I'm an older southern woman, and this video is spot-on! Before watching, my husband asked me what I was going to do, and I replied, "I'm fixin' to watch those two British fellas (bless their hearts) react to videos." And when it comes to dialect, we are enamored with the British accent. Even if a person is one brick shy of a load, it makes them sound intelligent. We love your channel. Y'all, keep those videos comin'!
I live in the south. I hear and say a lot of this on a daily basis 😂😂idc what anyone says, we all have that older relative who puts a the in front of everything. They got propane for sale down there at the Walmart 😂
I was cracking up. So much fun watching two goobers react to a bunch of goobers for all us goobers. Having grown up in the south we also learned at an early age that all first names MUST have at least 2 syllables. Jim is pronounced JEE UMM, Bill is pronounced BEE ULL, etc The more rural or poor the area, the thicker the accent. My southern accent is very heavy because my family was so poor we used to go to Kentucky Fried Chicken on Sundays and lick other people's fingers. Thanks Richard for a great suggestion. And from one goober to goober 1 and goober 2, thanks for a very entertaining reaction.- Hawk
@Hawk-ODA212 I take that "Goober" is a good thing then 😂😂 "we used to go to Kentucky Fried Chicken on Sundays and lick other people's fingers" now that is funny!!! Cheers Hawk
I'm from Mississippi and definitely have said these things. I have monograms on everything! The small blonde was in my sorority at Ole Miss, or the University of Mississippi by it's proper name.
@@BritPopsReact What @JohnPaul-hms2ys said is how it's used now, but the origin comes from the old Southern name for peanuts which was goober peas. There's even an old Civil War era song titled "Eating Goober Peas" ruclips.net/video/73u_yeFoEsM/видео.html
I have the Privilege of being born and raised in Alabama and Southern Women can really Sweet Talk you when they are in a good mood just don’t get them Angry.
Most of my family is from Tennessee, Virginia (Appalachia), West Virginia and a few scattered about in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Most of them somehow ended up in Ohio. I could listen to my older relatives, who seemed to hang on to their accents alot more than the kids, and within a few hours I sound like I grew up in the deep south. Bless your little pea picking hearts.😁😁 Peace and love all.
Regarding accents: Southern accennts are quite varied. As an Ameeican, I can usually tell if you are from tje Deep Sputh. You get the more elongated forms in the so-termed "Deep South". For example, my first name has three syllables in parts pf South Carolina "Cha-ya-ad." However, this wpuldn't apply for Upper-class Deep South who don't soeak invisible syllables, but instread draw out existing ones. Also, Georgia is technically Deep South, but the city of Atlanta doesn't count, it's a yankee bubble. ;)
@@ramonalfaro3252Yes. But Gomer evebtually became smarter than Goober after he enlisted in the army [a bit too smart for hos own good, but smarter nonethless. Ref.the spin-off Gomer Pyle USMC. ]
Each of the minor single-syllable curse words, likt @Hawk said about first names, needs to be extended to have two syllables. DAY-UM! SHEE-IT! HAY-UHL! And each can be modified by a preceedind W'll. W'll Dayum!
I hear all of these and say the majority of them. Some of the sayings would only be understood in the South-you’d have no idea what was meant by them talking about Clemson (a college in South Carolina) or that monogramming is /was a huge thing in the South, particularly by debutants! And, don’t make fun of our accents especially since you Brits put an “r” in words that don’t have one. 😜
I was born in New Hampshire. As a kid we lived in Texas briefly. I don't think I understood them or the slang at all and I am not sure they understood my families accent or new England slang. Had some very interesting moments. Now I'm in northern Virginia in alphabet soup
A lot of these us Yankees say as well including the term Goober. There is a candy by that name but it's probably from a character on the Andy Griffith Show. It's typically a non intellectual person that it describes. 😅 If any American woman says, "Oh HELL No!!" to you. Too late. You're screwed 😅 Here in my neck of woods us Dutchy people have our own words and sayings that make the rest of the population scratch their heads.. "What they just say?' "I'll go redd up the room." (Tidy/clean up the room) Before you leave the room outten the lights." Turn the lights off before you leave the room..) Are just a couple.😅😂 After watching a lot of British reaction videos I can hear some regional differences in the English accents. Especially north of England and the south. It's the same here perhaps on a larger scale though. Just in Pennsylvania there are dozens of different accents and idioms.😁
My family is all Southern. My Dad would joke about my Mothers accent. He said how can you say shot or rice and make it two syllables. Yes this is how we talk.
Goober is equivalent to nerd, goofball, twat, etc...but in a half-loving, half-mean, half-playing around, term of endearment to someone who's apparently the smartest in their litter...😅 kinda way.
@BritPopsReact if it makes yall feel better, yall are my FAVOURITE goobers....oh wait, let me Brit it up....(*clears throat*) goobas....love you guys from N. Carolina/USA...
Ah yes, the nuances of "southern" accents and colloquialisms. I find these ladies hilarious, but some of the humor is layered, and somewhat harder to catch.
Goober comes from The Andy Griffith Show. Gomer Pyle was the town's goofiest resident who operated the town's only petrol station. When Gomer left to go into the army, Goober Pyle (Gomer's cousin) moved to town (Mayberry) to operate the petrol station, but was even more of a goofball and foolish person than Gomer. In pther words a goober is someone whp is more goofy and foolish than anyone else in the area/town or soneone who s just a complete moron. :Being a goober is not a good thing.😂
there is a great one where they translate shakespeare . Some of these have far more of our colloquialisms this has some of the feel of the south tho . Bless their hearts. This one ain't their toppers
lol hey fellas!! Um your accents are super thick too ok? goobers are literally peanuts but it is more clearly explained as Gomer Pyles cousin. Slow witted and country

Is she from MS? She sounds like it. I also matriculated at the Harvard of the South.
@athanasiusofalexandria4304 Yes, if I remember correctly, she was from the Jackson area.
Goobers are those who seem a little daft. Even when they are saying something awful, southern women just sound so darn cute to northerners.
@JohnPaul-hm2ys
You nailed it, they sound very cute indeed

I always thought it was interesting how American Southerners and British people both say "reckon".
Australians too

at one time goobers meant peanuts. If anyone is a Civil war buff they will know the term eating goober peas.

😂😂😂😂 anything ending in an "a" they add an "r". Also they flip the long "A" with the short "A". 😂😂❤❤❤
The one with the thickest accent that you had trouble understanding is Julia Fowler. She's the creator and writer of the series.
--Goober is also another word for a peanut.
--Full saying is " Full as a tick, and happy as a bird-fed cat."

You can't even imitate this accent. It's either you've got it or you don't.

Southerners are the only people I know who can turn one syllable words into two syllables.

They are southerners for sure. However they over dramatizing the way they speak.
I heard that if you speed up a southern accent, it sound British
Don't understand half what southern people say.
I'm from So.Cal. moved to NC, married a local, I consider myself bi-lingual.

Are you guys making fun of Southern accents? I'm from Tennessee & I sound just like these ladies. Still enjoying your channel though...
@beverlydorn9498
Now, you know us to British gents would do no such thing 😆
Thank you for the support, we really appreciate it ya'll 😳
Side note: A southern woman calling you "sugar, or sweetie or sweetie pie" is not being nice. They are mad at about something or want something done
lol hey fellas!! Um your accents are super thick too ok?
