Oct 10, 2005 by blueheaven I loved the list. As a tried and true "Buckeye" there are a few other things I have noticed. Those of us from south of I-70 are sometimes referred to as hillbillies (but that is ok) Hi to all you other southerners! I lived 125 miles east of Cincy on old US 52. I have lived for the last 2 years in Baltimore, Md It sure isn't home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oct 11, 2005 by chadash Hoopies may be more of a WV term, I know my grandpa was one....at least that was what they called him.... anyone in Ohiya red up their house when company comes, or was that just my family? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oct 11, 2005 by chadash Oh yeah, and we had a sweeper, not a vaccuum.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oct 11, 2005 by blueheaven Yes, I heard "red up the house" LOLOL My family didn't use that term though. As for the vacuum thing. My husband STILL laughs when he hears me say "I'm going to sweep the carpet" Havta forgive him, he can't help he was raised in "Balmer" (Baltimore). I'm sure my twang and some of my euphenisms have been a subject of discussion among my peers in the MICU here. LOL:rotfl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oct 11, 2005 by chadash yeah that twang...noone can ever place me....we lived in Illinois, and they thought I was from canada, and down south they just think I talk funny... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oct 13, 2005 by sproutingflower Ok I have couple to add... When people say "SIMULAR" when they are meaning "SIMILAR" When People say "WAL-MARTS or J.C. PENNIES" Instead of "WAL-MART/ JC PENNY" As far as POP goes.. I live in TN I know how that one goes.. I have been to a Resturant before, Im pretty sure it was Golden Carral in Nashville and I was asked what kind of Coke I would like. There's also "Krogers" instead of Kroger.
