I grew up in TN, and visited my DGM in the NC mountains quiet often. Tomatoes were maters, Tobacco was baccer. We drank sody pop, and sat on the couch. A paper bag was a sack. Poke was a salad, or a paper bag. Pot likker was the liquid in the bottom of the pot after you cooked your greens. Likkered up meant you were drunk. Wrenched means rinse. Over yonder could mean across the yard or 5 miles down the road. Gully washer is a heavy downpour. There are many more, I just can't "member" them.

I went to California to visit my brother and we went to broadwalk. I stop and asked for a coke. They look at me so funny. My brother told me they think you want to buy drugs. I told them that I was from Georgia and we call Coca~Cola- "Coke" look on back of the bottle it says Coke. :oops: I am not sure if they believe me or not.

Probably the one that confuses people is when I say, "We are working cattle". Usually that means we are on horseback either rounding them up for shipping or moving them to another pasture. (We are actually rounding them up today & tomorrow and shipping them Thursday & Friday, so it will be a busy week!)
Everyday terms: couch, recliner, pop, pouring rain or just spitting, lunch, supper.

I had a friend, not gonna say how long ago, LOL, but she was from the south and I'll never forget the time we were in a store and she asked for a "poke". Thats what a "bag, or sack" was to her. Around here you'd get something a little different if you asked for a Poke.
