Sweet milk and buttermilk. Buttermilk is required for cornbread both in the batter and later to crumble your cornbread into, otherwise known as cornbread and clabber or a country milkshake. Yes, light bread is that sliced stuff in the baggie.

Tea is always served cold over ice and has sugar, lots of it. In modern times we have to specify sweet tea because of all the weirdos out there.

I've actually seen a map that reportedly shows where the "sweet tea" line is, by county. Warrior, I drink ice tea almost every night and I do sweeten it but I'm sure you would find it horrid. Tastes sweet to me but its pretty dark. I tell the Chinese guys at work that I drink powdered instant "tea" and they just shake, cringe, and walk away...

Skillets are made of cast iron. Pans aren't. You use them on a stove which has eyes.

Sunperch and grinners (I call them grinnel) are types of fish. A grinner is a possum also.

Just at night? A gallon a day here. I drink two beverages most days, strong black coffee from wake up til lunch then sweet until lights out.
And sweet tea is prepared as follows boil one quart water place one Red Diamond (Donovan Coffee Company, Birmingham, AL) family size tea bag in water and let steep for twenty minutes. In a gallon size pitcher pour two cups sugar then pour in steeped tea and stir. Top off with cold water and pop in the fridge the cool.
Been drinking red diamond for fifty years this year.

Blinky is milk that about ready to turn the corner.

Blue John is the skim that left after running thru the cream separator.

Grinner is a possum, grinnel is a fish.

A slab caught while fishing is a crop-e, spelled crappie and pronounced crappy elsewhere. As well as white perch, speckled bass and sacalait.

Waitresses sometimes give me a strange look when I ask for dippy eggs at out-of-state diners. I don't even bother asking for scrapple.


Eh...wot?

Only in certain parts of the south do folks know that a gopher is a turtle and a gopher is a sallymander. We also have saddlebacks and velvettails and both can kill you.

bubbler is a water fountain, never heard the term water fountain till I was in my 20's or so.

soda is any carbonated drink, there is no "pop" around here. Orange soda, grape soda, coke, pepsi, Mt. Dew, and Dr. Pepper are all soda.

Lots of places serve "steak sandwiches", basically a cut of beef that is sometimes ground or pounded thin and fried. Basically a slightly better hamburger.
I have to always ask if its an actual cut of meat or is it ground or pulverized. I like a good steak sandwich (usually tenderloin) but not what most around here call a "steak sandwich".

Snowmobiles or sleds, snow machines are what they use to make snow at the ski hills.

Oscar Mayer makes Hot Dogs, Weiners are a more of a sausage than a hot dog. Larger like a Italian sausage or Brat, coarse ground and with a tough outer casing that snaps as you bite thru them. Think of a mini ring baloney and your close.

Called a hamburger a hamburg. West Virginia relatives did that to me, I thought they forgot what they were saying. Sleds are what kids ride down the hill in.

Crik if it has an old car in it, creek if it is pure and pristine.
