k... after actually reading through all these, I still say I don't talk funny, but then come on, I sound fine to me. lol
HOWEVER.
pen/pin are/our/hour any word sets like those - they sound the same. I drop most of my g's. my "th" says "duh." A lot of words are run-ons. Such as "whatcha" "fix'in" "lemme" "how'ya" and so on. Actually I mumble and my words all run together often. The more excited or nervous or angry or well anything I get the more it happens. People love to make fun of how I talk. Thus my continual denial of my funny talking.

She asked me what kind of bread and I replied, "sourdough"... to which she informed me that they didn't have any... and then asked me what kind of cheese and I told her,"Monterey Jack". She laughed so hard at my order and asked me if I was from CA.... I was like.... um.. yes... does it show?!?!?!?!
Must not have been a very good sandwich line up!

My parents are both from Illinois, but I was raised in California, so I have some mid-west and some Cali jargon still in my everyday speech.

I have for the most part killed off my Valley Girl talk.... but I will once in a while still say "like I'm so sure" in disbelief of something and still say "like" more than I should. But "gag me with a spoon" is forever banished from my speech. :P

I do call soft drinks pop. My husband who is from North Dakota says soda.

My husband is from North Dakota/Minnesota area, so he has lots of charming sayings. I can only think of a couple right now though.
uff da!
Stick a fork in me
Oh for cute
everything is a "hot dish" not a casserole

I'm pretty weird in that I make up words to avoid cussing, so I will say things like "son of a duck and pig" or "what the hooey," or my favorite, "suck wad woobie head." What I find even more interesting is that after a while, the people around me use my weird phrases too. I guess insanity is contagious.

Oh and I say britches for pants and it makes my son so mad that I say it every chance I get. LOL

Honest to God. Coke doesn't mean coke, it just means soda. lol

LOL that's pretty much Texas too, although we never included the Sprite/7-Ups with Coke. DH calls it pop and I find that annoying...soda I don't mind.

That's funny that he says soda cause I get teased for saying. Everyone says pop. I don't say any of his phrases but I have heard them in small towns around here.

We say "britches" for pants, and "buggies" for shopping carts. We have 3 meals a day - breakfast, dinner and supper. Lunch if it's just like a sandwich.

We "tote" things instead of carrying them.

We "mash" buttons instead of pushing them.

"sugar" can mean that sweet white stuff or it can be sweet kisses

When we get angry we get "riled up"

When we have some good gossip to share it's usually started with "I hear tell"

Working at Zion National Park and driving a shuttle bus, I listen to people all day long. One thing I find funny is how people say Zion. It is pronounced Zi-n - forget about the o. People from up north (Salt Lake/Wasatch Front) call it Zi-ns with an "s". Zions is a bank here in Utah not a National Park. People from every where else call it Zi-On really pronouncing the "on".

LOL I love the differences in British English and American English.

Rachel has watched Peppa Pig for so long that she asks for ice lollies...the first time she did that I was like 'whaaaat?' before it dawned on me that she wanted a popsicle.
And then there was the time I was on my HS graduation trip with a few girlfriends and this guy from Yorkshire kept flirting with me at the hotel pool. I enjoyed the attention but nearly choked when he asked if he could come knock me up later. Imagine his mortification when it was explained to him what that means here in the US. LOL

I live in TX but I'm from Michigan. I say "pop" and they LAUGH at me here. But I laugh (in my head, not out loud, of course!) when someone says "Would you like a Coke?" No, it's pop: COKE is a type of pop. So if I want a coke, do I say "Coke Coke"??? lol

My MIL says "somethint" (With a very noticeable "INT" sound instead of an "ING" sound). It drives. Me. NUTS! DH used to say it but I've gotten him to stop, thank goodness; I didn't want our kids to say it. IDK why she says it that way. She's from the east side of MI. I'm from the West side and we do NOT say it that way lol.

I grew up in central Florida....in a rural area so while *I* think I lack an accent when Ive talked to friends in the northeast like Jersey and Massachusetts they swear I do.

When someone asks how far away something is I answer in minutes not miles and something is always just down the road...even when it is miles a way.

I say yall and fixin' to and apparently cannot say oil or tire according to my husband who is from Jersey. But all of thta is normal around here and unless you talk to someone else who does not live in the same area you dont notice the slight differences in speech.

That's a southern thing too. I was so confused the 1st time I ordered a "soda" in Louisiana. lol

I'm bad to add 'a's to everything. Window is a winda, yellow is yella. My BF's name is Jolene, I call her Jolena. I've lost a lot of my accent, but to people in MI they hear it.

Can I just say I love my southern gals!
Everything is coke! Sprite, Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, CocaCola (but, here, ya leave out the ca, so it's really CoCola)
I'm with Nikki on a lot of these.
I still call my parents Mama & Daddy!
I say "fixin'" a lot! Instead of about to.
Y'all & all y'all. & plural would be y'all's or all y'all's! Yes, 2 apostrophes!
We push buggies, not carts.
When we take someone somewhere, we carry them!
We cut out/on the lights.
Everyone is "honey", "sweetie", or "darlin"!
& I'm sure there are plenty more!

I'm from South Africa, so there are number of differences

Here are a few
Shopping Cart - Trolley
Swimsuit - Costume or cossie
Soda - Fizzy Drink
Wallet - Purse
Purse - Handbag
Stroller - Pram

My aunt call any clothing item on top a sweater,
Tshirt= Shortsleeved sweater
Vest= Sleeveless Sweater
a sweater however is called a jersey

Here we say paJAHmas or Jaymees

Some uniquely South African ones: Lekker which means nice or good.
BBQ is a braai
Eish = A more polite way of saying OMG.

I had one of my Airmen tell me that one time when I was still in the service. I was yelling at them for something and he told me, I was really scared, because you looked really mad, but you didn't sound mad because of your accent! LOL!

I haven't heard any of the Southern girls say this yet, probably because you all are way to nice to do this...but my ex-motherinlaw would say mean things and then tack on "bless her heart" at the end, as if to soften what she said. Like, "She is uglier than sin, bless her heart."

Am I right Southern girls? People say that in the South don't they?

My Nicholas watches lots of British cartoons too and will thus use lots if British words. I have to tell him all the time, that's not what we call it in America! Lol

Lol!! This is definitely true!

The first thing I can think of that I say is Walmart sounds like Wall-MOD when I say it. My dad always gets on me about that. I tend to say 'I reckon' a lot when someone asks my opinion and I can't think of an answer...lol!

Ohh that video, Kristin...lol!!!! I have to bookmark that!

OK, I've got one but I'm going to apologize in advance if it offends you: here in TX, the kids say "I gotta go tee tee!" I had NO IDEA what DD meant the first time she said that. But I figured it out since she was jumping in place rotfl. Back in MI, I've only heard parents/kids say "I gotta go potty" or "go peepee." DD's first preschool teacher was from TX, so I assume that's where DD picked it up. I asked her "What is 'tee tee'?" and she just looked at me and said "It's a different kind of pee pee." LOL!
That was the first time I noticed DD was becoming a Texan. She tells me she's a Michigander, but I tell you what: she's picking up the lingo here. The first time she says "I'm fixin' ta" I might just cry. LOL! And if we stay here much longer, DD is gonna laugh at me when I say "pop." She says "soda," which is weird for 2 reasons: 1. that's not what people say here OR what DH and I call it and 2. we don't keep POP in the house and she doesn't ever drink it. So where did she hear the word soda?!

Oh, another difference: some (not all) native Houstonians pronounce the word "bayou" as "bah-yohh." I say "bye-you." The first time I heard someone with a very strong Southern drawl say "bayou," I didn't know what they'd said lol! And I'm sure my nasally Michigander voice drove them nuts. But at least they didn't say "Oh, bless your Northern heart." LOL!

This made me giggle because my SIL says "crowns" for crayons. Even my little nephew makes fun of her and corrects the way she says it.

I say "colors" for crayons too. Always have.

Does anyone have talk-to-text on your phones? It's funny what it picks up if I don't enunciate well. I've had a couple of one syllable words turn into two and I'm not even Southern.

My in-laws call the sink a zink and crayons are crowns. They lived up north in Baltimore and Atlantic City. So I just assumed that is where it came from. My husband is funny cause he has the southern lingo but it often comes with a northern accent. Although his is really slight not nearly as bad as his parents or his oldest brother.
