Sayings I've heard this week

From my Mother-in-law in Florida, "Gooood Lawwrd, tell her to hurray up and have that baby awwready. Mercy me!"

From my cousin in Texas, "Wellll I'll beee, Bless her sweet hearrrt."

From my friend here in South Bend, "Gurl, you so stupid. What'cha doin?" (meaning what I did was really funny and she's cracking up)

From my friend in Louisiana, "Well, that oughta learn ya" (meaning you should learn a lesson from what you just did)

From me, and everyone picks on me for it, "That's naasstyyyy!" , "MmmHmmm." and "Now you know you need some Jesus!" I'm a Texas gurl.

From my husband, who is from Indiana, "We need to sweep this floor." (meaning with a vacuum cleaner) This has caused continual confusion in our home.

One word I always listen for people to say is crayons. Down south we say cray-ons like its spelled. Up here I usually hear people pronounce it like creyins. When I first heard this, I wasn't even sure what people were saying. Soda also seems to be a foreign word up here. I tried to add some to my Papa John's order once and the employee kept telling me about the different sauces they had. He didn't understand what I was saying until I said "what kinds of pop do you have"
