Oh boy.....I could go on all day about some of the expressions we use here in the South.

I reckon you've heard most of them, though.

I'm fixin to go cook supper.

He lives a fer piece up the road (he lives far away).

How-dooooooo! (Hello)

I'll swanee (I swear)

He's got people there. (He has relatives that live there).

I'm so tired I'm 'bout to fall out. (So tired I'm about to drop).

It's pert 'near supper time. (It's close to supper time).

Let me put my earbobs on and I'll be ready. (Let me put on my earrings).

She sure was tore up about that. (She was upset/emotional).

I'm plumb tuckered (I'm tired).
