My husband just brought home a kitten and the lil thing is growing into an absolute heathern.
😊
I knew every one of these. Reckon I qualify as an Appalachian! I have spent much of my life there! ❤
Thanks for sharingTipper. So almost all of this (with the exception of goodest) is just normal every day language that I say and have said all my life. What seems strange to me is that anyone would find it unusual or noteworthy. But it's all just a matter of where you grow up and what you're used to.
Thank you for watching 😊
Grew up with most of these expressions down in the piedmont in Davie county. We’re country here too.
I'm 68 now. My 3 sisters and I still love to kid and joke and laugh about things.
We'll say we got so tickled we like to "fell out" 😂
Ever now and again, one of us will literally fall out of our chair from laughing. 😅
😊
Growing up in the ozark mountains of Arkansas, i thought we were the only ones who said these things!! Lol
😊
Lots of folks migrated from Appalachia to the Ozarks and Ouachitas. Looked more like home than anywhere else they would ever find.
Much obliged for this channel! What'cher hurry, I'm frazzled, I'm give out, I'm done tuckered out! I really enjoy your channel!!!!
What’s interesting is, I grew up in a coastal town north of Boston and a few of these phrases or words were everyday use in our family too. I been living here in the Appalachian south now, near on 25 years and I love the language and it’s roots going back to those hardy Scottish families. ❤
I'm76 and have talked like that my whole life. I knew everyone of the phrases and use them in my everyday talking. Never knowed it was something special talking like that.
I live about as far away from the Appalachian mountains as possible and I use a few of these, especially how come and heaps. 🇦🇺
I feel blessed to have grown up around family who used most of those phrases. I still use a lot them myself. The only two I hadn't heard before are "gadding around" and "lit." One more that I used to hear a lot was "Well, I'll be dogged," which basically means "I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it." Hope y'all had a good Christmas, and can't wait to see what next year brings for y'all!
😂😂 I'm just plum foolish about this family!! ❤ this was wonderful! 👍
I say most of these phrases but it really tickles folks when I say, I ain't done a blessed ( bless-ed) thing today. And gob is a real description of measurement!
😊
I grew up in the rural south, a little place called Wyatt, LA. I have used and I have heard others use these words and phrases on a regular basis, most of my life, all of which were common in our daily conversations. I've always been a bit of a logophile, and just love when you do these.
I say all but a couple of these. I’ve always wondered how come we say “how come” instead of just “why.” 😊
😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia i figure its short for how did that come to be
How come
A deeper why
Like
Looking for the cause of it
Often why get just 'cause.
Or
Maybe why but not the process that brought it forth.
So, how come
I have to admit I use many of these words. Loved the Bloopers!
I love hearing these sayings because i use every one of them still. growing up this is what I was use to hearing my momma say daily most in my county still talk like this here in KY. Love the bloopers ❤
Dang Tipper, this mountain talk done follered us to Texas. We know and use all these words/phrases right here in southeast Texas. We know and use every one of these except one. That one is "My time".. never heard that one, but all the others we say all the time. All the folks we know also say the same. I wish sometime we could spend a bit talking together and you would see our accents are like yourn. We just call it "country talk".Our folks came to Texas from what we reckon through family research a little after the civil war from N.C., AL, WV, TN. They came west to start a new life. I think some even had a ranch near Ft.Worth. The things that stayed the same were the people, their customs, way of life, speech, and food. We eat the same as you.. simple good food grown in our garden. Love to read, watch, and listen. Sounds familiar, looks familiar, just a bit flatter here.
When I hear the sweet old language of Appalachia I feel at home. Thank you all for posting this un. I just love you'uns to pieces!
I'm from Alabama and we use a lot of those sayings. I love it. Wish y'all would do it more. God bless. 🙏❤🙏❤
Grew up hearing…and using…most of these
Words and phrases. God bless and much love! 💕🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻
A lot of this talk is very comparable to Mississippi talk! Lol Mississippians just draw everything out, but still have the same sayings! I love it, and I love your channel.
I love how you used one idiom "powerful dare" to define another idiom "double dog dare". Perfect!
There is so much pride and delight with sharing these! ☺
I say all those thing's. ❤
Love that 😊
My mother was born in Southern Illinois and so was her mother...so it is amazing to me how many of these expressions I grew up using.
That was so fun and the bloopers made it extra special
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
This was fun🙂 I guess I speak like an Appalachian sometimes based on those words 👏👏
😊
This was fun, thank you Tipper and everyone. I use some of those!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Yall are absolutely wonderful!! Love yalls videos.
Thank you!
These are great! I know most of them since I’m from NC….but fall out is a pretty universal term in the medical field. It’s mostly used in the past tense….for example, a patient done fell out, or DFO’d. 😂
Funny, it felt good to laugh 😂😂 I use almost all of these…but…I’ve heard heard of a hog sucker fish, until your video earlier in the summer when you told about working in the fish market!
These sound like normal conversation to me, but I'm a West Virginian. Here's a few more.
Powerful - (pronounced parr-ful) -- it means great or extreme. I've got a powerful hankering for deer jerky.
Poke - A bag. We dug up the taters & put 'em in a poke. Had two of 'em slap full.
This last one is a phrase. My grandmother called my oldest sister a bad cook by saying, "That girl could scorch water."
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕
Some of these I would have no idea what you were saying. Thanks for sharing your idioms with us ❤
My pleasure 😊
That's the way I talk all the time! I reckon it's how I was reared to talk! It's normal to me to hear people speak using these words! Thank you Tipper, Matt, Corie and Katie! Did you hear its posed to Snow a lil? Tipper, I shore hope you do see some even if it's a lil bit... Happy New Year to Y'all... God Bless 🙏🙏❤❤🎄🎄🍭🍭
I hope it does 😊 Thank you!
I knew them all but hog sucker, but I'm guessing it's a carp 🤔
Thanks for the vocabulary review ☺️👍
Northern Hog Sucker

We use these as live or cutbait to catch Flathead and Channel Catfish here in Ohio.
A lot of these I know but not all.
Love your Bloopers 😅
I'm so glad!
This is my everyday way i talk.
I loved this short lil video of y'all.❤️
Y'all feel like distant family to me, our lifestyles and talk are so similar. 💓🙏
Music to my ears! Stay safe, y'all!
The only one I haven't heard or said is "help my time". That was a new one for me. ❤
I sure enjoy those old time sayings, thanks for keeping them alive.God bless.💕 &🙏🙏 For Granny. Jean
I remember my Grandma, Papa, and family using most of these terms. I find that I still do. My grandchildren get a giggle out of some of my 'terms'.
Thanks Tipper, I love the language videos. They are so rich!❤️🇨🇦🙏
I'm glad to know I've been speaking like an Appalachian all my life here in North Texas. Guess I'd fit right in!
Heard most of these growing up, thanks for using them in sentences like you did in this video. The bloopers are so funny! 😃
The Bloopers are priceless! Got me laughing already this morning 😊
I loved these! I still say so many of these! Y'all had me grinning from ear to ear!! I haven't felt well since Christmas so haven't been able to visit hubby last 2 days!! Y'all just don't know how much better I feel now!! Thanks to all the family! I especially got tickled at the bloopers! God bless y'all! Love from VA!
It was so hot... I like to've fell out!... I'm just adding another.
In our family we literally use all these words and phrases... 👍🏻😊
Love it!
Love these mountain talk videos❤❤
Glad you like them!
I’m originally from the city of Richmond VA. I married my husband while we were stationed in AZ. He’s from Kingsport TN. I had to have him translate a lot of what was said when we visited his family because I had never heard people talk like that 😂🤷♀️ watching this video helped me. I love the bloopers ! Thank you.
I just love ya'll explaining country-talk. ❤
That’s a bit strange and I’ll double dog dare is very popular in upstate New York😊
Thank you for watching!!
Our beautiful Appalachian Mountains have long been a wonderful pathway for many of the finest people to find the place of their heart's calling for home, from the great South, all the way up to the northern most part of the Appalachian trail. And the blood of same unites our spirits, let there be no doubt.
Evening, Miss Tipper, made it on time.
Evening thanks for coming 😊
Welcome.@@CelebratingAppalachia
I love the bloopers, not just because they’re funny, but it also show the finished video took a lot of work trying to get it how you wanted it. Plus it shows how much fun y’all have while making them. I know the editing part, can’t be fun, but very rewarding once it’s finished. Thank y’all for all to provide great content!
lol, the very first one is the only one I wasn’t familiar with. I’m with Matt on the eggs and butter.😂. TeresaSue
😁
Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!! Sounds like home sweet home!!!!! ❤❤❤
I've heard most of these in eastern NC, growing up. Only we didn't say, "Help my time." We said, "Help my life."
A guy I knew in the Ozarks said "Well, slap my jaw!"
That was so much fun. Recognize some a those ☺️💕
Thank you for watching 😊
I just love listening to these, y'alls voices it remind me of the cadences of my youth. I've heard and still use most of these. Things like, "he's as crazy as an outhouse rat" and "he was grinning like a possum eatin' manure" Every time I hear you rehearsing these I remember more...wonderful.
Thank You
I could never believe Corie and Katie were Heathens when they were younger
Both are so adorable ❤😊
So many of these terms migrated to southern Ohio and Indiana! I grew up in East Central Indiana...but, familiar with so many of these!
My husband always says " lf it would of been a snake, it would have bit me " When he was looking for his grasses 😊
So many of these sayins reminds me of my Daddy
I grew up near Pittsburgh and it is amazing how many of these terms are so familiar. My dad was always using the "If it was a snake...." term, which is funny because he grew up on the New York-Canadian border. I guess great sayings are universal.
I always enjoy the bloopers.
Enjoyed watching! We probably use or have heard 95% of these. Thanks for sharing with us. 😇🙌🏻❤️🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching! 😊
Funny stuff. These aren't just Appalachian sayings. My family talks like that in Texas! 🤣
I’m familiar with a lot of these sayings!
We use a lot of those sayings in Kentucky also. Brought back so many memories of some of them as a child. Kids nowadays have no clue if you use those words now. Lol
I think I have as much fun watching the bloopers as I do watching the words that you guys are saying it really makes me laugh you put a big smile on my face 😂😂😂😂😂
Bloopers are so funny! Great video!❤
Alot of those sayings is southern says in Mississippi. But Dad was from around Clinton TN and he said we ens and you ens. Here we say Yall. After living in Canada for 3 or 4 years I actually told guests leaving yall coke back now, eeh. Lol didn't know I said it they hugged me and said I was Canadian now. Lol
😊 Thank you for watching!
I have used at least two thirds of these.
😊
According to Matt’s own stories .. HE was the heathen as a child . lol Love y’all ! 🥰
I live in central Oklahoma…..most of my kin are from the hills of Arkansas….I talk just like y’all…..
Co-workers used to write down things I said….and laugh ! I sure love y’all….
oh my, this was so much fun. i can't believe how many of your sayin's were mine too growing up in Wake County, NC. amazing.
About the third one in, I thought "oh, I so hope they do bloopers from this!" And you did! THANK YOU!😂 Please do more of these. They lifted me up so.❤
I talk like this all the time! 🤣😂
I grew up talking like this in Kentucky. Normal talk in my family 😂
I have heard so many of these and actually said so many😂😂I’m from Georgia
I live in north Texas and have lived here most of my life. The expressions you shared are common here as well.
I'm from Ohio & my family used these words & phrases alot. My grandson used to say to me, "Grandma, say some of those words for me". He got a kick out of them
Just enjoy gaddying about with y'all. Happy New Year 🙋🏻❤️🌠
This is wonderful. 90% of this is common to my ear. Central KY, but eastern KY ancestors, Extreme western KY and Iowa, but somehow the language comes through. That hawk lit on that branch, How come you to do that, , natural voice for me. My wife from central Indiana, not so much, but she acquired an accent in Memphis and here folks were county Indiana.
Just about anywhere you go in Kentucky! Mostly, South Eastern Indiana and,South Western Ohio, but,in South Eastern Indiana was part of the South and, back in the 30s to 40s around the time my mom was a child and growing up! There are some places out in Ohio that are pretty far out and, different regions that are still considered as part of the Appalachian Culture today!
If it'd been a snake it would have bit me. That was a great one. Especially because I always lose my glasses exactly like that!
Y’all crack me up😊😊
Always enjoy your videos.
I appreciate that!
I’m born and raised in Northern California and know these. I believe I heard them all from my grandparents who were not from California
We speak this way in NC.
I’m from Tennessee and I speak Appalachian.
Well I swan bloopers are hilarious!
Back when my daddy was still living, when he was going to bed, he'd say, I think I'll fly up , you know like chickens and turkeys do when they're going to sleep. He'd also tell me that I was meaner than a sore tail cat.
I understood and use those. My cousins in NY always used to love when I came up in the summer as a youngin cause I'm their Southern Belle Cousin 😂
that fish your talking about is a carp we called them a bugle mouth bass 😂😂😂😂😂
