In Ohio they say ink pen- can't wrap my brain around that b/c I don't know any other kind of pen, except an animal pen!
When I lived in Georgia, little kids would say "Tote me Mama", whereas my kids would say "Mommy, pick me up"
I love regional sayings!!
I also have no idea what "gits" are hahaha
If anyone can tell me about ink pen let me know! :D
Maybe it is because they use to use fountain pens. We say couch is WV. Pop for soft drinks, however my hubby say soda-pop. We call the electricy the power. We say shut the light off or cut the light off instead of turning it off.
Most kids here call their mother "mama" until middle school.
I love orgins of things so I'll be watching this thread. My grandma used to say day old biscuits were" harder than a brick bat" Now what does that mean?
