After a while I just walked away thinking he was just a whiner about how rough work is.

If a cow is 6 months or so along, you can bump the calf with you fist behind the ribs on the left side, Hard grass is, as I understand it a desirable prairie grass.

I dated a Cajun a long time ago from Red River parish. She had a typical southern country accent. Her mom came up here and it was time to meet her. She warned me that I wouldn't understand most of what he mom said. I figured it was her just trying to be more interesting.

Welp .....she was right. I only understood about half. And the half I did understand was in the wrong order.

Same here... the Walmart’s

Also my sister in-law does it all the time, says “wooder” when she means water.

My wife used to always ask me for a “pin”... took some questions and I found she wanted a pen...

Also, everything is a coke, no matter the brand.

Tea only comes one way, no need to say the word sweet....

They are originally from Chesapeake Virginia.

People I know from Ohio say they are going to sweep or use the sweeper, we say vacuum.

Canadians... all snowmobiles are ski-doo’s no matter the brand.

“The bush” instead of woods or forest.

When I was a kid (late 60's - early 70's) all motor cycles, particularly dirt bikes, were "Honda's" no matter the brand.

Interesting, never heard of hard grass. Grass cattle are light weight calves going to grass to gain weight before going on to a feedlot. I just typed another phrase “ going to grass” means getting turned out on pasture for a season. “Coming off grass” is the opposite or when you gather cattle off pasture late in the fall and move them to winter pasture. We gather cattle instead of rounding them up.
A cow that’s getting some age but still has all her teeth is, short and solid.

I've heard the Arkansas river pronounced R- Kansas river when the correct way to pronounce it is R-Can-Saw river.

people here in Kansas call your state r Kansas too. we have a town named Arkansas City also . I bet you can guess how they say that too. It drives me bonkers. Nobody else anywhere in the country pronounces it that way. So I just call it Ark City. Its a common slang for it and everybody knows what Im taking about.

people in shakey get upset if you don't call rodeo drive roe day oe
