I couldn't help but giggle! My mom told me this! I was really young! Sh said there was some man knocked on the door! When she answered the man said he was hungry and asked for a sandwich! Well she brought him a sandwich back to him and he asked if she had a poke to put it in!! Absolutely love your stories! I am 78 years old and I can relate to the stories you tell! Thank you for sharing! I lost my husband in 2020. These stories make me smile!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALL YOUR STORIES, DEAR SOUL! They bring so much joy & and information back in the day. I've always wondered what life was like during your time and so different from mine at 70 yrs old. PLEASE don't ever stop.🙏🙏🙏👍❤️😁
My grandmother always referred to a paper bag as a poke. I still call a shopping cart a buggy and have all my life. We always called the last meal of the day, supper, never dinner. We say worsh clothes, not wash clothes. I sure did enjoy this video, it was really fun! Love and blessings, Sheila.
"Just love you to pieces!" My granny would say. I'm so pleased you are proud to be Southern Lady. Nothing wrong with them Yankees. They love to visit the South for fun. Our way of life is like taking vacation to them. Southern people make fun out of the hardest day of work. We got our Northern cousins up at 5 am to milk kept them working in the fields till dark and time to milk again and feed the animals. They loved it. Stories and old tales were told
I still call them pokes....your story made me think of a time when I was out of town when to a grocery store I never been to...I was putting my groceries one the belt...and move my buddie down and ask the clerk where to put it because you found not get back where you got up...she looked and me and said there called shopping carts and you people need to learn to talk...I looked at her and I said no you can call them what you want...Im Proud of my la language all I know ...and I also said I don't need this have fun putting it back No one is going to put me down for what my grandparents taught me...I talk the way I talk...so enjoyed the story I understood it all...like I told you before I'm from harlan Kentucky I'm proud to be a hillbilly thank you for all the stories I so enjoy them❤
My grandmother Bessie Mae, would address us kids playing around the farm as "you'uns". As in, you'uns wash up now, it's dinner time. It's been 14 years since her passing, but oh how I still miss her. 😢
I have to laugh! My sister, named Bena Mae, would pitch fits when somebody called her ‘Bessie Mae’. Also, “you young’ens git’ in this house right now!”
You brought back so many memories of old sayings. Our dear mother was an English/Latin teacher and she corrected us every time we got folksy. We lived on a farm in the Blue Ridge Mts and I loved the old sayings. Thanks Pat.❤
Ah, memories of folks that passed through my life. I’m from England, but grew up here in the State of Ohio. My Grandmother was so appalled by some of the slang, and she often would remind us to be mindful not to repeat the words that seemed to offend her ears! Lol! I loved the folks from Kentucky and Tennessee. I Found the slang and twang charming. The people were so kind and nice, and I have to say, not so stuffy like my Grandmother. 😂♥️🙋♀️
I laughed and laughed at all these sayings. Fixinto is my favorite and we said it all the time. Also when asking for directions the neighbors just lived down the road a piece or down yonder. I’m from Arkansas and you can take the girl out of Arkansas but Arkansas will never out if me. ❤️
I'm a Texan and my husband is from Illinois right at the Illinois/Missouri line. He said fixin to was the saying that drove him crazy😂 I had to explain all y'all to some New Jersey coworkers and they FINALLY got it. "It's like when y'all say youse guys"
Oh Miss Pat I laughed so much! I know all the sayings. I still go to the grocery store and call a cart a buggy. When my children and my niece were young we had a quilt that had flowers on it. When I wanted them to bring it to me I got to where I called it the flowerdy cover. My niece told me she was so embarrassed when she learned that wasn't a real word one day. Haha. I love all of our sayings. I hope they don't disappear either. I really and truly believe that we grew up in the best times. I know you are like me and wish we could go back. You keep up the great stories. I look forward to them. 🦃🐿🍁🍂🌾🌻
My mother used to say she was going to the store and lay in some groceries. I tell my friend now. You better lay in some groceries. She gets the biggest kick out of that every time I say it. Mom always said her grandma told her pretty is as pretty does. Mom grew up on a farm just outside of town, and she said when grandma would come home from town she would always check under the bed to see if anyone was under there. Lol Did you ever know of anyone to do that? Thank you for the Stories! You are a Charm to so many of Us! Thank You! Bonnie Lou from Ohio. ♥️😘
Thank you so much for talking like me. Both sides of my family migrated over from KY. I've lived in a couple of places that don't appreciate our dialect. It's funny because I don't mind their's. Blessings to all.
I love this Granny Pat. I’m a half breed.. My father was from NewYork and My Mother from Alabama. When my parents divorced in the 60’s we moved to Alabama.
I've read that article many times. Hilarious. Listen I moved from Chicago in 1970. Born raised there. Boy did I have culture shock! I could tell you some stories this little Yankee girl learned! I'm still in Mississippi. And all those sayings are true. I learned to never leave your BUGGY at a location in Walmart and return 10 min later (I was talking to a lady) and expect it to be there. This was in AZ. I asked where my BUGGY was? Clerk didn't know what I meant. I was told it's a basket or cart! Sooooo many stories like that. I could write a book! For me, the north begins when you cross the bridge in Cairo Illinois from Kentucky. 😅 oh my family used to laff at how fast I picked up the southern accent!! Theyd visit and seemed to enjoy our way of life. Had so many questions it drove me nuts. No garbage pickup then. No city water. Barely had 2 tv channels. Dry county. So bring your own booze! No air conditioning in this humid place. Skeeters. Flies. But oh they loved the fireworks!😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was a very enjoyable video for me! I grew up in KY, went to college for a year, got married, then finished my last three years of college. After that I began teaching and I taught a year and one summer in KY. Then, my husband’s job took us to Ohio. I taught after our first year living there until not long before our first child came along. After a year, I went back and taught until not long before we had our second bundle of joy. I didn’t live in the district where our children attended school, which I think was better for them and myself. I took off another year, then taught until I had my thirty years completed. It went fast and in a year and a half I’ll be eighty!
Greetings Granny Pat! That joke about the chicken and the possom just cracked me up! I'm from the South also. Thanks for sharing these. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Coming up a cloud ; pretty as a speckled pup; grinning like a possum eating sawbriars, she's as pretty as a rooster in socks. There was one about Georgia road map being crooked as a dogs hind legs? Thought of another my grandmother used daily "much obliged" - it seemed to fit behind a thank you and before a your welcome but I was never clear on it. Your memories are precious!
True story. In the first grade my family moved from the big city of Dallas Texas to a farming community called, I swear I'm not lying 'Hide and Hammer outside Academy Texas in 1968. The last two places are probably still not on any map. On the first day of school I was riding the school bus and on the way there the bus stopped at a small country store and several students got off and went inside. I asked another kid "why are the going in?". He replied "Their going to get some soda". I thought 'soda'? Why do they want to go in and get baking soda and needless to say they all got back on the bus with cokes not baking soda and from then on I knew soda was a different word for coke. Have your BEST weekend ever Granny Pat !! ❤
My parents moved from Texas after retirement for a short while to KY and lived in Paduca ( I probably misspelled it, sorry Granny Pat) while there.@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900ma’am, here in my part of Texas I grew up calling sodas “soda water” or sodie pop. I’m only 22, but calling soda cokes was how my Tennesseean grandma called em.
I am from the hills of Kentucky and would not be from anywhere else in anywhere else in the world.love you darling. Bless you and God bless and I will be watching.. I knew all the words. Love it. My word was garm means something dirty.
Wow another 1k subs overnight! You're doing a great job! I'm not from the south, but my mom's family was from Alabama & many of those sayings are quite familiar. I grew up in the desert in Arizona so I didn't get to see snow when I was a kid, but I have to deal with it every year here in Colorado.
Oh my gosh When I first married I moved to Woodbury Tennessee then Murfreesboro Tennessee, what an education I got as a young teenager. I grew up southern Illinois But I can relate to everything you are talking about I live in Missouri, now 46 years
Hi Granny Pat! Enjoyed this video a great deal. I think all of us from different regions come out with some real zingers and they are said but not to get a laugh. I live in Indiana and my accent is not charming. I enjoyed your list you shared. It was good to hear each one and some made me smile and laugh. All in fun. My aunt in Bloomington IN always walked us to the car and would say "youins come back". Sweet memories. Congrats on your subscriber number. We are all lucky to have you in our happy place each day. Bless you.❤ Nancy in IN.
@Chit Chat with Granny Pat yes ma’am you are right about us Texans sounding like y’all. When I was a boy, my grandmas folks from Tennessee would always get excited hearing me speak being old timers, they were used to kids losing their way of speaking southern. My uncle Johnny especially loved it “that boy sounds just like us” is what he’d always say. I picked up a lot of old timey southern speak, and being in the army right now as a young man nobody knows what I’m saying sometimes. I remember my grandma talking about snow cream, and about my great grandads mules.
I’m Southern, have the accent, love it, and will never lose it. One thing the author says that I take issue with: y’all is not singular; it is always plural. I guess all y’all is a larger number.
Texas and Kentucky share many similarities. You look fantastic, awesome glasses and earrings that go very well with your blouse. God Bless you and your family. Sure enjoy your wisdom and gracefulness!
From the north of England so many sayings can't remember them all. Lived in Canada now a long time. Never forget the look on my friends face when I first came here and asked her, can you knock me up in the morning. Meaning can you wake me up. 😂😅😅
Thank you! I was so entertained with your stories and especially hearing the Southern expressions. I grew up in the northeast- New York - So I am not familiar with any of those. But I did know “hissy fit”. Haha!!
Although I am not from the South, I sure appreciated all of the sayings that you covered here! Especially liked to "hissy fit" and the driving statements! Yeah, I have had a few hissy fits and I learned to drive way before I actually had a license. Mom and Dad were impressed with my driving skills when they went out with me to "teach" me. I wanted to move to your beautiful State years ago, but my better half would not hear of it. Now with home prices and interest rates so high, a move there may never happen, but I still look at RUclips for videos on Kentucky and I still look at homes there. You never know, miracles do happen! Your videos here make me feel like we are neighbors! Thanks again for another wonderful video; I look forward to your videos every day!
I just love you, Granny Pat! 😊 You’re FUN & interesting to listen to. Today’s my 55th birthday. My parents are in Heaven. It’s so nice to hear your stories, in Mama’s & Papa’s absences. You’d still be awesome even if they were still here. But because they’re not, you add that bit of fun, comfort, & joy that our elders always have to offer, which I miss. I hope that made sense. It’s still early, & I’m not sure if the coffee’s kicked in yet. LOL
I have recently discovered you yesterday and you bring me such comfort and I wish I could spend a day with you. You are wonderful. Thank you for the videos hun ❤️
@TrevorKombat I would give anything to spend the day with Granny Pat 💞 just Love her to pieces she's family to me 🌹 such a precious soul There are a few here on RUclips I would love to spend time with I don't have no friends here we're I live in Las Vegas ît gets very lonely Have a wonderful blessed day and a early Happy Thanksgiving to everyone 🦃 God Bless
Born and raised in Montana for 2 generations but grandparents were from Illinois for 2 generations and many before that from Kentucky and the Carolinas and my grandpa used to talk just like you and I hadn't the foggiest but guess I can only wish I had the days to live and learn and understand. God bless you
❤😊🎉 I got a big old boy turkey today! 20 pounder! 20 bucks at Costco. Cornbread is in the freezer, yams a plenty, and pecans for pie. Gearing up. I have everything ready, all systems GO!
I knew every word you said, I am from Paris Tennessee and my stomping ground was Murray Kentucky and BTW, This is the place you need to do all of your videos, that is so beautiful there.. I did not know Kentucky had the most lakes but we lived and boated on Kentucky Lake..
Your channel came up as a suggestion and I watched it. You remind me of my beloved grandma that I lost 13 years ago. I miss these kinds of topics and conversations I had my grandma. Your hair looks lovely. I remember my grandma going to the beauty parlor every week to get her hair washed and set. She got a perm every three months. Please keep the videos coming. They brighten up my day and keep reminding me of all the wonderful memories and stories of my grandma.
I loved this. It really made me giggle. Believe it or not, the true Pennsylvania Dutch people used to call a bag a "Toot." They would say, "Put that in a Toot for me." So comical. Thanks for making me laugh. Love you! Keep up the great videos. From Your Devoted Fan, Shirley From Hanover PA
I have been seeing a lot of seniors on the internet and social media lately and I must say I makes my day when I watch their videos, you have TheWhyteElephant for some wholesome tutorials on how to make various types of milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, floats and more, Grandma Droniak to make you laugh and yourself to relax and unwind with some chit chat
My fiance and I just adore your stories! We found you a few days ago and couldn't get enough. You brighten up our days, thank you for spending time with us. Much love.
Oh, how I loved this video. I have heard alot of these, and still hear them from some of the people that live in the mountains. Thanks for the fun tonight. Love you!❤
Ms. Pat, I knew all the words snd use and misuse of them and loved the reminders of growing up in Kentucky! I still hear "buggy" at grocery stores! Our dialect is still called the Queen's English!❤
Lovely video, Pat. I remember the big pans filled with snow, waiting for my grandmother to turn it into "ice cream." Oh, the simple thrills of childhood. I am from Georgia , and the sayings of the South are a real hoot! On that note, thanks, sweetie.
So Funny😆 I am from the north PA. Hunting season is a Holiday here too!! My mother in law also called shopping cart a buggy she also called blue jeans dungarees😁 Thanks Granny Pat🤗 You do a great job doing your hair!👍🏻 Thought of another one. In PA. We say crick for a creek😁
OK Google overtime I listen to Pat she's so funny but she's so hilarious a beautiful lady beautiful voice I love to hear and read I love to hear us tell stories she's a wonderful person from inside and out.
That was funny! I've never heard of most of those sayings. My mother was from southern Illinois and she said people referred to them as hillbillies. They would have tea with their sugar (that's the only way I like it), but she and her mother never spoke like that. Referring to a bag as a poke, was hilarious! Interesting how some words/sayings originate. I am originally from Michigan, so I've been to Kentucky. It's a beautiful state. I would love to see more.
Just love this fun video😂. I speak five languages fluently, grew up speaking Italian in our home and then when I got married back in 1978, a young bride and got stationed in Tennessee with the Army followed by six years in Kentucky. It took me forever to understand “southern” talk 😂
👁👁 You're sweet. Just found your channel. I'm an old southern gal from rural Tennessee. I get what you're sayin. I grew up talking this way. But when i moved to Memphis, I found out that these folks don't understand the language I was raised on. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't. Honest. These city folk just don't talk like us country girls. I miss country folk. I miss my old stompin grounds. It was nice to hear familiar expressions.
My Grandma say’s “Purnurt”! 😂 That’s so funny because we love in Michigan! But my Family act’s & talk’s like they are from the South! I have actually been told many times in my life that I sounded Southern! My Grandma also call’s the sink a “zink!”😂 She is so funny. Thank you for making me laugh. ❤
I know a lot of Kentucky words, my aunt has lived there all my life. She always lived in Louisville that family in Ohio never say right so she laughs at us. Sometimes she would say butter my butt and call me a biscuit. We pick on her for her accent but she says she doesn't have one. lol
Granny Pat. You're being ing back old memories.. I so love them too.my grandma would say. Hiya come hiya... Instead of here come here.lol❤how about ( I do declare) . Or you're going to get your butt blistered.lol so many more Thank you for the Rib ticklers! Love you Granny Pat
Hey beautiful Gran Gran!!!!!! Happy happy Friday!!!!! Hope your having a wonderful day I remember a lot of of these words my great grandmother used so many of them us kids would be at her house and fixing to go to the store and we would ask if she wanted anything and she would say yeah bring me a dope (she was referring to a coke) and as a small kid I would call coke’s dope’s also Now days if you said that they would think you were on some kind of drugs!!!! It’s crazy how time changes things I do miss hearing her say I want a dope she was a God fearing lady and would never touch any kind of drugs it’s just in how people interpret the words we say!!!!! And of course we brought her dope home to her in a poke!!!!!!! Sending you love hugs and prayers always 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Here in East Texas they have the yamboree of course from yams and they also have a fire ant festival God knows why Love you Granny Pat you made me laugh today
I loved everything you shared! As someone from another country its so interesting to learn about the US Geography and what Kentucky is like. Much love to you! It is very good listening to you talk.
Pat,I think you may be wrong about the state with the most lakes. My info says Minnesota. I was born in KY but lived in KY then MI and moved to Indiana and back to KY. I came to Michigan the last time in 1948 and have been here ever since. I still call KY home and wish I could again live there, but know that will never happen. I am 90 and probably my next move will be in Shanghvi Cemetery there my ashes will be poured into the grave by my husband. I have heard most of the sayings you read. My mother-in-law had an old saying for everything. I love watching your site because your memory is much better than mine. I remember little about my youth.
We adopted some of those sayings in the northeast, especially, “jeet”. We put something as a reply also. We surely have our way of talking also. We still make fun of the way we talk sometimes. It’s so fun to make fun of ourselves no matter where we live. Thanks so much. ❤️
Hi Granny Pat👋 yes I remember these old southern sayings!! As Ive said before I'm from Texas 🤗 My Mother used to say over yonder, or I will do it directly, fire was far , window was winderlight! I could go on and on! My Daddy would say much oblighed for thank you! And one more! He would say sure nuff! Meaning is that so! They are both gone now I miss them so much!! Enjoy the rest of your day Granny Pat!! I I♥️listening to your stories! Take care and hope to see you if the Good Lord is willing and the creeks dont rise!!🤗💕
I was born and raised in "Bawlmer, Merlin." Old Line State. Where everyone is called "hon." And "lahberry" is library, "perfick" is perfect, "turble" is terrible and "wurjagitdat?" is where did you get that? 😂 Thanks for the morning chit chat! Have a great weekend Sweet GP! ❤🐝fromColorado
Grandma never said "purse" it was a "pocketbook" Grandpa carried a "billfold" not a "wallet", " dinner" served at noon", supper was what ever was left over from dinner! You set on a "divan"not a "couch", you never went "downtown" it was "uptown", yes it was a "buggy" not a "shopping cart", summer we played with the lightening bugs...grandma made snow cream! If you had an itchy nose company was coming! If grandma was mad....she didn't mean no maybe! Love ya Granny Pat!😂😂😂❤
Haha you made me rofl again, Granny Pat. That poke story, oh hahaha. I couldn't stop laughing. And when you mentioned possum, I flipped. That reminds me of the show, The Beverly Hillbillies. "That's the thing about possum innards. They is just as good the second day.". Can't wait to hear more stories from you. Enjoy your evening. Love from Massachusetts!
I couldn't help but giggle! My mom told me this! I was really young! Sh said there was some man knocked on the door! When she answered the man said he was hungry and asked for a sandwich! Well she brought him a sandwich back to him and he asked if she had a poke to put it in!! Absolutely love your stories! I am 78 years old and I can relate to the stories you tell! Thank you for sharing! I lost my husband in 2020. These stories make me smile!!
Hi honey. I"m 70 and I lost my daughter in 2020. It's good to feel an occasional smile. Sorry for your loss. A day at a time.

I am from the hills of Kentucky and would not be from anywhere else in anywhere else in the world.love you darling. Bless you and God bless and I will be watching.. I knew all the words. Love it. My word was garm means something dirty.
Wow another 1k subs overnight! You're doing a great job! I'm not from the south, but my mom's family was from Alabama & many of those sayings are quite familiar. I grew up in the desert in Arizona so I didn't get to see snow when I was a kid, but I have to deal with it every year here in Colorado.
You are so delightful!!!!! My mama was from the south and I loved all of her expressions. Thank you for another fun video!
Oh my gosh
When I first married I moved to Woodbury Tennessee then Murfreesboro Tennessee, what an education I got as a young teenager.
I grew up southern Illinois
But I can relate to everything you are talking about
I live in Missouri, now 46 years
Hi Granny Pat! Enjoyed this video a great deal. I think all of us from different regions come out with some real zingers and they are said but not to get a laugh. I live in Indiana and my accent is not charming. I enjoyed your list you shared. It was good to hear each one and some made me smile and laugh. All in fun. My aunt in Bloomington IN always walked us to the car and would say "youins come back". Sweet memories. Congrats on your subscriber number. We are all lucky to have you in our happy place each day. Bless you.❤ Nancy in IN.
I’m lovin’ it.
Hi Granny Pat! I have a good friend in TX who has been teaching me Southern expressions for a few year now. Bless her heart! 😉
@Chit Chat with Granny Pat yes ma’am you are right about us Texans sounding like y’all. When I was a boy, my grandmas folks from Tennessee would always get excited hearing me speak being old timers, they were used to kids losing their way of speaking southern. My uncle Johnny especially loved it “that boy sounds just like us” is what he’d always say. I picked up a lot of old timey southern speak, and being in the army right now as a young man nobody knows what I’m saying sometimes. I remember my grandma talking about snow cream, and about my great grandads mules.
You have a memorable background history. Don’t forget it!
I’m Southern, have the accent, love it, and will never lose it. One thing the author says that I take issue with: y’all is not singular; it is always plural. I guess all y’all is a larger number.
Texas and Kentucky share many similarities. You look fantastic, awesome glasses and earrings that go very well with your blouse.
God Bless you and your family. Sure enjoy your wisdom and gracefulness!
Love you pert-ner as much as anyone!
From the north of England so many sayings can't remember them all. Lived in Canada now a long time. Never forget the look on my friends face when I first came here and asked her, can you knock me up in the morning. Meaning can you wake me up. 😂😅😅
Thank you for reminding me of my roots. Born and raised in KY but moved out to Colorado 2 years ago. Miss home quite a bit. ♥️♥️
Thank you! I was so entertained with your stories
and especially hearing the Southern expressions. I grew up in the northeast- New York - So I am not familiar with any of those. But I did know “hissy fit”. Haha!!
@@lizreilly8336 I threw a lot of them! HA!
Although I am not from the South, I sure appreciated all of the sayings that you covered here! Especially liked to "hissy fit" and the driving statements! Yeah, I have had a few hissy fits and I learned to drive way before I actually had a license. Mom and Dad were impressed with my driving skills when they went out with me to "teach" me. I wanted to move to your beautiful State years ago, but my better half would not hear of it. Now with home prices and interest rates so high, a move there may never happen, but I still look at RUclips for videos on Kentucky and I still look at homes there. You never know, miracles do happen! Your videos here make me feel like we are neighbors! Thanks again for another wonderful video; I look forward to your videos every day!
I just love you, Granny Pat! 😊 You’re FUN & interesting to listen to. Today’s my 55th birthday. My parents are in Heaven. It’s so nice to hear your stories, in Mama’s & Papa’s absences. You’d still be awesome even if they were still here. But because they’re not, you add that bit of fun, comfort, & joy that our elders always have to offer, which I miss. I hope that made sense. It’s still early, & I’m not sure if the coffee’s kicked in yet. LOL
In the South, you "carry" someone to the store. A light bulb is a light bub. One more, hair is hare.
There’s a strong emphasis on the ‘ i ‘ in light.
😂😊 Granny Pat your a sweetheart, thank you for the laughs. I am from Cali...California😊🌅
You make laugh, I never heard of that word. You have a great day ❤
That reading was adorable!
I have recently discovered you yesterday and you bring me such comfort and I wish I could spend a day with you. You are wonderful. Thank you for the videos hun ❤️
@TrevorKombat
I would give anything to spend the day with Granny Pat 💞 just Love her to pieces she's family to me 🌹 such a precious soul
There are a few here on RUclips I would love to spend time with
I don't have no friends here we're I live in Las Vegas ît gets very lonely
Have a wonderful blessed day and a early Happy Thanksgiving to everyone 🦃 God Bless
I enjoyed your video thanks for sharing . Love your stories. Have a nice day!
Born and raised in Montana for 2 generations but grandparents were from Illinois for 2 generations and many before that from Kentucky and the Carolinas and my grandpa used to talk just like you and I hadn't the foggiest but guess I can only wish I had the days to live and learn and understand. God bless you
From Ohio, but been in North Florida since 1966. Enjoy your stories.
❤😊🎉 I got a big old boy turkey today! 20 pounder! 20 bucks at Costco. Cornbread is in the freezer, yams a plenty, and pecans for pie. Gearing up. I have everything ready, all systems GO!
What time should I arrive?
@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 About 2pm will work!😅 Save your appetite.
I knew every word you said, I am from Paris Tennessee and my stomping ground was Murray Kentucky and BTW, This is the place you need to do all of your videos, that is so beautiful there.. I did not know Kentucky had the most lakes but we lived and boated on Kentucky Lake..
Well, we both now know I was wrong. It’s Alaska. I probably learned that before Alaska became a state!!
Your channel came up as a suggestion and I watched it. You remind me of my beloved grandma that I lost 13 years ago. I miss these kinds of topics and conversations I had my grandma. Your hair looks lovely. I remember my grandma going to the beauty parlor every week to get her hair washed and set. She got a perm every three months. Please keep the videos coming. They brighten up my day and keep reminding me of all the wonderful memories and stories of my grandma.
Appreciate you pat. Lot's of blessings and God bless you.
I loved this. It really made me giggle. Believe it or not, the true Pennsylvania Dutch people used to call a bag a "Toot." They would say, "Put that in a Toot for me." So comical. Thanks for making me laugh. Love you! Keep up the great videos. From Your Devoted Fan, Shirley From Hanover PA
I have been seeing a lot of seniors on the internet and social media lately and I must say I makes my day when I watch their videos, you have TheWhyteElephant for some wholesome tutorials on how to make various types of milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, floats and more, Grandma Droniak to make you laugh and yourself to relax and unwind with some chit chat
My fiance and I just adore your stories! We found you a few days ago and couldn't get enough. You brighten up our days, thank you for spending time with us. Much love.
Very funny story thanks Granny Pat
Oh, how I loved this video. I have heard alot of these, and still hear them from some of the people that live in the mountains. Thanks for the fun tonight. Love you!❤
Ms. Pat, I knew all the words snd use and misuse of them and loved the reminders of growing up in Kentucky! I still hear "buggy" at grocery stores! Our dialect is still called the Queen's English!❤
I’m loving these more frequent videos, and loving to get a daytime dose of sunshine, no matter the outside weather. ❤️
Yes ma'am we southerners agree yall come back now ya here fried chicken collared greens and cornbread would do without it enjoyed ya reading to us 😊
Lovely video, Pat. I remember the big pans filled with snow, waiting for my grandmother to turn it into "ice cream." Oh, the simple thrills of childhood. I am from Georgia , and the sayings of the South are a real hoot! On that note, thanks, sweetie.
I'm in Texas, and you're right about accents 🙂
Nana don’t forget “ Bless your heart”
So Funny😆 I am from the north PA. Hunting season is a Holiday here too!! My mother in law also called shopping cart a buggy she also called blue jeans dungarees😁 Thanks Granny Pat🤗 You do a great job doing your hair!👍🏻 Thought of another one. In PA. We say crick for a creek😁
Hello Pat
I just love listening to your stories! You are so sweet!
OK Google overtime I listen to Pat she's so funny but she's so hilarious a beautiful lady beautiful voice I love to hear and read I love to hear us tell stories she's a wonderful person from inside and out.
Hey I hope you are having a safe day.
That was funny! I've never heard of most of those sayings. My mother was from southern Illinois and she said people referred to them as hillbillies. They would have tea with their sugar (that's the only way I like it), but she and her mother never spoke like that. Referring to a bag as a poke, was hilarious! Interesting how some words/sayings originate. I am originally from Michigan, so I've been to Kentucky. It's a beautiful state. I would love to see more.
Love your smile. Makes me happy.❤
Just love this fun video😂. I speak five languages fluently, grew up speaking Italian in our home and then when I got married back in 1978, a young bride and got stationed in Tennessee with the Army followed by six years in Kentucky. It took me forever to understand “southern” talk 😂
👁👁 You're sweet. Just found your channel. I'm an old southern gal from rural Tennessee. I get what you're sayin. I grew up talking this way. But when i moved to Memphis, I found out that these folks don't understand the language I was raised on. Sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't. Honest. These city folk just don't talk like us country girls. I miss country folk. I miss my old stompin grounds. It was nice to hear familiar expressions.
My Grandma say’s “Purnurt”! 😂
That’s so funny because we love in Michigan! But my Family act’s & talk’s like they are from the South! I have actually been told many times in my life that I sounded Southern! My Grandma also call’s the sink a “zink!”😂 She is so funny. Thank you for making me laugh. ❤
Love from a Ky Gal on The Bourbon Trail. Thank you for this precious video.
I know a lot of Kentucky words, my aunt has lived there all my life. She always lived in Louisville that family in Ohio never say right so she laughs at us. Sometimes she would say butter my butt and call me a biscuit. We pick on her for her accent but she says she doesn't have one. lol
"poke" from, Don't buy a pig in a poke.
Another, "I'll be dog 'gone" I gotta charge ma'phone now. 📱
You’re gittin’ downright southern!
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 😜😜😜😜👍
My mom and dad used to say a lot of those expressions, or words (especially my dad). I had forgotten a lot of those. It’s good to hear your stories!
Granny Pat. You're being ing back old memories.. I so love them too.my grandma would say. Hiya come hiya... Instead of here come here.lol❤how about ( I do declare) . Or you're going to get your butt blistered.lol so many more
Thank you for the Rib ticklers! Love you Granny Pat
We often heard …I’m gonna’ tan your hide!
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 lol
Hey beautiful Gran Gran!!!!!! Happy happy Friday!!!!! Hope your having a wonderful day I remember a lot of of these words my great grandmother used so many of them us kids would be at her house and fixing to go to the store and we would ask if she wanted anything and she would say yeah bring me a dope (she was referring to a coke) and as a small kid I would call coke’s dope’s also Now days if you said that they would think you were on some kind of drugs!!!! It’s crazy how time changes things I do miss hearing her say I want a dope she was a God fearing lady and would never touch any kind of drugs it’s just in how people interpret the words we say!!!!! And of course we brought her dope home to her in a poke!!!!!!! Sending you love hugs and prayers always 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Here in East Texas they have the yamboree of course from yams and they also have a fire ant festival God knows why Love you Granny Pat you made me laugh today
I loved everything you shared! As someone from another country its so interesting to learn about the US Geography and what Kentucky is like. Much love to you! It is very good listening to you talk.
I know those expressions, was raised in the South. I agree about the seasons, I need them too.
Pat,I think you may be wrong about the state with the most lakes. My info says Minnesota. I was born in KY but lived in KY then MI and moved to Indiana and back to KY. I came to Michigan the last time in 1948 and have been here ever since. I still call KY home and wish I could again live there, but know that will never happen. I am 90 and probably my next move will be in Shanghvi Cemetery there my ashes will be poured into the grave by my husband. I have heard most of the sayings you read. My mother-in-law had an old saying for everything. I love watching your site because your memory is much better than mine. I remember little about my youth.
You are right about the Lakes. Don’t know where I read that somewhere. Glad you corrected me. Thinking gets a little lopsided At times.
I heard my mother say those expressions all the time i’m from Charleston West Virginia
This was so hilarious 😂 You just made my day!!❤❤❤
So cute 😊being a westerner ca &az all my life I'm sure southerners think we talk funny 😊
I love your videos and stories, you warm my heart
We adopted some of those sayings in the northeast, especially, “jeet”. We put something as a reply also. We surely have our way of talking also. We still make fun of the way we talk sometimes. It’s so fun to make fun of ourselves no matter where we live. Thanks so much. ❤️
I love it ! And its very true. Arkansas for me.
Yes, yes Granny Pat. ❤️
Hi Granny Pat👋 yes I remember these old southern sayings!! As Ive said before I'm from Texas 🤗 My Mother used to say over yonder, or I will do it directly, fire was far , window was winderlight! I could go on and on! My Daddy would say much oblighed for thank you! And one more! He would say sure nuff! Meaning is that so! They are both gone now I miss them so much!! Enjoy the rest of your day Granny Pat!! I I♥️listening to your stories! Take care and hope to see you if the Good Lord is willing and the creeks dont rise!!🤗💕
PS Not sure where that one came from but I hear it often!Bye again!😄
Thank you for the memories ❤
I was born and raised in "Bawlmer, Merlin." Old Line State. Where everyone is called "hon." And "lahberry" is library, "perfick" is perfect, "turble" is terrible and "wurjagitdat?" is where did you get that? 😂 Thanks for the morning chit chat! Have a great weekend Sweet GP!
❤🐝fromColorado
This was fun Granny. I told the clerk once "oh I forgot oleo". She asked me what the heck was oleo?
Grandma never said "purse" it was a "pocketbook" Grandpa carried a "billfold" not a "wallet", " dinner" served at noon", supper was what ever was left over from dinner! You set on a "divan"not a "couch", you never went "downtown" it was "uptown", yes it was a "buggy" not a "shopping cart", summer we played with the lightening bugs...grandma made snow cream! If you had an itchy nose company was coming! If grandma was mad....she didn't mean no maybe! Love ya Granny Pat!😂😂😂❤
We had a davinette! Or davinet!
I love this !!! 😂
Soo true !!! 😊❤
Haha you made me rofl again, Granny Pat. That poke story, oh hahaha. I couldn't stop laughing. And when you mentioned possum, I flipped. That reminds me of the show, The Beverly Hillbillies. "That's the thing about possum innards. They is just as good the second day.". Can't wait to hear more stories from you. Enjoy your evening. Love from Massachusetts!
My granny said that too about getting dark and so do I
