This thread is just what I needed! Something fun and enjoyable to reflect upon! A sort of walk down Memory Lane topic.
I haven't been able to find out what happened to my original entry, but nevertheless, here it is again for the second time. Couch - never sofa or Davenport Fridge - not refrigerator Pop for soda Skiff or dusting of snow Chocolate bar - never candy bar Washing or laundry, and when I hang it on the line, clothesline, never "washline" (like my mom calls it) Supper - last meal of the day Washing machine - seldom say "washer" Coffee - not java, mud, or a cuppa-a Spanking, spankin', or a paddling - not "lickin" like my mom used to say, and boy did we used to get some bad ones Breckie - rather then breakfast Cigarettes - not smokes When I put out a cigarette, I butt it, not stub it I take a drag from my cigarette Panties or underpants - very seldom "underwear" Rubber sheets (baby's crib) - not "waterproof" or "plastic sheets" as my SIL calls them It was always cloth diapers in our home, and over top of the diapers went "rubber pants", not plastic pants Diaper pins or safety pins - I say either/or, even though each are different Diaper pail - not diaper bucket Tea-Towel - not dish-towel Dish-cloth - not dish-rag Wipers - are household dusting/cleaning cloths When it's raining hard out, I usually say pouring TV - for television Pasta - for all types other than spaghetti, which I'm always specific about In the Springtime, we "turn" the garden - not till it When my back aches after gardening, I often say, oh, my poor back is killing me Starving - for when I'm hungry, though my mom used to tell us kids, none of you are starving. LOL! Supermarket or shopping - not grocery shopping. Sometimes I'll say, I'm going to get groceries Pants or slacks - never jeans (even though I don't wear jeans) Soother - never pacifier. My kids always had soothers Ginchor gaunch - for underpants when my sons were little My mom says diapers, when she's referring to cloth diapers, and Pampers, for disposables (doesn't matter what brand) Phone for telephone When I need to go the bathroom, I say "bathroom", not washroom My husband takes a dip or swim, not a bath. LOL! When my kids were babies and needed changing, I'd often say, let's change your pants, not diapers Training pants - for those thick padded toilet training panties we used to use when training our kids to go potty. My mom calls them soakers |
gravel road for me too. Soda water for Cokes, etc. Scared as all get out. Sofa or couch. Dinner is the evening meal. Lunch is about Noon. an increase in my salary would be a raise ,not a rise!

I looked up "gits". Seems to be undesirable people or things. That would make me think it was pouring.
I was born in Missouri but raised in the southwest too. Dad was in the service so I was happily exposed to many people. The only words so far that I wasn't familiar with in everyday usage are a few from the northeast. Been called a hillbilly many times. |

Now, when I worked in NM last year (Roswell) the apt't there had "swamp coolers" instead of A/C... believe me, they were no competition for the A/C back home here in Alabamee...

Just remembered another that I seldom here anymore, toilet training. Unless I'm talking with an older mother like myself, younger moms tend to say "potty training".

Odd, isn't it? They can drop the F bomb all over the place, but they don't want to say toilet.

We have a couch and drink soda now but drank pop in Michigan. When we lived in Kentucky everything was Coke, and Sprite was white coke-Big Red was always Big Red though. My NC family "carry everyone, they don't take them" and they go to the picture show not the movies. I live on the Gulf in Florida so we hear it all because everyone is from everywhere, only the kids are native Floridians!
