Mike Goodwin has explained the hilarious words that southerners totally made up. The funnyman dropped some knowledge and let others in on the words that people in the South have made up, and demonstrated how those new words work. Watch the short but hysterical clip to learn about some words that you may not have been aware of yet.
The United States of America is a vast country, stretching from the Atlantic on the east to the Pacific on the West. In between are many different landscapes, topographies and cultures. If you prefer warm, muggy weather, there are regions of the country for you. However, if you, for whatever reason, are a cold-weather person and would enjoy experiencing those conditions for the majority of the year, several states in the country would meet that criterion.
Now, because the United States is so large, not everyone sounds and talks the same. For instance, an individual from San Antonio, Texas, and one from Boston, Massachusetts, will sound dramatically different from one another. Those two people will even have different words and phrases used to describe the same thing. In some cases, regions may even create their own words.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Mike mentioned some of the words people from the South have coined. He then, in hilarious fashion, demonstrated how these words are used in a conversation, which he knows full well from his childhood.
One thing about southerners, we have the unique ability to just make up words, he said. We say words like finto and fixin. Whathadhappenedwas, thats one word right there. Thats one word.
Later in the clip, he shared his favorite made-up word used by southerners, one that he had heard his mother use frequently growing up.
Its five syllables, one word: whatchanotgonedo, he said. My mother said that my entire life. My mother said stuff like, Whatchanotgonedo is keep running in and out of this house. Thats whatchanotgonedo. Whatchanotgonedo is stand in front of that refrigerator and hold that door open, little boy.
Ephesians 4:29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.
