I have been living in Texas for about four years now and I have traveled a lot to say the least. Yet I can tell you that there is no other place that I would rather call home! Here are some tweets that prove that we have our own lingo:
1. Bet
So you and your friend have come to a compromise and can part ways peacefully.
2.Bofum
Because we are too lazy to say the whole thing ...
3. Fixing
This is weird even for me, and I still can't get used to it.
4. Hoe
We are talking no sexual things here ... get your mind out of the gutter.
5. For real
It's just a way to reassure the person that you are being honest or that your statement is accurate.
6. Y'all
It means "you all" for those who don't speak Texas.
7. Ma'am
Down south we are respectable gentlemen.
8. Swang
This just might be that someone made a mistake, but we like to start trends and so we did here with "swang."
9. Nah, you got it
The Texas way to wash your hands off something.
10. No
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is our predominant motto.
And MY Favorite - Whataburger
We are just crazy about it and we like to have our own name for it, too ... can never go wrong with water and a burger right?
What other things can we claim as Texan? Comment below!
