Seeing all of u sitting around table for this video i see so much favor of Corie and Matt , guess that means Katie too beings they are twins Lordy B i might have these girls mixed up right now didnt come in on beginning of video. Love these sayings..Thanks so much, love your family, helps me relax 😊❤
You say a lot of the same words I grew up hearing and still say. From Eastern Tenn. You make me chuckle when you say you had an "ideal" instead of idea. ♥
Yeah, Tipper, I remember when I got stationed in Britain, how interesting it was to hear that alot of the words they used, my grandparents used!! We use to call the way my grandparents talked, "old English"---I never knew how literal that was!!! ❤
I grew up in SE Kentucky and now live in Tennessee, we grew up using a lot of these sayings, there's one that I still use often, referring to anyplace is , Out Yonder or over Yonder. Enjoyed the video.
Always happy to see you post another video. Especially when it's about language. And this was a good one. I was familiar with alot of these, even if I would say alot of them a little different. I would say sass or back talk before I would say back sass. Green apple trots or running off before I would say back door trots. And I would understand what someone meant by back side outwards, but I would say inside out or maybe wrong side outwards. It's amazing how I listen to videos like this and have to stop and think " now how would I say that"
Hi Tipper, you made me think of a slang term used by old school Italians here in upstate NY. When a Italian asks "were is the bachouse? My father's people were off the boat Italians and used that phrase, it's still used today. It comes from when someone needed to use the bathroom, the old Italians would say in broken english "the housa in the backa". It was of course an outhouse. It evolved over time to become "bac a house". I used it recently myself. Good video.
I literally just laughed out loud!! I’m from Oklahoma and my grandmother used to use the word trots! 😂 She also used the word scours. Her family was from Arkansas and used a lot of the same words as Appalachians. Y’all always remind me of her. ❤️❤️
This was a lot of fun. Back door trots lol 😂 I’ve never heard that one, but I think I will start using it around here and see how many crazy looks & questions I get from it. lol. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻😇👍🏻❤️
I think many of the things you talked about today are very common in other places. At least where my dad came from in Missouri because I remember hearing most of them.
Tipper - I can remember awhile back that you talked about the phrase 'cat fur to make kitten britches ', I have never heard anyone but my mom say that!
Back in college, I was at a private school that had a bedtime check to make sure we were in our rooms by a certain time. It always annoyed my roommate and me, because about the time we would get to sleep, he would come knocking on our door. One night he didn't see me in the room. Later he came back and I was in bed. He asked where I had been. I told him I had been making kitten britches for tomcats. He gave me a hard look for a while and then left without another word. My roommate thought he was going to hit me. I was hiding in the closet the first time he came in, but I never told him that.
We called them outhouses. We still have the same one my grandparents used and my mom and her siblings used. Course it’s about to fall down. My mom is 85 and didn’t get running water in grandmas house until 1966. They were still using it then .
Loved the video and Matt's shirt...too cute. I find myself saying words I am not used to saying and my Hubby looks at me and says...Tipper?...yeppers I am pickin' up some Tipperage...Prayers for Granny and you guys.
My father used alot of those words, but he was raised in Mississippi. His mother said I’ll swaney, and I’ve never heard anyone else but her say that. I think our ancestors settled in N or S Carolina from Scotland, Ireland and France. You remind me of my mother in looks Tipper, who was also raised in Mississippi. Her ancestors were Clarke, Myers, Hemphill. I wish I could show you her picture when she was young.
I'm from NC and I say I swaney. Heard it all my life. One of my son's friends hear me say it one day and he bust out laughing. He said he had never heard that before and I was shocked because his family was raised up pretty much like us. But you don't hear those words much anymore.
I still say I swanee. Mainly because I grew up with a mama that would be ready to wash my mouth out with soap If I ever said I swear. Mama didn't, and still doesn't abide such talking as that😅
I was surprised when I heard the word "sigoggalin'" (not sure how to spell that!). I'd never heard it used before, but when I asked my grandpa if he'd heard it he knew exactly what it meant. That's an example of a word falling out of use. He knew what it meant, but he never used it himself, so it never got passed down to me
I haven't heard "backing an envelope" in 50 years or more. Loved being reminded of my grandfather and of my mother. One of the folks who commented used the phrase "I used to didn't" and that tickled me, too. I still say "I used to didn't - or couldn't - or I used to not like or do" and have been teased unmercifully about it by my Yankee friends. Also I "make" pictures instead of "take" them which also gets me teased. You mentioned piggy-back rides which reminded me of the practice of crossing your legs and letting a little child sit on your foot while you held their hands, swung that foot up and down and sang some little song about riding a horsey. This was done from as soon as a baby could hold its head up and on 'til when it got too heavy to lift. I love these language lessons/memories. Thanks for doing them!
"Back in the days" ..."back yonder" ...I was "taken back" by her story. ..."back track" until I found it. ...the diver did a triple "back flip" ...she was able to cause the aggressor to "back down". ...She loved it in the "back woods". ...Australia has the "out back." ...😊
I studied genetics in school and I told my husband they are identical twins and it’s becoming so obvious lately. So happy for your family and the blessing of the new additions.
Just want to comment not contend. I didn't study genetics but it was obvious to me day one, they are not identical. At first glance, I saw several dissimilarities. Cories taller and thinner build for starters.😊🌿🌸
@@SharonDye-f7o identical twins can be different heights there’s a famous case of identical triplets being split at birth by the Louis Wise Adoption Agency. You could do a quick google search and see they are like stair steps. Not trying to sound rude that’s just the easiest example I can think of
@@SharonDye-f7o Dissimilarities are not that unusual in identical twins. I seem to remember Tipper saying Corie was twin B and Katie was the closest to birth canal. If so Corie had more growing room and identicals do not always share then “food supply” evenly for a number of reasons. All in all my 35 years of OB nursing tells me they are definitely identical twins.
Inside out is the ONLY way to wear socks that have a seam across the toe box! In the mountain west, we have always said "back up in there" or "way up back there".
I attended an auction of a house and some furnishings that was part of a divorce settlement. A sign on the wall in the bathroom said "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie". I don't know if not obeying that sign was cause for the divorce or not! I wish I had had cash to buy that house and 3 acres. In the early 80s it went for 28K. A 2 story concrete block house in good shape. Would have been really nice if covered with brick. Only one man in attendance had the cash to buy it.
😊 One place I worked got a new employee and a lady who'd been there for a long time put up a sign like that in the bathroom to instruct the new employee 😊
I love history. Always did. This is a wonderful book that you have. I had a big history book of the little town I was raised up in , back in Tn. I gave it to my nephew because I am to old and he is a young man. This video is really interesting, I enjoyed it. I think there’s a Mill creek in every state. When I lived in Alabama my neighbor would say he was going to carry his wife to the grocery store. I had never heard that one before. I have heard Tipper say she was going to carry grannie to the Dr. God bless, love you all. ❤
My late brother-in-law, who would be 80some now, was raised in Tennessee, moving to Michigan in the early 70s. He always used carry or carried when referencing driving a person somewhere.
The first time I visited my husband’s family in Tennessee, we went to a church service at his Grandpa’s church. At the end of the service everyone went downstairs to the fellowship hall they were having a meal. The pastor asked one of the men, “brother, would you turn thanks for us” I had know idea what he was talking about. Turn was being used instead of “say” . I don’t know if you have ever heard it used this way?
A lot of us drink that daily. Got to be sure to use the real apple cider vinegar with the mother in it. That fake vinegar is AWFUL! I premix my ACV with some honey, maybe 65/35.
It's reminiscent of older family members who spoke in a manner akin to the language passed down through generations of our ancestors from the Appalachian region. It's intriguing to observe how language can traverse vast distances and endure through time, persisting in the speech of future generations.
about backside outwards: One morning I got up and put on my usual t-shirt with button down shirt as a jacket and went downtown to visit a friend's shop. I walked in and she looks up and says, "Is that a new fashion trend?" I naturally asked her what she meant, and she pointed to the top of her breastbone. I pulled the top of the t-shirt out to look at it, ad there was the tag, right in front, bright white against the dark blue of the shirt. I'd put the t-shirt on not just inside out/backside outwards, but backwards/front side in back! "Well! I wondered why everyone was looking at me funny on the bus!"
One of my grandpas was from Bourbon Co. Missouri. He spoke "odd" to use kids when we were little. Later it was just the way Gpa talked. It didn't seem different to us at all by the time we were older. :-)
Happy Valentine’s Day! I really love when you talk of the language and so much of it sounds like the dinner table when I was growing up! My good friend gave me the book you are using for Christmas a couple of years ago. ❤
I moved to Connecticut in the 70’s. I was early for an appointment to see an apartment for rent. The apartment manager suggested I go down to the four corners and get a grinder. I had no idea what she wanted me to do, so I went down the street and got a sandwich while I waited!
The discussion of the "back door trots" reminded me that there's a band from Seattle called Green Apple Quick Step. When I was growing up, there was a Stetson family across the street, but I don't know how closely they were related to John B.
Awe I love your REALNESS. My hubby loves to chew gum, smack and blow bubbles on occasion. Guess it gets on my nerves cause I can't but used to could. 😂 So much of your language I'm familiar with but a few of those tonight I'm not. I see how relaxed you and Matt are compared to last year. That's a good thing. Katie and Cori will be wonderful moms. I hope granny is feeling alright. I do have symptoms they say they can't fix. God controls my time and I'm ok. I enjoyed our visit. Patti
I'm from Appalachia, but currently live in Maryland!!! I'm thinking one of the reasons you've heard these words in Maryland, is because, no 1, western Maryland (say, Oakland) is just down the street, from West Virginia; and, no. 2, it seems half of everybody in Baltimore, came from North Carolina (now, there's alot of people from NY). ❤
I worked right at 21 years in the drilling industry. Mostly environmental and geotechnical type work. We always referred to a new guy as a greenhorn. It was so much fun to be around them😂. Hard work around them rigs but good times especially around the greenhorns. God probably recorded my mischievousness from them days, JK. One day behind an air rig, we had 2 different kinds of ear plugs, one was yellow and the other was green. Extremely loud and dusty behind that rig. I told the new guy where to look, and when he came back to the rig, he has done what I told him. He had put the yellow plugs in his ears, he done what I told him to put the green NOSE PLUGS up his nose LOL. You could barely see the green sticking out the bottom of his nose LOL. I still laugh about that kind of stuff. 😁
I grew up in northern IL and my mom's parents did as well. My dad's parents were from not that much north of us. But y'all say things I remember my mom's parents saying and different accents with it. I keep wondering about that. My dad's parents were a lot more German in their taste. Strange how they lived so close, but talked differently. God bless!
Love the dictionary viedos. Don't know where this came from. " did you get a kitchen pass?" or " you must have gotten a kitchen pass" is to be out by yourself with your friends with permission from your wife. Anyone else ever hear thst?
I’ve always thought Corrie looked like her dad. This very just confirmed it, as they were both together and chewing gum. Of course, both girls look like both of you, but corrie just always has reminded me of her dad. Praying for granny. I really enjoy your videos !
I never heard “back cussing” someone, but I bet people probably used it. I grew up in eastern Kentucky. I never heard “back” used to dare someone to do something though. When we would put on our clothes backwards, my granny would say we had it on “hind part before.” Now here’s one you may have heard. I had family who would use the term “blackguarding” for cursing. I’ve never heard that one anywhere else though.
Enjoyed the video. I remember my second grade teacher had a hickory T ( just having it in plain sight was enough to keep us in line). Also , Instead of piggy back we kids would sit on my dad's foot and hold onto his leg and he would drag us around the yard. I sure miss him😢❤❤
I heard "baching" when the wife was gone and the man was baching while she was gone. I love these when you talk about how the words were used. I love recalling ways of speaking from my growing up years. Now that we live in SC, some of the phrases and words aren't used here and I miss them. BTW, did you know that our friend, Donnie Laws, has been in the hospital? He's out now, after surgery, but still recovering. Just wanted you to be aware so y'all could put him on your prayer list. Still praying for all y'all, Granny, Paul, and the littles. Much love from SC, Jane ❤🙏 Thanks for your diligent work, Tipper!
I remember hickory t. Grandma and Mom both threatened us with hickory t when we misbehaved. Also, called it a keen hickory switch. Us girls got it plenty. 😆. Matter of fact, I introduced my toddler twin grandsons to hickory t. It was actually the fly swatter. The boys would point to the flyswatter and say “t”. 😆 I would fan their little hiney’s when they needed it. Which wasn’t often.
Being the only girl in a house full of guys, I can truly relate to “potty” humor. I was raised in a pretty strait-laced family. We did not have bathroom humor. So…I had to adjust to 3 teenage boys and a husband who had no filter. I laughed out loud when y’all were sharing that. Thanks for the memories and the laughter. 😂❤
Great video yep went to Montana in my younger years and the locals told me you must be from the south i said yep from the mountains of GA they said they loved the way i said my words and i said thank y'all of course they laughed i guess where your raised is how you talk and to me that's a good thing thanks for sharing have a great day and God Bless y'all Always 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My mother-in-law raised in the Piedmont of NC asked me to “back her envelope” because she liked my handwriting better than hers! She used that phrase as I would more say, address the envelope.

I’ve heard some of them sayings. Y’all are such fun to listen to and watch. Thanks for sharing with us!
You say a lot of the same words I grew up hearing and still say. From Eastern Tenn. You make me chuckle when you say you had an "ideal" instead of idea. ♥
Yeah, Tipper, I remember when I got stationed in Britain, how interesting it was to hear that alot of the words they used, my grandparents used!! We use to call the way my grandparents talked, "old English"---I never knew how literal that was!!! ❤
My Grandma from Kentucky called her underwear step ins....lol
Enjoyed as always. Thank you for your prayers. I got to come home from the hospital today I’m so thankful.
Yay! I'm so glad you are home. I will continue to pray for you Loretta!!
I grew up in SE Kentucky and now live in Tennessee, we grew up using a lot of these sayings, there's one that I still use often, referring to anyplace is , Out Yonder or over Yonder. Enjoyed the video.
Y'all are so funny. This was a hoot! Have a blessed weekend ♥
that was such an enjoyable time spent with you all wonderful people. Thank for the fun

Always happy to see you post another video. Especially when it's about language. And this was a good one. I was familiar with alot of these, even if I would say alot of them a little different.

Hi Tipper, you made me think of a slang term used by old school Italians here in upstate NY. When a Italian asks "were is the bachouse? My father's people were off the boat Italians and used that phrase, it's still used today. It comes from when someone needed to use the bathroom, the old Italians would say in broken english "the housa in the backa". It was of course an outhouse. It evolved over time to become "bac a house". I used it recently myself. Good video.
Thank you for sharing that usage 😊 Glad you enjoyed this one 😊
I literally just laughed out loud!! I’m from Oklahoma and my grandmother used to use the word trots! 😂 She also used the word scours. Her family was from Arkansas and used a lot of the same words as Appalachians. Y’all always remind me of her. ❤️❤️
Isn't scours something that affects calves causing diarrhea?
This was a lot of fun.
Back door trots lol 😂 I’ve never heard that one, but I think I will start using it around here and see how many crazy looks & questions I get from it. lol.
Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻😇👍🏻❤️
😀 I bet you'll get some looks LOL! Thank you for watching!
I grew up in AZ we called diarrhea Rocky Mountain quick step. Enjoyed thanks
In Ulster backings referred to the process of converting flax to linen, it then progressed onto the production of moonshine.

My granny would say, “Just look at me….I put my sweater on hind part before”……❤

My husband's great grandfather refused to get an indoor toilet. He said "God never meant for a man to eat and sh*t under the same roof." LOL
The trots are also called the green apple quick step.
😂quick steps a good 👍 one ☝️
My dad would call it the back door trots...lol
😊
I like that, ”We tease because we care!”
Loved the video and Matt's shirt...too cute. I find myself saying words I am not used to saying and my Hubby looks at me and says...Tipper?...yeppers I am pickin' up some Tipperage...Prayers for Granny and you guys.
Love that! 😊 Thank you!
Happy Valentine's Day
My Mom had a way with words. She would never use profanity, but she would say Tipper’s clothes were “Bass-ackwards.”🤣😂
I'm from the hills of eastern West Virginia. We still use that term, and sometimes, with a slight variation.😂
@@MtnMan62 Gotcha!🤭
Yeah, I've heard that---and also "back-asswards"!!

I studied genetics in school and I told my husband they are identical twins and it’s becoming so obvious lately. So happy for your family and the blessing of the new additions.
Just want to comment not contend. I didn't study genetics but it was obvious to me day one, they are not identical.
At first glance, I saw several dissimilarities.
Cories taller and thinner build for starters.😊🌿🌸

Thank you so much!!

Thank you 😊
I love history. Always did. This is a wonderful book that you have. I had a big history book of the little town I was raised up in , back in Tn. I gave it to my nephew because I am to old and he is a young man. This video is really interesting, I enjoyed it. I think there’s a Mill creek in every state.

You guys are hilarious. Fun to watch the interaction between you! Interesting words.
Thanks for sharing Tipper!!!
Backsassing, I know that one. My Mom always told me that. I told my son that too. Your family is fun.
I have heard bachin here in KS all my life and I am Matt's age..When Debra is outof town to go see one of her sisters..folks tell me I am bachin!
An old recipe my mom had for the Crappers is 1 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar 8oz warm water . IT Does work! We also Called it Runs
A lot of us drink that daily. Got to be sure to use the real apple cider vinegar with the mother in it. That fake vinegar is AWFUL! I premix my ACV with some honey, maybe 65/35.
Good evening, to the Pressley folk. Where can I get a tee shirt like Matt is wearing?
I lived lots of places as a child where we only had a privy. We literally had to run out the back door when we had the “green apple two-step!”
Please pray for my husband and I. We have a situation going on. We just need it gone. 🙏
I will pray for you! Thank you for watching 😊
I’ve heard “little brown shack out back.”

My mama and my grandma used “backed an envelope,” was addressing the envelope.

Seattle kin ❤
I'm from the Ozarks and I always know exactly what you're saying. Same Scots-irish heritage 😂
One of my grandpas was from Bourbon Co. Missouri. He spoke "odd" to use kids when we were little. Later it was just the way Gpa talked. It didn't seem different to us at all by the time we were older. :-)
Happy Valentine’s Day! I really love when you talk of the language and so much of it sounds like the dinner table when I was growing up! My good friend gave me the book you are using for Christmas a couple of years ago. ❤
I moved to Connecticut in the 70’s. I was early for an appointment to see an apartment for rent. The apartment manager suggested I go down to the four corners and get a grinder. I had no idea what she wanted me to do, so I went down the street and got a sandwich while I waited!
😊
the back door trots 😂
thats great
The discussion of the "back door trots" reminded me that there's a band from Seattle called Green Apple Quick Step. When I was growing up, there was a Stetson family across the street, but I don't know how closely they were related to John B.
I hear the expression "back in the day" to explain how things were long ago. Used alot in the area where I live.
Awe I love your REALNESS. My hubby loves to chew gum, smack and blow bubbles on occasion. Guess it gets on my nerves cause I can't but used to could. 😂 So much of your language I'm familiar with but a few of those tonight I'm not. I see how relaxed you and Matt are compared to last year. That's a good thing. Katie and Cori will be wonderful moms. I hope granny is feeling alright. I do have symptoms they say they can't fix. God controls my time and I'm ok. I enjoyed our visit. Patti
My husband says "used to could." He also says 'used to was.' I love it!
Thank you Patti!! I am still praying for you!!
Happy Valentines Day!!! God Bless Us All!!!
We use a few here in Maryland, my relatives in VA use more. Thank you Tipper, Matt and Corie.
Yay, a Marylander here too, with relatives in VA!!🙋♀️
I'm from Appalachia, but currently live in Maryland!!!
I'm thinking one of the reasons you've heard these words in Maryland, is because, no 1, western Maryland (say, Oakland) is just down the street, from West Virginia; and, no. 2, it seems half of everybody in Baltimore, came from North Carolina (now, there's alot of people from NY). ❤
I worked right at 21 years in the drilling industry. Mostly environmental and geotechnical type work. We always referred to a new guy as a greenhorn. It was so much fun to be around them😂. Hard work around them rigs but good times especially around the greenhorns. God probably recorded my mischievousness from them days, JK. One day behind an air rig, we had 2 different kinds of ear plugs, one was yellow and the other was green. Extremely loud and dusty behind that rig. I told the new guy where to look, and when he came back to the rig, he has done what I told him. He had put the yellow plugs in his ears, he done what I told him to put the green NOSE PLUGS up his nose LOL. You could barely see the green sticking out the bottom of his nose LOL. I still laugh about that kind of stuff. 😁
I grew up in northern IL and my mom's parents did as well. My dad's parents were from not that much north of us. But y'all say things I remember my mom's parents saying and different accents with it. I keep wondering about that. My dad's parents were a lot more German in their taste. Strange how they lived so close, but talked differently. God bless!
Love the dictionary viedos.
Don't know where this came from. " did you get a kitchen pass?" or " you must have gotten a kitchen pass" is to be out by yourself with your friends with permission from your wife. Anyone else ever hear thst?
I used to dip Copenhagen in class and swallow the juice 🤢😂😂
If you have never watched Signs Cures and Witchery , its on youtube , just chock full of old appalachian sayings and stories!
I bought that on VHS tape before we had yutube. It is a good one.
I’ve always thought Corrie looked like her dad. This very just confirmed it, as they were both together and chewing gum. Of course, both girls look like both of you, but corrie just always has reminded me of her dad.
Praying for granny.
I really enjoy your videos !
Thank you 😊
God bless you Tipper, God bless Granny with healing and health in Jesus name
At third grade camp, someone wrote on the outhouses "Aunt Latrine" and "Uncle John."
😊
😢i used to give my grandkids horsy rides. On my knee
We say wrong side out also.
God Bless your family. It sure is beautiful to see your culture ♥️✝️💕
Culture is the backbone of a great family, community and country ❤🌹🎖️🇺🇸
I never heard “back cussing” someone, but I bet people probably used it. I grew up in eastern Kentucky. I never heard “back” used to dare someone to do something though. When we would put on our clothes backwards, my granny would say we had it on “hind part before.” Now here’s one you may have heard. I had family who would use the term “blackguarding” for cursing. I’ve never heard that one anywhere else though.
blackguard was used in the Ozarks as a reference to obscene language.
Thank you! I've only read that usage but never heard it 😊
Enjoyed the video. I remember my second grade teacher had a hickory T ( just having it in plain sight was enough to keep us in line). Also , Instead of piggy back we kids would sit on my dad's foot and hold onto his leg and he would drag us around the yard. I sure miss him😢❤❤
Love those memories of your daddy!!
Thanks! ❤
I love how Matt's left arm keeps time to his own clock and if it shirks its duties the right one takes over.🤣❤️👋🏼
Y’all are just fun to listen to. ❤ Table looks perfect to me, well used.
Where I am from we say, Suwanee all the time all the time
I heard "baching" when the wife was gone and the man was baching while she was gone. I love these when you talk about how the words were used. I love recalling ways of speaking from my growing up years. Now that we live in SC, some of the phrases and words aren't used here and I miss them. BTW, did you know that our friend, Donnie Laws, has been in the hospital? He's out now, after surgery, but still recovering. Just wanted you to be aware so y'all could put him on your prayer list. Still praying for all y'all, Granny, Paul, and the littles. Much love from SC, Jane ❤🙏 Thanks for your diligent work, Tipper!
Enjoyed the conversation 😎👍
Thanks guys
That word back of mentioned Civil War there is a Petersburg VA and this is probably what they ment
I remember “Don’t you sass me little lady!”
I remember hickory t. Grandma and Mom both threatened us with hickory t when we misbehaved. Also, called it a keen hickory switch. Us girls got it plenty. 😆. Matter of fact, I introduced my toddler twin grandsons to hickory t. It was actually the fly swatter. The boys would point to the flyswatter and say “t”. 😆 I would fan their little hiney’s when they needed it. Which wasn’t often.
Being the only girl in a house full of guys, I can truly relate to “potty” humor. I was raised in a pretty strait-laced family. We did not have bathroom humor. So…I had to adjust to 3 teenage boys and a husband who had no filter. I laughed out loud when y’all were sharing that. Thanks for the memories and the laughter. 😂❤
Great video yep went to Montana in my younger years and the locals told me you must be from the south i said yep from the mountains of GA they said they loved the way i said my words and i said thank y'all of course they laughed i guess where your raised is how you talk and to me that's a good thing thanks for sharing have a great day and God Bless y'all Always 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed this one 😊
Tipper, those two were teasing you so much about your sweater I thought they was fixin' to gang you out! 😁
😊
My mother-in-law raised in the Piedmont of NC asked me to “back her envelope” because she liked my handwriting better than hers! She used that phrase as I would more say, address the envelope.
I love that.🌸
Happy Valentine’s Day ❤😊
