Hi everyone from everwhere...WOW what a diverse group, huh. I'm from Southeast Missouri, affectionately known as the Bootheel. Too many sayings to quote; all are well versed in the redneck language. It is a language you know.

Fenway ,from the Irish ghetto in the south of Boston,says hello to all. My favorite prayer, [B]please Lord bless us with no enemies, but for some reason this can't be done, at the least , inflict upon them a limp, so we will know them when they come.........

You must be practically neighbors then with our fearless leader.
Macerca, Central OK right now, originally from northeaster Ok though. It is in the low 40's here. I forgot how cold and dry it was up here. brrrrrr.... but I love it... haven't seen snow in two years... hopefully I will this month
Hi Everyone, I'm from Ashburn in Northern Virginia, but I'm an exiled Scot (been here about 6 years now). Born in Arbroath (I miss ma Smokies...), lived for a while in Aberdeen, then Edinburgh (by far my favourite city) before moving here, now married to an American...
Aye, I seriously miss Scotland... but I find that listening to the music helps me get by...
Lookin' forward to this years Scottish Walk in Alexandria, VA - the day when this wee bit o' NoVA becomes just like Dundee (hehe)...
Seriously tho..
As for sayin's.. mmm a couple that stick in ma' mind...
I used to work in Dundee and the folks I worked with were some of the best people I've ever had the fortune to know... but the thing I remember most was the time when we had a Japanses Student (I worked at Dundee Univ.) and we started to teach him how to speak 'dundee'... so we tried to teach him how to by a "peh" (pie)...
"Gimme Twa Peh's, a plain een and an ingin' enn an 'a" (Give me two pies, a plain one and an onion one as well"
Or...
"Snaas aff, S'reinin" (Snows off, it's raining).
Mind you I've heard from pals back home that theres a new one:
Saskatchewan, Canada here..... I believe we are just North of Montana and North Dakota. My city is the sunshine capitol of Canada. Locals call it the 'Land of Living Skies'.....we do get some beautiful skies and sunsets, but I think it's more attributed to the fact that there is so MUCH sky.......you can see for miles, and miles and miles and miles..........and miles!!
I am from Hickman, Kentucky (no laughs, giggles or snorts, please) . I am about a far west as you can get and not be in the Bootheel of Missouri. Small river town on the Mississippi.
Yes, we are fluent in redneck, as well. I just don't know how to transliterate it into English. I mean, "Y'all-ight," is usually translated into English as "Are you all alright?" but the sense of redneck brotherhood familiarity is lost in translation.
Just my tuppence.

~and it is with this belief and this knowledge that I say...you are not enclosed within your bodies, nor confined to houses or fields. That which is you dwells above the mountain and roves with the wind. It is not a thing that crawls onto the sun for warmth, or digs holes into the darkness for safety...but a thing free that envelops the earth and moves in the ether...~(Kahilil Gibran)
