My mom was from Kentucky, so this is pretty accurate. She passed a month ago, so it was nice hearing these again.
Sorry to hear about your Mom. I know that no amount of words can take that pain away, but just know some random Kentuckian is sending good vibes your way
@@hazardkentuckyfishing9897 Thank you very much
I’m so sorry. Love from upstate ny
Fun fact: "Dirty Bird" is also Newfoundland slang for KFC.
My family in Alberta calls it Dirty Bird too
Haven't had that crap since they found a rat in the vat, fifty years back.
my dad here it Australia too
It's Canadian for KFC, not just Newfie :)
“And what about a hot brown”
“Now this one is definitely on urban dictionary”
Shudders I’m sure it is FL I’m sure it is!🤣
A hot brown should be an open faced turkey, bacon, tomato sandwich with moray. Not just any old sandwich
@@heatherlowry754 as a man from Kentucky, I can confirm this.
I nearly cried laughing when " DC" not again when louie and FL started their back and forth yapping!😆
Yeah, it was the Labyrinth, Magic Dance reference, I think. The had a reference to it in a different episode. Apparently either Ben or Florida an Loui love David Bowie
I’m a city girl for the most part, but most of my family is Southern. This entire sketch speaks directly to my heart.❤️
MD needs to contest the use of “hodgepodge lodge”. it was a kids show on PBS produced in MD in the 70s.
My dad remembers it!
@@fairycat23 i totally dated myself with that comment 😆
@@nostalgiaprincess yeah, no comment. First thing I thought. I feel old.
@@mattfoltz7752 ben is the same age as my son, so i guess i should feel old 😕🤷🏻♀️
Im a KY native, born and raised, still livin here. I've heard probably all of them, but I don't use em all on a regular basis. I live in the city and got family from out in Harlan, and grew up out there a lot, so I get around different parts of the state a lot. I've heard weirder KY slang/colloquialisms from here though. I'd be happy to elaborate if y'all want. Sorry if I don't quite make sense, I'm trying.
Let’s just throw a “Bless your heart” here and there…..
As a native Kentuckian, pretty much right on. Really needed to add FIFO and The Ohio Navy, though.
So satisfying to hear from my home state
Burgoo is about the best stew in the world!!! Kentucky's pretty awesome
Oh, so Kentucky gets to put elbow macaroni in his chili and it’s fine but we put chili on spaghetti and we’re freaks of nature?
Yes
Yes.
The extra irony being that all the Kentuckians I've known eat their chili on spaghetti. Maybe it started as a Cincinnati thing but it spread down at least as far as Lexington.
@@one_smol_duck I've actually eaten it both ways. My grandparents are from Kentucky my mom is from Ohio and my dad from West Virginia
@@one_smol_duck It's an abomination, and I don't like it. XD
I'm surprised there wasn't a reference on how to properly say Louisville in Kentucky. Say it wrong in front of a Kentuckian and they will 100% of the time stop what they're doing and correct you.
Not to mention how the proper pronunciation changes a bit depending on what part of Louisville you're in
Ya got Loo-eh-ville, luh-ville, loo-ville, loo-ee-ville, lo-ville. All kinds of pronounciations.
If you live anywhere else than Louisville and super in to sports, it’s Loserville.
Same goes for Rowan County. No, it's not said like the tree, yes it should be. I lived there for a LONG time. It still annoys me.
I hate living in this state....and even I do this...
Bless your heart for mentioning Burgoo. It really is the best 💜💜💜
So glad I found this guy
I lived off US 68. yard sale is accurate lol.
Born and raised in northeastern Kentucky!
Hot Browns are delicious!
Chili does not have macaroni in it (unless you're from Ohio). We make a dish called 'goulash' with hamburger, tomatoes and elbow macaroni. No other chili seasonings are in it.
Burgoo: it depends on WHO makes it and WHAT'S in it.
Ugly as homemade sin and month of Sundays are common phrases in eastern Kentucky.
Sweet tea is a given and ubiquitous through the south. We'll kick your hide back up north for ordering unsweetened tea.
A Brown Betty is a fruit dish similar to a crisp or a cobbler.
My mom used to make cream (pull) candy when we had people over to play bridge! I'd help pull it. It's very tricky to make homemade. You have to have very low humidity in the air or it will turn to sugar. You have to have at least two people to keep pulling the candy constantly without stopping. But if you do it right it goes from chewy to creamy in just about an hour and all phases of it are delicious! You can find some versions in Ruth Hunt candy store, Old Kentucky Chocolates, and Rebecca Ruth candy stores. I don't like them because they never put enough salt in the candy.
BTW, Jim Beam is awful. Buffalo Trace is better. It is the oldest continuously producing distillery. It was even allowed to produce bourbon during Prohibition!
As a Kentuckian I can say that this is pretty accurate
What part of KY?! This is not accurate where I’m from😭😭😭
Sameeeee
He forgot AL81
I’m from Louisville and assure you that I’ve never heard these terms
@@bloodysquallofficial3724 fr like i lived close to louisville and i never heard any of these lmao
"...second most important Churchill in Kentucky"
FACTS
I'm overjoyed that Ruth Hunt got a little feature! Absolute best chocolate and candy in Kentucky
He should try Table Linguistics with Pennsylvania. We got some good ones especially around Pittsburgh.
As a Kentucky man I can confirm, most of these were just wrong. None of those are ever used and I've been all over the state.
We just call KFC KFC, you'll hear soda, pop, or soda pop depending on the age of the people saying it, candy is just candy, not specifically cream candy, and we sometimes call mountains hills.
Any questions?
You aren't a Kentuckian if that's the case, I've been all over the state too and most of these are absolutely said, especially buggy for shopping cart, have only ever heard buggy and never heard shopping cart once in my life from a Kentuckian. You're a transplant aren't you?
Love it so much the series
Sweet tea is the only tea.
As a Kentuckian this makes me proud
The shopping cart was invented in Oklahoma. We call it a cart. Unlike most of the South.
I’ve lived in Kentucky for 5 years. I haven’t heard like 99% of this. I think I need to get out more
Most of these are very common in Kentucky, especially buggy, have never heard anyone say anything else than that.
Love it
Love these so much!!
You don’t need to be from Kentucky to know the only good tea is sweet tea.
Exactly, most people from the south know this
Im from Kentucky and I lowkey thought everyone calls it a buggy...
There should be no noodles anywhere near chili!
Try skyline and if you don't like it rephrase this comment to I don't like skyline.
Ok i like how NY is dressed up in Bills gear, this pleases me
That's because he doesn't want to admit he has the Giants.
It depends on WHICH part of Kentucky you're in, too.
I'm in West KY, and we've got a few phrases that are pretty nice.
"Here come the Bluehairs", means "People that come in to see the Quilt Show" (that now happens Bi-annually.....ugh....)
"Head on down to Lowertown", means Lowertown of Paducah, near the Art District.
"Barbecue on the River" is an event that happens in October, where people from the Tri-State area come to serve up a huge mess of Barbecue for Charity, and after that is the Zombie Walk, which i LOVE doing.
If you ever need West KY words or Phrases, i'd be glad to tell ya. :D
fact checking from a Kentuckian (but also from Louisville which is really a whole different culture so it may be more accurate to other areas of the state)
month full of Sundays: don't think I've heard that one before
don't get your bloomers in a wad: I know don't get your panties in a twist more
dirty bird: I've heard it, but it isn't that common
Brown Betty: not thaaaat common but like, I know it's a dessert
hot brown: YES. I don't particularly like them but absolutely correct
burgoo: once more, I know it but don't like it
about as ugly as homemade sin: literally never heard of this and don't know what it means
bless your heart: everyone's favorite passive aggressive phrase!
buggy: probably like, 40% buggy 60% shopping cart is what I hear it called
Hamburg: I think I've heard of it but like, my mind filled in "er"
yard sale: yes, but we also use it to refer to regular yard sales too!!
candy: again, can be used to refer to cream candy or any other candy
tea: not to be dramatic but you will be banned from the state if you drink unsweetened tea
waterfall: haven't heard that
chili noodles: my family used spaghetti noodles, not elbows!
Churchill: yeah it took my until middle school to learn that Winston Churchill existed and that Churchill Downs wasn't the only one
Hmmmm I was just wondering if my Grandpa picked up chili on spaghetti in Louisville or Lexington. Seems like it could have been either. I grew up in Cincinnati so I never realized that wasn't how everyone ate chili lol -- my dad grew up in Kentucky but his parents ate it on spaghetti so he insists it's normal and the rest of the country's got it wrong.
As someone from rural Kentucky, are we actually sure you count as a Kentuckian? Louisville is basically a different state.
Month of Sundays is something I'd swear is more of a general southern thing than KY-specific, but I definitely heard it plenty.
Hamburg is Hamburg Pavilion off I-75 on the east end of Lexington. It's a giant mall surrounded by other strip malls and big box stores.
Maybe it's me being on the north end of the state, but Yard Sale referencing 68 instead of 127 nearly broke my brain.
All KY chili uses pasta. The difference is which side of the state you're on- spaghetti was a thing borrowed from Cincinnati and is more common in the Golden Triangle, but I've seen elbows used for it plenty.
Otherwise, I agree with your take.
i call em carts everyone else in my town says buggy and it drives me crazy
You're a liar. Its 100% buggy, I've lived in Kentucky my entire life, in Lexington and in the rural areas, and have never heard ANYONE refer to it as a shopping cart. That's simply not a word we use here.
I think I'm from the wrong part of Kentucky? I grew up on the south end of Louisville, some of these sound familiar but a lot of them do not, and I feel like my Southeastern Kentucky Mammaw must have let me down there. Maybe it's all the Midwestern influence up here? But you don't hear a lot of this in NKY, either.
The accent itself is p spot on tho 😂
I'm from Louisville, too, and I didn't get a ton of the references either. I think Louisville just counts as it's own state when it comes to culture and slang 😂
Either that or it's more a part of Indiana than Kentucky!
I'm from western KY and understood all of it. lol
@@abbywright5217 I think you're right about that. The Ohio River folks in general are their own group.
@@weatherweeniehutjrs1469 he’s clearly been influenced by us Cincinnati folks and our superior chili
@@samreid6010 I've never had cinci chili with elbow noodles haha, also gold star gang. I'm in Iowa but we bring home seasoning when we visit my in-laws in Newport.
Haha thank you 🙏
I'd eat at the Hodgepodge Lodge.
Yea buddy, he got 'em all right. Lol. Blessings to all 💙
Holy crap, in super early. Why do I only get notifications on time for your videos?
I'm glad I'm in West Virginy!
That tea thing applies for Tennessee as well
It's a thing here in Louisville to get your UK fan friends to drink Big Red. They either drink Barq's red cream soda or Faygo Red Pop
I lived in Kentucky for a while and we only had sweet tea but my grandparents from new York only drink unsweetened tea 🤣
Weirdly enough my family (from Eastern WA) has always called Red Robin the dirty bird
Elbow noodle chilli broke my brain🤯🤯🤯
Kentucky teen here... this made me very happy (:
You should do south carolina
I am fully for Hodgepodge Lodge, what’re you talking about. It’s a gorgeous idea
i think my parents made burgoo a couple times... typically when the fridge broke.
This one sounds like Southern IL 👌🏽Might as well have added soil in there to.
You ever need help with Tennessee just let me know. I would love to contribute for accuracy sake. Love these videos!
Awww... Almost had the Labyrinth reference in there.
.... My hometown has a restaurant... Called hodgepodge lodge...
Here I’ll add some more.
UK is the college, not just the country.
Its not loo-ee ville or Lewis ville, it’s Louisville
On that note, if your in France it’s Versailles. But if your in Ky it’s said Ver-sales
A derby party is a party to celebrate the Kentucky derby, really big horse race.
There are only two real big cities Lexington and Louisville, nobody actually lives in the capital Frankfort. You’re either from one of those places, or you tell people what county your from before or when you say the town.
And if you’re from Louisville, then you come from a verrrrrrry different Kentucky than everybody else who lives in the state.
Cardinals and wildcats are college sports teams, and they hate each other. Cardinals are also the state bird, even tho Ky is on of 7 states to have it as a state bird.
Lexington native here to say, Go Cats.
Ben in Somerset Kentucky is the International Paranormal Museum, so there's a fun thing you could add one day
Hodgepodge sounds tasty!
New Yorker here ... tea is better unsweetened, so you can actually taste the tea 🍵
as a person from Kentucky i was just f̵̡̧͙̝̈́̐̈͛̿̏͘͝ő̴̧̭͂̏̀̕̚̕͝ś̵̠͙̗̹̼g̵̲͉̳̠͇̞̜͙̩͍̖͗̊̓̈́̐̿̏̿͠͝͝j̵̘͉̘̺̩͔̣̠̦̟͂̅͜͝į̸̛̟̫̺͉͙̫̦̓̍̾̄͑̈́͜͜d̷̡̢̟̤̼͉̳̞͙͎̈́͆̎̕̚͜r̷͓̥͍̱͈͑́̌̓́̏̀͘o̴̡̡̬̻͍͚͕͚̟͙͌́͜ͅ
Kentuckian here, most of this is really accurate, even for Lexington and Louisville, only one I haven't heard is the dirty bird thing.
calling a waterfall a mullet is fucking comedy genius
Burgoo is just another name for hobo stew isn’t it? That’s what we called it growing up in West Virginia.
I'm from Kentucky and I've never heard of any of this
ive always called shopping carts buggies, and im from Florida.
The sweet tea one is a fact
Oh man, and I thought our 50-mile yard sale was ridiculous!
Im from Louisville ky. I can don’t relate to this except the tea part 🕺💃
As a Kentuckian I will confirm
Guten Tag!!!
2:08 i’ve been there and it’s beautiful
👍 for Florida 🥰
As a Floridian who lived in Kentucky for 12 years maybe I lived in the wrong part of Kentucky but I didn't get any of those.
Npw ive found the perfect ben vidthe picture of beshear killed me
I don’t know if it’s just my grandparents small town of Paducah Kentucky but not all their restaurants serve sweet teas and the ones that do don’t know how to brew it.
pov: you're from Kentucky and you've never heard any of these until now
Bro, We need one for California bro.
If you ask me to make chili with elbow pasta, I will personally dump the bean water down your jeans
As someone from Louisville, I have never heard a majority of these.
Yes you have. You aren't originally from Louisville if you haven't, you're a transplant.
oooh, so that's what it's called... I thought it was just called ''Everything but the kitchen sink''
Dirty birds is what saints fans call the Atlanta falcons
I'm sure Florida only recognizes Churchill the tank
the only familiar thing to me is that chili has macaroni noodles in it. I'm from texas and that's how my mom makes it
Our Chili has SPAGHETTI noodles lol, and it's actually original to Cincinnati, OH. And no one calls KFC dirty bird! We call it trash and go to Indis haha
Born and raised Kentuckian, but never heard of burgoo
I've never called a cart a buggy, and I thought the yard sale was on US 127.
There's also one on US 60
You aren't from Kentucky if you've never said buggy, I've never seen a single person call it a shopping cart, you're lying or not from Kentucky originally, seems.
I'd eat at a hodgepodge lodge
Why did I, as a Kentuckian, only know 2 of these
What's that about the yard sale? As a truck driver, I'm wondering if this is something I should go see or something I should avoid.
I was really expecting hollers, spelled hollow
I’m questioning if I’m from Kentucky after watching this
127 yard sales days is upon us once again
"Voodoo" "Who do?" Close FL...close
Love it but you forgot there KY staple the ALE81 not mentioning it is like not saying WV has pepperoni rolls
im from NKY, so it's rare for me to hear these. Id say im more an Ohioan. it's weird.
Is the capital of Kentucky pronounced Louie-ville or Lewis-ville?
When I lived there, we pronounced the capital "Frankfort".
Did I just hear elbow noodles in chili... I'm severely depressed
I live in Kentucky I've heard none of these before
Kentucky isn’t the only state in that yard sale or am I thinking about another longer yard sale?
Accurate
I am from Kentucky and wondering where this stuff came from
