pee-can pie. monna git me sum.
Was recently corrected for saying akerns, he told me it is acorns. I have lived my entire life in the south, and my professor correcting me is from New Jersey. As long as I live I will refer to them as akerns, I know what a white oak akerns means to a deer not sure they like acorns lol.

I say minnows.
I do catch and eat crappie, though. Never eaten a croppie. And I hunt deer, not deers.
It don't matter how you say it, bud, they know what you're talking about. And both of my parents, and their parents, are all from south Georgia. I was born and raised here too. Some of us simply talk a little more country than others, that's all. And there's nothing wrong with that. By the way, nothing hotter than a southern gal with a strong, country accent!

Waspers.
I will write in modern English, but I refuse to speak it.
Actually, most of our southern Appalachian accent and sayings are pure Elizabethan English from three or four hundred years ago. We were isolated here in the hollers for so long that the language changed around us, while we just kept talking the same way.

Around here we got two kinds of specks. Speckled perch and in saltwater, speckled trout. 90 miles to the east and those speckled perch turn into white perch.
