I have to start off by saying that I write this blog as much to vent as to get comments from you guys. So you'll probably understand that I've been lonely going back out to my blog and seeing that I have "0" comments. I know some of you are still reading, but now you have to respond. This is an interactive blog!!!
So a lot of my students are comfortable enough with me now to start making fun of my accent...you know the one; the one I thought I didn't have! So I'd thought I'd take advantage of them making fun of me. Not so much of my accent cuz you can't hear it as you read this blog, but moreso about things that i say, or i've heard other southerner say. So, how southern am I? I'll give you guys a "few" southern sayings and let you attempt to translate. Warning: you may have to say some of these aloud to make some sense of them.
1. Kno um tom bout?

3a. icebox
3b. fall papah

Alright, I think that's it. I live nice even numbers, so I couldn't stop at 31...and yes i'm aware that 35 is not an "even" number, but you know what I mean. After you guys make attempts to translate these words/phrases, I'll provide the actual translations with sentences, so you can see how we use 'em down souf!! :0

Dark Knight...very good for a non-southerner. Out of 35, you got the following correct: 1,2,3,5,6 (close enough), 9,10,11,15,19, and 21. If this were a class you'd only get 31%,but I'll curve it for you ;)
i'm trying to follow up my man dark knight,
4) still don't know
8) here, hair,
16) getting ready to...
17) getting ready to...again!
18) like my man darknight, i say it is to dance, but it
could also mean to have 'relations', or to 'handle
business'
20) right here
22) cheering (but that seems to easy)
24) hungery
29) ya'll done
30) no
31) aching
32) thirty, forty, fifty, fifteen
33) dinner
let me know how i did.
Oh P, I have to say I'm disappointed...how long were you a southerner? Are you saying these aloud? You could have gotten more than that.I can't believe you didn't corect #7! Think of Wunderlich and you'll get that one. There's actually 2 #3's...we'll call the 2nd 3B so it won't go unnoticed. Ok, so I'll stop scolding. Correct answers: 8(great job!), 16,17,18 (that's not what i am thinking, but it does have those meanings as well, but there's one more that's really country...think Louisiana), 20,24,29 (almost...you have to put it in a sentence so i can make sure you're right), and 32. Dare to give it another shot???
I must be missing something. I don't understand 1-35, and 31 is an odd number.
You use the phrase "you guys" an awful lot, especially for a southern girl. Maybe you've just been watching a lot of MTV.
