Matt looks so much more relaxed and happy since he's been retired. Good on him!
Oh my goodness! I laughed so much with this video. This is the first time Matt took this test, huh? He done great, though! I enjoyed hearing you guys laughing as I was laughing with y'all. Thank you for the video, Tipper. I have always appreciated Language, having been a teacher. Bless you for keeping the Appalachian Language alive. Have a Blessed evening.☕
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m at #4 in the video and have never used any of these words or phrases! I’m going to fail! 😉
Great Video
Very educational and informative! Your family showing us show much Love!
Punkin blast this October 21 & 23 Brasstown , NC 😊
Laughed till I cried! Especially "light a rag"🤣🤣Loved seeing Matt get to enjoy time with ALL his girls! God bless you all and Granny too!🍁🍂🍁🍂
When Matt wrote "I hate wearing a choke rag." coming from him it just sounded natural. Tipper & Matt you both are so compatible 😊
I like this format so we had time to think of an answer. This is the second video today where Katie is craving an all beef hotdog and a lemonade, y'all should make a lunch trip to the flea market before that girl comes un-fed!🙌😁😜
I imagined a cartoon bubble over Matt’s head saying “I wonder if I can get my old job back?” 😂 Although he aced that test. 💯
I grew up in Appalachia (far eastern TN) and have heard and or use around 90% of the words in these kinds of your videos. However, I had never heard the term “unfed” that y’all use. I absolutely love that and have adopted it in to my everyday life. You are doing a wonderful job celebrating Appalachia for the world to see! Thanks!
This was fun Tipper. I think I only knew about 4 of the words. Matt's a genius. "He could be a professor!" 😅 love and prayers to granny and the whole family.
Hilarious! 😆🤣😆🤣 I love to see you all laughing until you cry!!! It is very interesting how generational these ways of speaking are. And the changes that evolve are fascinating, too. Language is alive! Thanks for sharing your Celebration, and for the chickles!!! Peace be with you. 💚
So funny! I laughed at those silly girls. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Tipper, I cherish your love to hang onto and share with younger generations, the treasures of the APPALACHIAN language! So deeply rich in teaching of the culture that is their heritage.
My dad grew up in rural Arkansas. He liked to cut up and often had funny phrases. I was an only child and I would jokingly tell on him to my mom. Every time he would smile and say girl, hesh yer jaw. 😁
I love that!
😀
Theres another youtuber in Pennsylvania that was raised up close to the Amish & Mennonite communities & her mother would say 'red' up. I love how different cultures & ways of speaking an befound in different areas. I find that there are a few words that ive said all my life & im a true Minnesotan. Just fascinating. Thx for sharing.
I agree with you Tipper. I say words and phrases that my mom, dad, grandparents said just so my daughters and grandchildren hear them. Also I just like hearing them 👍🍞
All of your videos on Appalachian language are delightful! I know you're aware of the judgement often passed on folks for speaking a certain way and here you are celebrating a special communication gathered from generations of immigrants. I hope more and more people discover your channel and begin to understand and embrace the celebration of cultural language, traditions, recipes and ways of life! Thank you, so much, for breaking down another barrier!!
Getting ready for a big family visit I was going in circles doing several projects at once. Finally I could hear my late Mom saying ,"you've got too many irons in the fire!" I had to laugh to myself and thought- need to send that to Tipper!
That's a good one 😀
What fun I laughed so hard. Prayers for Granny🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Love this!! My dad would always say "pert'n near" for just about. Then he would ask, "Did you learn anything?" Miss him and his ways.
I passed your test and hubby and I had fun playing along. I was exposed to all these rich words and the culture to go along with it. I feel so blessed but my own kids missed out as my husband was military and we moved all over the country. I wish I could remember all the things my family used to say when I was growing up.
I love these tests. They’re so much fun. See what you were missing Matt. Special prayers for Granny! Take care Pressley family!❤️🇨🇦🙏
Thank you Gary 😀
LOL not even one full minute into the video and I've already belly laughed. Matt's expression at 0:57 is priceless! He's like "a sentence?!" 😄
😀
😂 HEIST!!! I’m the heist paid person in here! 😂😂😂😂 I loved this video! This reminds me so much how my grandma used to talk 😊 Thank you for the laugh this morning, I really needed it ❤
That was a fun video! I love the quizzes and it was good to have Matt join in on the fun.😊🎉
I love it that Corie kept her paper because her Dad graded it ❤
I have to say that I would have failed that test.
We moved to Ohio from East Tennessee in late fifties,my grandmother lived in Murphy N.C.,oh how they ridiculed our accent and choice of words. I did make dear friends who took my part, my friend Pat ( Irish lineage) said redd the table…never heard the word 😊 I wish someone like you had proudly spoke for us! Love to watch!
This is one of my favorite videos, i loved the laughter, the family time, the pure wholesome togetherness. Matt and katie are so alike lol. Little impish! Thanks for sharing
That was so much fun! I love my Southern roots and continue to use as many words as I can on a daily basis. It drives my family nuts.😂
This is cracking me up!..Katie's statement "That's not even a word"...I sure hope you read Matts answers...it might take you all day, haha...What a fun activity to put in your vlogs...I sure wouldn't have done well...Good luck Corie, Katie and Matt. 😊😂I hope none of you lose your accents...I love listening to you all talk.😊God Bless you all🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦
“Red the table “-my grandmother used that phrase: northern Ohio/ early 1950’s. Wondered where it came from and could only guess it referred to ridding the table of dishes after a meal.
Love all that you share
Oh my!! I got a zero! But goodness it was such a pleasure seeing a different side of Matt. His laugh is infectious and the way all of y’all were so genuinely having a great time! Warms my heart!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Put Matt's test paper on the refrigerator door
😀
Sodie water to us is baking soda.We fix sodie water for heart burn or upset stomach in Morehead Kentucky.Loved the test.💯
My mom gave us the same thing 😅
This was hilarious! What a wonderful family you have. It's also kinda sad because it shows how the wonderful Appalachian dialect is dying out, but that's the result of movies, TV, and radio.
What good sports you are. Matt’s just get ur done and hiding his correct answers. Family fun around the kitchen table. Love it❤
I grew up in Appalachia, but only knew one or two of those words. And yes, it is so true that each Appalachian area has their own differences.❤ West Virginia is my home. I have heard MANY words that you use, as the same as I grew up hearing. 😊
I was born in 1943 and came from Pittsburgh, PA and my parents and I always say “read up your room”, meaning to clean up your room. I was told it came from the South to say”right up your room”. Love your family and your channel.
That was so much fun! I literally laughed out loud and clapped my hands at some of the answers.
I love these tests! One of the things that I hold to and treasure is the way my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins talk(ed). My mothers’ side was more “southern belle’, while my fathers’ people were “plain” folk. Both sides from Tennessee, west and east. I love them all and am proud of both sides. Like most these days, we are “blended”. Thank you “everbody”!
This is crazy fun. Laughed til I cried. First couple words I thought Matt was writing a book.
He did run out of ink
The words you bring up are such an important part of your heritage. Just as we study the history of other out-dated things, I love how you bring the unique southern Appalachian language into view. Thank you for this!!
I pay close attention to these language videos and take notes. I want to be able to use some of these words in my daily conversations to brighten up the talk. Thanks very much for this offering.
Y’all’s answers had me nearly choking on my dinner. 😂Too funny, but Corie and Katie both did better than me!
Enjoyed this Miss Tipper! Laughter is good for the soul, thank y’all for a good dose of it today. Matt graduated at the top of this class lol 😂 👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
😀 Glad you enjoyed it!
4 in and I've never heard of any of these 😂 can't wait to hear the definitions!
Steph ❤
😀
Hope you do this again, I'm still smiling! Need a prayer, not feeling good. Love you all. God Bless. Jean 😊 💞&🙏🙏's for Granny
I LOVE THESE💛🌻Hilarious 😆
So glad you enjoy them 😀
Tipper I love the Appalachian words you share. Often, I wish we could sit down together and compare our different versions of the English language. Some of the words have migrated up north. Some may have migrated down south. But I love hearing the different words, accents, and the way you speak. It makes me happy.
Thanks Tipper! I love how you filmed this. I felt just like I was sitting at the table playing along with Y’all.🙋🏻♀️
Glad you enjoyed it!
😂I really enjoyed the test! I got a 100%!!! Of course, I am 60 years old too. That makes a difference. I live in Middle Tennessee on our farm. We are about 3 hours away from y'all. I love all of you. I consider you all my friends. Praying for you all. Sending special prayers for Granny, Katie, and that precious little boy. GOD bless you all. Your friend, T
Thank you! Happy to be your friends 😀
I flunked out with 40%. Nobody's gonna hist me on their shoulders for that performance! I had fun though, y'all crack me up. God bless!
Loved this! Everybody has us cracking up! The only thing different for us, is we call baking soda and water sodie water. This was fun. Love y’all bunches!
We loved this. We got a couple right So funny. Praying for Granny today. We hope it went ok. Praying for you all too. Yall have a blessed night.
This was so fun. I loved it! 😂
That was too cute!!
You had an interesting classroom of students 😅 and you're a great teacher. 😊
Continued prayers for everyone. ❤
I love listening to the word's of years gone by. Enjoyed the test and your families answers❣
My sides hurt from laughing, thank you for sharing your laughter & wonderful family!
We love all the ways you celebrate Appalachia! This video was especially entertaining because I grew up hearing my parents and grandparents using these words. My grandfather (we called him Pop) called cover (blankets and quilts) “kiver”. It’s getting more challenging for me to remember and use the language of my grandparents. This makes me sad.
That was so much fun 😅 I laughed so much I cried.
That was so much fun to watch! I laughed until I cried and my sides hurt. I hope you do more of this material. Besides it being fun to watch, I’m learning new words or remembering the old ones my relatives used to say. Prayers for all, especially Granny, God bless.🙏🏻❤️
LOVED THIS VIDEO! 😂 And Katie, don’t worry I’m left handed too! You’ll never be left out! You’re a hoot! 😍
Thank you for sharing your family fun Tipper. I love the Appalachian words/phrases.
Katie you’re not alone. I’m left handed too❤
That was fun! I knew about half of the words... thanks Tipper and family for keeping our rich history alive 🎃👍👍
This was too funny! Katie, I do believe this pregnancy is making you crave hotdogs! 😂
What good family fun!!! Loved the words and meanings of those Appalachian words! I’ve used some of them!! Loved it!! Matt did good!! God bless and much love! 💕🤗🙏🏻
I missed 2.
"Light a Rag" and
"Far Board"
I had heard "She 'lit' out of here when her momma called", but I never heard the rag part.
And Far Board, I remembered, too, after I figured out it was fire..lol..
I thought it was an out-back lean-to.😂
Loved this video!
It looked so *FUN*
GOD Bless your family
🕊️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸🎶
Grand fun. And I learned about phrases my family does use! 🥰🤗
I grew up in Appalachia Ohio and I grew up hearing “red up the room”. My boys grew up hearing “Redd up the room”. But they have not passed this language onto my grandchildren. So in my direct family, I am the last person using this language. I hope the language is never lost. Like you I love hearing it.
Fun! So cool to see the different personalities of the girls. 😃
Tipper, what a fun way to learn. I got a few!😃
Thanks for this! Reminding me of my Appalachian grandmother “Nanny” who used a lot of these words. Switching my brain back to the colorful way to use all the words & phrases.
Loved having Matt in this one… seeing the multi-generational results is eye opening.
Thank you for the laughter. If I'd had stitches I would have busted them.
I always heard folks say, "He lit a shuck outa there" instead a lit a rag. I love to hear y'alls language courses, they remind me of home and where I got the things I still say today.
This was so much fun. I laughed along with your family. I have to say I haven't heard most of those and I'm from the South. 🤣
So glad you are keeping these words and phrases alive.
I love these !!!! Thanks
This was the best. I loved it.
I loved this video!
Thank you Tipper for the fun video today Stay safe . Prayers for granny
Matt is writing a dissertation for every sentence…can’t wait to hear them!😂😂
This was so much fun! Love to all.
Y'all had fun with the test. So cute ❤
This was so funny! Ty Tipper.
These vocabulary videos are always so funny 😊 Sometimes I surprise myself at the ones I actually know.
That was so much fun to watch and play along with!
I love the videos where you focus on the vocabulary of Appalachia, and this was one of the funniest ones to date! A little family competition is always good for laughs. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness, I LOVED this!! I was born (my Grandma used to say "borned") and raised in Middle Tennessee, and I 've heard most of these words my whole life.
Very cute, quality, and creative family time together. Loved this ❤
Y’all had me laughing! This is the best language test so far. Love the video.
I love hearing you all laugh and having fun!
Loved❤this video, thanks for sharing, I laughed so hard and please keep doing these!
Loved the video. Please do more.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Thank you!
This was so fun to watch! I laughed along with you. 😂
That was too funny! Had me cryin'!
I liked this idea very much. You guys were great.
Here in Louisiana, it's such a diverse part of the country that you hear things you do hear in other parts of the country. The accents here are wonderful. I didn't realize how different we really were until I got out of the house.
Thank you Tipper I really enjoyed this ! God Bless you and your family
You folks are the absolute best. Your videos always brighten my day and bring back fond memories of my youth living in rural middle Tennessee. God bless y’all.
Great video. So funny. I was laughing along with y'all. Fun to see your crew getting so tickled while grading their tests. 😊
I have kinfolks from the southern hills of Ohio and all over Kentucky and the deep south of Georgia some of the words I know most did not remember till you gave we the definition. my Great grand ma and grand dad used them words, you bought back memories , i am 71 years young. and i just subscribe to your channel, thank you
Ohhh, I needed this! THANKS 😅😅😅
