Have any of you guys noticed how we Southeners like to take a one syllable word and make two syllables out of it? I was noticing this fact this very week. I had one of my not-so-regular patients call up because he had a tooth bothering him. He came in and sure enough it was one of his front teeth that I had been TELLING him was going to start bothering him if he didn't get it fixed. Now, I told him it was going to require a root canal and a crown for a grand total of about $1,400 or he could have his front tooth pulled and start calling himself 'Bubba'. If he had gone on and gotten it fixed when I had told him, it would have set him back a little over $100.

His reaction? One word.. two syllables.. Dey-um!!!

When I first moved to Texas, someone lent me her copy of How to Speak Southern. She didn't think it was funny, because she spoke exactly as in the book! :lol: A couple that missed ex70's list:

NOME: a child's response to his mother. "Jew break the winner with thishere baseball?" "Nome."

WRETCHED: man's name. "Wretched Burton is a fan actor."

And don't forget how in the South they're always "fixin" to do something. Wonder how they get anything done if they're always "fixin" to do it.
