22 Maps That Show How Americans Speak English Totally Differently From Each Other

Dude I live in Alabama and I have NEVER heard a sunshower referred to as the devil is beating his wife LOL That must be some serious backwoods stuff

 

Heeheehee :D

 

Hey, Wisconsin gets it right for calling it a bubbler !!! It's the rest of the country that doesn't know what you are talking about !!!

By the way Hooker, if you play cards, do you know what Sheepshead is ? and NO, it is not a fish...I'm sure 130woodman and BJE know what I'm talking about.

 

No, that's only SE Wisco. SE Wisco sucks. Up here in the good part of Wisco we call it a Drinking Fountain or some may call it a Water Fountain. Call it a Bubbler here and everyone knows you're from "the south." And that you suck.

 

You suck and we all don't call them bubblers

 

When I said "The South" I was referring to Southern Wisconsin. :D

 

Sheepshead? Did I hear something about Sheepshead? The greatest card game ever invented.

 

Sheepshead is a fish. I don't care what kind of gay stuff all you Wisconsites do or what y'all call it.

 

Dude, Southern Wisconsinites.

 

Better hope your wife doesn't see this.


Why don't you move back to Canada?

 

Why don't you go stare at the radar and cry some more.

 

I will. And you are going to listen to my *****ing and you are going to like it.


BTW, how are your pumkins doing?

 

No I won't.

Good. Mostly all germinated, just need some sunshine and for it to warm up. about 55,000 in the ground with another 10,000 to go, but they are only 85 day so no rush until next week.

 

Language nerds!

 

When prepared properly, I call them delicious...when they aren't they're mudbugs.

Bubbler is a brand for the thing...like Kleenex
. Hokey, now perhaps...and guess where they did their primary business.

 

Crawfish or Crawdad around here. The only time I ever heard crayfish was in biology class. We eat them all spring, and then freeze any left over for etouffee as a treat later on in the year.

Drive through liquor stores are mostly referred to as a "Beer Barn" The good ones, will throw in ice for your cooler if you buy at least a case of beer. They'll load it up and ice it down, you don't even have to get out of the truck.

Traffic circles are the single dumbest thing to come about since the cloverleaf exit. There's only a few in the area, and all they do is cause confusion, and make a lot of folks really nuts.

Pecan is the one that really gets me. You yanks love to call it a "pee can" That makes me want to throw kittens into a wood chipper. It is pronounced "puh-cahn" It's our state tree, and they're everywhere around here.

Bowie is pronounced as "boo-wee". Try it any other way, and someone will correct you in a hurry. That family is held in high regard throughout Texas.

For the folks that have a hard time with y'all, it is no worse than those who love the phrase "you'se guys". I always chuckled when my old boss would say that.

 

Here's one I never under stood. Sink. It's a simple word, but apparently there are many people who like to pronounce it Zinc. WTF are they talking about. I used to work at a home improvement store and would have people walk in and ask "where are your zincs."
