We southerners are known for our flair for creating new and colorful language but sometimes we also give new meanings to old words. Click here to read a list I wrote for It’s a Southern Thing and see a list of 18 fun words below:
Carry: To transport; ie., “She carried the kids over to Grandma’s house.”
Directly: in a little while; ie., “I’ll get to the repairs directly.”
Lay out: To sunbathe; ie., lie in the sun
Cut: To turn off; ie, “Cut out the lights when you leave.”
Fixin’: About to; ie., “Mama’s fixin’ to make dinner.”
Ugly: Misbehave; ie., “Don’t act ugly.”
Carry on: to act foolish; ie., “Y’all better quit carrying on like that before your daddy comes home.”
Piddle: to waste time; ie., “I’m just piddlin’ around.”
Mess: a person who acts the fool; ie., “He’s a mess.”
Obliged: thank you, as in “I’m much obliged for the loan.”
Reckon: to think or suppose; ie., “I reckon she knows what she’s doing.”
Sorry: of inferior quality, worthless; ie., “Her husband’s just sorry.”
