In look'n up things for the last post I found this helpful info;
Pronunciation
Now, if you're gonna say things Texans say, you've got to be sure to get the pronunciation right.
Here are a few tips:
In Texas, the "g" in the suffix "ing" is silent. Thus, "fixing to" becomes "fixin' to."
chester drawers: that piece of furniture you put your socks in.
nuther thing: another thing
hairyew: a greeting used when one wants to discern the physical and emotional wellbeing of
his/her companion.
ah'mo: I am going to. E.g.: "Ah'mo get back to work."
sure'nuff: (one word). Used as a superfluous question in place of "Really?" or "Is that right?"
Also used as an adverb in sentences.
rench: the process of laving with water, possibly to remove soap or shampoo.
You can also "rench out" socks, if you've a mind to.
warsh: the process one engages in before renching.  |
