Welcome, all you mommaroar fans - she is incredibly talented, not? Thanks mommaroar for all of your encouargement (she got me started blogging) and help!
A note about BAMA'isms - I just want to make it clear that I am not poking fun at these dear people. We have experienced a very warm welcome from extremely friendly, helpful and giving people here in Alabama. We have often been overwhelmed by their kindnesses. I can truly learn a lot from their "southern hospitality".
"Make a picture" - many of you were right - it is simply what I know of as "take a picture". Someone asked me to "make their picture" when we first arrived and it took me a second to figure out what they were asking me!
Ok - here are a couple more that are probably more obvious. What is a "buggy"? What is a "fly-flapper"?
As mommaroar suggested, I will have to put some from the west and east coast, as well ;)

A buggy is a shopping cart? I've heard that before in blogland. And a fly swater?
ReplyDeleteI love hearing the different phrases used around the US - since I've never even moved out of the county I was born in!
I'm so glad some of my friends stopped by - one person stopped that I don't know - cool!
Have a great weekend! We got some more snow/sleet today - schools are all closed. Its suppposed to keep up til tomorrow morning - sigh...waiting for spring...sigh
Just welcoming you to the blog world! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteShopping cart and fly swat??
ReplyDeleteDefinitely didn't think you were making light of the people down South! :) We Southerners do have our way with words but so do the Northerners. Y'all just don't realize it! I am one who calls all things coke too! Although if you offered me a pop or soda - I would understand what you meant! :) haha
