Shortly after my wife & I married (she, from Arkansas & I, from California), we visited her parents. I found a book at their house about how to speak Southern or something like that; I figured it was a joke & thumbed through it, chuckling as I read the various terms. One that stuck out was "bub", as in a "light bub". Again, I thought it was a joke & let it go... ...until my father-in-law walked into the room, looking for a "bub". Apparently, the book wasn't a joke book; it was a translation guide.
I want to read that. My moms father is from Illinois but my dads family are all from Texas or Appalachia. Once we were working outside making piles of wood we had chopped. My Yank grandpa (who was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home by a couple who escaped the Holocaust) was trying to help. He asked where he laid his gloves down (he couldn’t find them. My brother Ranger told him that he “thought he saw them catywampus to the pack that was sigoggling”. My grandpa stood there looking at him like he was an alien. That night told my mom (jokingly, I think) that not only could she not give her children proper names but we don’t even speak English. My mom objected (jokingly) and my grandpa pointed to my sister Meadow saying “she’s named after a field of grass”, pointing to my brother Canyon said “he’s named after a prehistoric geological land formation”, pointed to Colt and said “this one after a young male horse” and pointed to Ranger saying “this one is named after an armed law enforcement officer” (his full name is Ranger Blade). He then said, why couldn’t you given them normal names like Rueben, Zalman, Elimeloch, Levi, Dovid, Ester, Mordechai or Hymen”. At which point Ranger makes the ASL for a part of a girls anatomy and begins to protest, my dad points to him and said “My belt loops are about to start crackling” (an idle threat, usually). My grandpa then said the entire house was nuts. I mean, he loves us but whenever he visits and leaves he says “back to civilization!”. I do not live in the hills and hollers. I live in East Texas. I just figure to him, it must seem like a different country.
Eh... Not really. I mean my great grandparents talked like that, we made jokes about it. Asking great grandmother if she wanted us to meet her at "Chic-a-fils" but I was none the less born and raised Southern and I say all those names correctly. I also refer to soda generically as soda, but also rarely generically cause I'll just call it by brand. I've never met someone under the age of like 70 that REALLY did this stuff anymore, and I think the existence of search engines is a major factor in that as it sorta forces you to use less local only nomenclature
I never heard of 'Belk' stores, but the instant that sign was on the screen, my head said 'Belks'. I was thinking 'CoCola' before he even showed the picture. We always said 'cokes'. "Go to the store and get some cokes." "What kind?" "Oh, some 7-Up and Dr. Pepper."
My wife actually said she heard no difference between what Matt said and what she says. She was saying, "What is he saying that is wrong? That's what they are called."
I had a student in a night class who would go ballistic because just about everybody in North Alabama calls it Pigg UH ly Wigg UH ly. 6 syllables instead of the correct 4. He was an assistant manager. I always called it The Pig, but never in front of him.
What is hilarious is that i'm watching this, my wife walks by and hears the question and answers exactly like Matt at the same time. It's like we are all in sync.
Gotta spell it like it sounds: the awful wawful Friend of mine used to put 2 bucks in the jukebox just before leaving and punch up every single waffle house song, then sit in the car until the people still inside started looking visibly angry. Good times.
"want a cold drink?" "thank you I'll have co-cola" "What kind>" "Orange" how many times did I hear that from one of the farmers sitting around in my grandfather's old general store.
@@clairewood7416 HUH?? Did you maybe remember that wrong? "Coek" is any kahnda bubbly 'n' fizzy beverage, but Coe-Cola (ya gotta twang that first "e" in the SE) is only Coca-Cola... and best served as ice-coal-Coe-Cola. 😉
I'm from Arizona and my native American family say southern things. Pop, coke and soda are all different meanings. When I first heard wally world I was so confused because I grew up in the city. This is great content and brings back memories.
My friends from the North think that there is actually a Wally World theme park that we are talking about, like the one in the old National Lampoon Family Vacation movie. They are disappointed when we stop at Walmart…
@@adamr9215Walmart is a theme park and the attractions are the stoners picking out snacks, single mothers with unruly children, and the 400 pound woman wearing sweatpants that say "juicy" on the back.
Walking through the parking lot at the state fair, I saw a pickup where the back window was covered in dust. Someone had written "WARSH" on it with their finger. 🤣
Up North Minnesota here and we have em too. There's the one in the closest town that's chock full of boxes, and the one in the next town over that's known as "The Good General" it's clean and no boxes. 😂😂
In high school one of our teachers was super lazy, he would have us grade each other’s papers. My friend Cheri swapped with me, she wrote “warsh” it was at that moment that I realized that my mother, born and raised in Long Island NY, had raised me like a city girl in Dallas, this was at DeSoto HS only 20 miles from Dallas, a suburb lol. But Cheri was an amazing friend and if it hadn’t been for her help I wouldn’t have graduated, I got to my 3rd HS late in my junior year, and found out that DeSoto had higher credit requirements for graduation, she helped me study for my tests and went to night school with me, and got me to the finish line!
@@mrttripz3236 Technically it's "mick" because there's no letter A, but at the same time "mack" is also technically correct. It comes down (mostly) to pronunciation/regional accent but there's the Scottish Mac-name and the Irish Mc-name, both meaning the exact same thing ("Son of") and the latter being an abbreviation of the former.
You are a comedic genius Matt as I’ve said before. This video made my day. Very creative. Very “southern”. Thanks so much for posting. Looking forward to your next video!
Excellent Matt. I've actually crawled over boxes to get from one end of an aisle to the other at DG. DG in Louisiana sells beer, wine, and cigarettes. So convenient being able to buy three food groups at the same time, all at the same store.
Why? I live in Louisiana. Every DG I have ever been in had access to both ends of the aisles from an aisle running cross ways across the store. You might have to climb the boxes to get something hiding on the shelf behind them but you can get to every aisle. But hey if its an issue just drive a mile and a half further down the highway and go to another DG. There is like 10 in every parish.
Matt absolutely needed to break free from “It’s a Southern Thing” given his popularity. I subscribed to his new channel and trash canned Southern Thing. No doubt it was all about the Benjamins and now Matt can make his own way.
@@jackkarns2484 ……I watch both but Matt’s content is hysterical 100% of the time. The Southern Channel is good too.

They re-played existing videos while the creators received no residuals.

Matt was kind in his comments but it was easy to see that there were considerable underlying issues. Just watching Matt create content for his own channel is very instructive.

Man, I relate to every single one. I had it nailed before ya had time to answer. Southern slang is our own form of gibberish but it works. Thanks for the laughs Matt. Have a good weekend!
As a northerner that married a southern woman this wasn't a skit -- Its a freaking documentatry. Besides the whole "Coke is any kind of pop" thing, the other thing we disagreed about was what a "Dollar Store" is. For me, it was Dollar Tree and ONLY Dollar Tree. For her, it was anything that vaguely resembled a Dollar General.
Dollar Stores, Dollar General, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are all within a 5 minute drive from my house in Ft Worth. Didn't Dollar General buy up Dollar Tree? Seriously, I drove up McCart ave one afternoon right past the Dollar General. Three days later it was a Dollar Tree!
I only started watching "It's a Southern Thing' to see you. Glad you're doing good and will always be watching your videos. Such great content and it's all true!! Southern born, and southern bred and one day I'll be southern dead.
I was born in California! Border patrol hears my accent and does a double take after seeing my passport. LOL I just smile and say my Daddy and Momma were ,both, in the military. Smile and move on.
I was just confused the first time I saw one that didn't have two names. I grew up with Belk-Lindsey, and moved to a place where it was Parks Belk. Just "Belk" sounds all kinds of wrong. (Even my phone thinks that's gotta be wrong. It "corrected" my spelling.)
DG - Founded in Kentucky. I am from the hometown of DG in south-central Kentucky. The corporate headquarters moved to Tennessee several years ago but DG got its start in KY.
How is "coke" the wrong answer for the lemon-lime beverage? Southern hospitality: "Do you want a coke?" "Sure." "We have Sprite, Dr. Pepper, and Ne-hi."
Yeah, I do know a few annoying people who want to go to a "Mick Donald's" before swinging into a "Wall Mart" to buy some "Sprite". Just say you want some Micky D's before getting some coke at the store, already!
Lol! I had to rewind and watch part again because I have *never* heard anyone call that department store anything but “Belk’s”. 😂😂😂 I thought he had gotten one right! I’ve never looked at any sogns or seen ads because it’s al word of mouth advertising. “Heeeey! Cute shoes! Where did you get those?” “Girl! I got them on saw at Belk’s! They have the cutest stuff.”
Nobody knows what is in a Dollar General until they get all the boxes unpacked. And since they never get all the boxes un packed....nobody knows what is really inside a Dollar General. Except for Little Debbie's. There is always Little Debbie's in Dollar General.
I thought Dixie Rexall was one word until we left Alabama. It was astonishing to see a drugstore with the name of Rexall - "where's the rest of the name?"
this reminds me of my grandpa, who was from louisiana, writing M-T on all empty boxes and when my whole fuckin family couldn’t figure out and asked him about it- he belly laughed and said “read it again. but slowly.” and i immediately got it but the rest of my family still couldn’t figure it out until i finally hollered “it’s EMMM TEEEYYY” 😂
Point of fact: Dollar General was founded as a family store in 1939 in Scottsville, KY. The name "Dollar General" was introduced in 1955. They are presently headquartered in Goodlettsville, TN.
Grew up in Virginia, went to college in Kentucky, graduate school in Ohio, and lived in the midwest ever since. Still don't know whether it's soda or pop. Took the easy way out and gave up all carbonated beverages.
I grew up in S Florida (so surrounded by northerners-Boca), and my stepdad was from Kentucky. He used to tell a joke: “Why did the Wise Men have ashes on their feet? Because they came from afar.” I didn’t understand this joke until I moved to Kentucky.
*thundercrack* “Ooh is that the lightning round?” “No we just got a severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch.” Edit: Tuscaloosa, two hours later, and now it’s clear skies. The entirety of the Cahaba River dumped on top of us in under 15 minutes, and now the clouds are gone.
This was so accurate. And my mother for some reason cannot say "Holly" if you put the word "Springs" after it. The pronunciation changes to "Holler Springs". To make matters worse, I have a daughter named Holly. Ever since I told my kids about it, they keep waiting on my mom to call Holly, "Holler". LOL! She hasn't yet. And she always uses a "k" instead of a "t" in Walmart.
LOL I was getting just as frustrated at the host that he couldn't even say Walmart, Waffle House, or Piggly Wiggly !!!! And lord, thank you for throwing in Reese's and Reese's Pieces, because I tell people that ALL THE F'N TIME!!!!! 😂😂😂
Subscribe or spend the rest of eternity cleaning the Dollar Gentrals
Done!!!! Whew! That was feaking damn close!

Real close though. Ain't no accountin for accents though: "Re-MO-te Cont-ROLLLLLLLLL"

Yup, that's not the lightning round. That's just actual lightning coming through central Alabama right now as we speak. 😬
I’m disappointed that he said “mosquitoes” and not “skeeters”.
Just don’t get a skeeter on your Peter, it could turn out bad.
Oh my goodness yes! I recognize that as a legit way to say mosquitoes because I've heard it so much.
I call em skeeters.

How is it correctly pronounced?
My family totally said RAYmen my entire childhood. When I went to college, I became really confused when others called it RAWmen.
Could be worse. Ever called them ROMAN noodles? 🍜🇯🇵🇺🇸🤔🤯🤣
@Leland Conner Of course! Roman Noodle 1, 2, 3, 4 and V
As a northerner that married a southern woman this wasn't a skit -- Its a freaking documentatry.
Besides the whole "Coke is any kind of pop" thing, the other thing we disagreed about was what a "Dollar Store" is. For me, it was Dollar Tree and ONLY Dollar Tree. For her, it was anything that vaguely resembled a Dollar General.
Dollar Stores, Dollar General, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are all within a 5 minute drive from my house in Ft Worth. Didn't Dollar General buy up Dollar Tree? Seriously, I drove up McCart ave one afternoon right past the Dollar General. Three days later it was a Dollar Tree!
Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are same family.
@@clairewood7416 Dollar Tree purchased Family Dollar
@@clairewood7416 That explains the Dollar General truck I saw outside Dollar Tree yesterday. I didn't realize one had bought the other.
For me any store with the word Dollar in the name is a Dollar store.
Having moved from Michigan to Arkansas watching this at work is hilarious. Please keep the amazing content coming.
Oh my goodness! I’ve heard all these names all my life! Well done Matt!!! 😂😂😂
If this was an actual game, I would buy it.
It would be fun to play
Me too!
WERE
I only started watching "It's a Southern Thing' to see you. Glad you're doing good and will always be watching your videos. Such great content and it's all true!! Southern born, and southern bred and one day I'll be southern dead.
I was born in California! Border patrol hears my accent and does a double take after seeing my passport. LOL I just smile and say my Daddy and Momma were ,both, in the military. Smile and move on.
I too would like to see the judges ruling on Wally World and Reeses Pieces. Also, Coke is the name of all soft drinks here in Texas.
also Kentucky
Dude said there weren't any judges but, who was hitting that buzzer then? Maybe no judge but, there sure as tootin' was someone being JUDGE-y there!
And West Virginia
I'm from Nocona, TX and if you call a Dr Pepper a coke you'd get your ass kicked
You could do the same thing in Philadelphia. "What kind of sandwich is this?" "A hoagie." "What does literally everyone else call it?" "I don't care."
Ah man Matt this was gold! All those nicknames are completely valid answers.
Hilarious!! I use every one of those nicknames and I’m edumacated. 😂
Your friends at Georgia Tech would say otherwise! LOL
Piggly Wiggly used to run commercials back when I was stationed at Ft Bragg in the 80s. They even had a jingle. "Piiiiigly Wiggly. Piiiiiiigly wiggly"
Yes!
Born and raised in SC. Huge, huge Star Wars fan. Born in 79. When I was a kid, I loved Obie Kenobi.
This was great! I got all of them right! At the end I was like come on co cola! 🤣
In Matt's defense, some of them I didn't know either. For example, I had no idea there was no S at the end of Belk 😂
I had to look it up. I've _always_ said "Belk's"! 😮
Apparently there's not an S at the end of Aldi's either. Still call it Aldi's
wait, there's not?
I was just confused the first time I saw one that didn't have two names. I grew up with Belk-Lindsey, and moved to a place where it was Parks Belk. Just "Belk" sounds all kinds of wrong. (Even my phone thinks that's gotta be wrong. It "corrected" my spelling.)
I’ve always said Belks even tho I’m acutely aware there is no s.
😂 💀 😂😂😂 this is what we all needed today!!
Omg “there might be a T in Dollar General”
I actually learned some interesting facts about these stores I didn't know. Thank you and funny as Yankee trying to live in the south in August!
We love you Matt! Keep it coming. You should so do a sitcom.
I was locked in on that Marvel vs Capcom Arcade machine in the back. I want one sooooooo bad.
Haha Arkansan here. It’s THE Walmart or Wally World, Micky Ds, Dollar Store, Awful Waffle, Belks. So funny and true
I literally watch this video every time it pops up on my home page and it never get old... ima need y'all to make me the full version!!
DG - Founded in Kentucky. I am from the hometown of DG in south-central Kentucky. The corporate headquarters moved to Tennessee several years ago but DG got its start in KY.
Y’all really wanna claim it tho?
I grew up a little ways from Scottsville, in Todd County. I never knew DG was founded in KY much less "close to home"
@@alostrich Not much else to claim!
If you understood every single thing Matt said you may be a legit southerner, therefore hit that subscribe button and enjoy more of our souther love
I'm afraid I knew every reference but I'm one of those sophista-ma-cated Southerners, y'all. (Banjo riff)...Hyuck. 🤓🧑🎓🤣
Hell I’m Canadian and I understood it lol
Yuuup
@@jeffkahl we all know as told by Robin sparkles her self Canadians do not swear and are extremely apologetic. You sir sound like a Missisippian
Oh gosh... I so literally laughed out loud with "Belks". Guilty as charged. 😆
Love your videos Matt.. you’re hilarious and entertaining 🎉😂
Gonna need more of these Matt 😂
Surprised you didn't call the remote a clicker at the end, lol. Amazing skit.
How is "coke" the wrong answer for the lemon-lime beverage? Southern hospitality: "Do you want a coke?" "Sure." "We have Sprite, Dr. Pepper, and Ne-hi."
I lost it when you roasted Vandy.🤣🤣🤣
We all have friends like this. when they have a conversation with you, have to decode what they're trying to say.
Unless you don't have friends like that, but that just means it's you.
There's a Boomhower in every crowd.
@@asdisskagen6487 BOOMHOWER! LOL Thats it! He was the funniest guy on that show!
Yeah, I do know a few annoying people who want to go to a "Mick Donald's" before swinging into a "Wall Mart" to buy some "Sprite".
Just say you want some Micky D's before getting some coke at the store, already!
The "crack house" had me on the floor! 😂😂😂
Thanks for giving the world laughter in this time of distress. You guys are great.
LOL THE CRACKHOUSE I CANT 😂🤣
That got me good lmao
We call it the house of crack!😂
Lol! I had to rewind and watch part again because I have *never* heard anyone call that department store anything but “Belk’s”. 😂😂😂 I thought he had gotten one right! I’ve never looked at any sogns or seen ads because it’s al word of mouth advertising.
“Heeeey! Cute shoes! Where did you get those?”
“Girl! I got them on saw at Belk’s! They have the cutest stuff.”
Another GREAT one from Matt!!!!!!! Love it!
You’re hilarious! So much fun to watch!
🎼Down home, down the streeeeeet, Piggly Wiggly 🎵🎶
"It's like we're not even speaking the same language!" TRUTH.
Nobody knows what is in a Dollar General until they get all the boxes unpacked. And since they never get all the boxes un packed....nobody knows what is really inside a Dollar General.
Except for Little Debbie's. There is always Little Debbie's in Dollar General.
Midwesterner here and I got like half of the product ones wrong as well.
It's cool. I've heard before "The only things differentiating the South from the Midwest are location and climate."
He was preaching when he said “RAYmond Noodles” 😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't realize I had been pronouncing "Reese's" wrong all this time lol
Not gonna stop since I heard no difference.
Aren’t all those carbonated beverages coke!!!!!🤣🤣🤣. Wanna coke? Yeah! What kind?
I thought Dixie Rexall was one word until we left Alabama. It was astonishing to see a drugstore with the name of Rexall - "where's the rest of the name?"
this reminds me of my grandpa, who was from louisiana, writing M-T on all empty boxes and when my whole fuckin family couldn’t figure out and asked him about it- he belly laughed and said “read it again. but slowly.” and i immediately got it but the rest of my family still couldn’t figure it out until i finally hollered “it’s EMMM TEEEYYY” 😂
Never knew till now I’ve been saying Reese’s pieces wrong my whole life
ROFL!!! Hilarious as always. "Reesie" must be an Alabama thing. They're called Reese's cups/pieces in Texas.
I see how you spelled it, but how do you pronounce it?
@@donniestoolthoughts9209 "Reese is"
@@adambaldoni5491that one was really tripping me up because I’m like how tf did he say that one wrong? I was not hearing it.
Love your videos Matt! You never fail to put a smile on my face!
Point of fact: Dollar General was founded as a family store in 1939 in Scottsville, KY. The name "Dollar General" was introduced in 1955.
They are presently headquartered in Goodlettsville, TN.
I done used to shop at the Wal-Marks on Chapnum Highway when I lived in Knoxville.
Definitely didn't think anything was wrong with Reese's 😂
LOL SAME!!!
It's pronounced Ree-siz.
Haha I even went back to listen a second time just to make sure. Sounded fine to this yankee 🤷🏻♀️
Some people call them "Reesie cups" here in MI too. I've always wondered where that nickname came from. Maybe now I know.
Same here.
This is real, "you want a coke?" "yes" "Which flavor?" "Sprite"
Grew up in Virginia, went to college in Kentucky, graduate school in Ohio, and lived in the midwest ever since. Still don't know whether it's soda or pop. Took the easy way out and gave up all carbonated beverages.
I grew up in S Florida (so surrounded by northerners-Boca), and my stepdad was from Kentucky. He used to tell a joke: “Why did the Wise Men have ashes on their feet? Because they came from afar.” I didn’t understand this joke until I moved to Kentucky.
Move that man to the championchips bracket!
Really clever! Laughed out loud 😂
When you brought out the awful waffle bit I actually started dying I dont think Ive ever heard anyone not saying the nickname
We were cracking up because there really is a “Hoggly Woggly” in Tallahassee Florida. It’s a convenience store totally ripping off the Pig.
*thundercrack*
“Ooh is that the lightning round?”
“No we just got a severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch.”
Edit: Tuscaloosa, two hours later, and now it’s clear skies. The entirety of the Cahaba River dumped on top of us in under 15 minutes, and now the clouds are gone.
Same in Stone Mountain, Ga . LOL
Keep ‘‘em coming bud. Great work as always.
This was so accurate. And my mother for some reason cannot say "Holly" if you put the word "Springs" after it. The pronunciation changes to "Holler Springs". To make matters worse, I have a daughter named Holly. Ever since I told my kids about it, they keep waiting on my mom to call Holly, "Holler". LOL! She hasn't yet. And she always uses a "k" instead of a "t" in Walmart.
LOL I was getting just as frustrated at the host that he couldn't even say Walmart, Waffle House, or Piggly Wiggly !!!! And lord, thank you for throwing in Reese's and Reese's Pieces, because I tell people that ALL THE F'N TIME!!!!! 😂😂😂
it’s great when you know what answers he will give
Oh, I had the best time playing along. Thanks for the good time!
I about died when I said The Pig and he didn’t.
I think he meant the Piggy-Wiggy.
Maybe in some parts called Oinkster Central. Lmao 😂
"There is no tea in dollar general"
... that one snuck up on me.
