- In this video I'm giving the girls a test on Appalachian language! I feature a vocabulary test every month on my blog Blind Pig and The Acorn. I thought it would be fun to test the girls' knowledge of Appalachian language in a video. Hope you enjoy! We have several other test videos, be sure to check them out.

Although I dont live anywhere near Appalachia your channel shows me how much I appreciate and value the wonderful culture in Appalachia. Im growing to love Appalachia, for that I thank you so so much.
You are so kind-thank you 😀
I do like these quizzes. I tell you though, I'd like to see Matt and Austin take a quiz like Katie and Corey do.
yes!! That would be fun!
😀
I'm mighty afraid that Austin couldn't stand a chance
What a brilliant idea or, ideal!!! 💙
It would be fun to watch the men in the family including Katie's boyfriend.
My mother grew up in southern Alabama and used most all of these expressions. Love hearing them and I find myself using them also.
My mom grew up in Alabama too,and spoke exactly like this! I assumed she learned it from my Kentuckian daddy,but based on your comment,maybe not!!
Nose itchy means your fixing to kiss a fool.😄Give them more tests. I love this. It brings me back to some dear older Native Floridians that had sayings like this. Used to hear them when I was a little girl. Wonderful memories. Most of those folks have to Glory a long time ago.💕
😀
Nose itches someone is comin with a hole in their britches
In central Va, if your nose itches, you’re going to have a fight or kiss a fool.
@@lesliejordan479 😀 I should have remembered that! Thank you 😀
I have used a few of these words and phrases and still do! Katie & Corie are so funny together…Katie is a trip! Thanks for sharing! God bless and love to all! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Love the vocabulary tests. Corrie and Katie are so funny. 💕
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Katie and Corie are a Hoot and a Holler. I loved this
So funny!! I remember when I was first working as a pediatric nurse in NC. A Mom came and said their child was feeling “puny”. 🧐. I had NO CLUE what she meant. I guess I looked puzzled and so she thought she was clarifying by saying “You know, punk” 😳
I eventually realized she meant her child wasn’t feeling well! 😂 I learned quite a few southern sayings and home remedies. ( sweet acidophilus milk)
😀
My grandmother and one of my cousins, both from southern Indiana, used those terms often.
I’ve learned most of these since moving to N Georgia. But I’ve also run into people that have a version of English dialect that I struggle to understand. My favorite has been “ that’s your pond, you fish it “ that’s when someone doesn’t want to help you out in any way.
We say “waylay/waylaid”, meaning held up or delayed. My grandmother always used to warn us about plundering through her stuff (she didn’t want us looking through the drawers in her house) pilfering is another word for it, too. This was a great quiz. Thanks ladies for making this so fun!❤🙏🏻 from SC, Jane
I have heard people say plunder as a term for items that belong to you, as in I need to gather up my plunder (things). I really enjoy these posts.
Thank you Jane!!
I was born and raised in East TN Appalachia. I’m familiar with most of those phrases. The ones I hadn’t heard of were “Agin dark” and “teachous”.
I'm a Cali girl but I did great! Helped that my parents used these words and phrases, a lot of them i use myself. That was fun, TY ladies!🥰
Love that 😀
I ALWAYS get a kick out of these vocabulary test!,😊👍 And being from Appalachia, it's fun to see how many I know.
Thank you Ramona 😀
I came up learning gee and haw as what you said to a team or mules or horses to tell them which way to turn. "I just don't geehaw with them" makes perfect sense, but this is new to me. Thank you. Your language content is always very gratifying to me.
Thank you Bill 😀
Thank you, when I heard that I was thinking it had to do with plowing and donkeys but I couldn't remember exactly what.
This was so much fun, I understood all but "Again Dark". Katie and Corrie had me laughing right along with them!
Agin dark- up against dark, almost dark. It's comin' up agin dark time.
Why isn't this channel at 1 million? This family and their lives are not only educational but decent and soothing. Nothing on TV or the theaters is worth a dime. Praying for a million subscribers 🙏 ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡
You are so kind Dee-thank you 😀
ditto! Just found the channel today, which surprises me because I follow several WV channels. Live in Iowa now, and a buddy from home lives close and still has every bit of his accent! People that know us always ask why I don't tawk like that :)
@@DougRowan_photography Welcome! And thank you 😀
Hear hear!!! 💯
Some of the things y'all say are used here in Louisiana also. Very neat how sayings transfer from state to state
Love that! Thank you for watching 😀
Momma grew up in Chattanooga & Daddy in Georgia… I heard so much many of these growing up. Still do when I go back to GA… love when you do these. 💖💖💖💖
Keep doing this ! I really enjoy it. I still hear and use most of the words you mentioned. Years ago, my little niece apparently recognized something I had borrowed from her dad, so she asked me, " Who's is that "? I told her, "It's yournzis ". She looked at me and asked, "Who is Yournzis "? I kinda laughed and told her, " It belongs to you, your brothers and sister, and your mom and dad ." She said,' Oh ! okay. " Then, after a few seconds, she asked, " But who is Yournzis ?" I guess she thought there was someone in our family named Yournzis that she had never met 😆
😄😄😄
My mom's family in rural central PA say "yuns" like "yuns going swimming too?" Or "get yuns a creamscicle"
@Franchesca Wetter I also say " yuns" . I pass all of Tippers Appalachian Tests because it's the way I talk 🙂
😀 Love that story
I love these! So many I have heard all of my life. Mom used to say don't be clumin around. I can't find a description but it was don't be doing stuff that may make you fall. Usually meant for someone older or less sure footed. Waylay was to stop someone when they were busy or to rob someone. Layway was a narrow path or trail. Gosh there's so many we still use that we don't even think about. Love watching those girls, they are so alike yet different. Always fun "visiting" you precious folks. Stay safe and GOD bless
I love these little vocabulary/phrase tests! A saying that I heard a lot from my Mother when I was a child, was “messin and gommin” which meant “I just got that kitchen cleaned up so don’t go in there “a messin and a gommin” things up!”
This priceless to me. Learning first hand from my favorite family words of Appalachia customs and the gardening ways. Love u Pressly family u all give me hours of joy watching your videos getting to know each of you. Feeling like my family for sure!! Keep these videos coming please.
Wow, thank you 😀
This was fun!! Katie & Corie did great!! I enjoy these vocabulary tests....some I know and some I don't!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you all for sharing this fun time with us! I didn't grow up with many besides my Daddy. I live in rural central NH and it's really nice to know that even though I wasn't instructed in any way of the "appalachian language", I still know most, only missing a couple. My Daddy, working 12 hours a day and raising 3 girls, on his own, each 4 years apart, with God's gracious help, he still never strayed from his roots in the NH white mountains. He taught me the old appalachian language without even trying. Miss that man. They sure don't make em' like they used to! Lost my Daddy in 2013. Miss him more everyday. We appalachian trail folks gotta stick together. North, or south... We're family. I love y'all! All my love and prayers for you and yours, always 💙
Thank you!! I miss Pap like that too 😀 Glad we both had good daddies!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia Me too! 💙
I grew up in South Florida in the 50's I learned a lot of talk from my best friends mom, Dot who was from Alabama. She was the sweetest southern lady. Down there I have only met such women like her infrequently, my best friend Sharley, they both are passed now, I remember them so lovingly. I love your videos on all your channels. If I world be younger, I would move up your way. Get away from most of the crazy world. Take care, ♥️👩🦳🌺 Matt, Corie and Katie and you Tipper are so precious, I am still learning how to do a lot more in my life thanks to you all. ♥️♥️
Thank you for the kind words!! We appreciate you 😀 I'm so sorry you lost them they sound just great!
I am in Northwest Georgia and I grew up hearing all of those words. It's funny that when my children were in school they would correct me or my parents when we would use certain words. I think they were doing it in a respectful way but I wish I had sat them down and told them to embrace the language and not to try to do away with it. It's always fun when the girls do these videos.
My grandma would always say “ I’d be so proud of that, I’d put that on the fire board.” I still say that. 🥰
😀
Katie is so funny! Always makes me laugh even on a bad day 🤪
😀
Corey's not feeling good🤧
I 🙏you feel better soon.🙂
I had a friend/classmate that said salat!! 🙂
@@CelebratingAppalachia i never even thought about it, now just said it about dozen times
Sali(no d nor t)
@@mamamode1312 😀
I love her fire too!🙂💗
Loved the testing. As usual, Katie and Corie cracked me up. They can sure brighten your day! Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞🦩😎
Thanks so much!
I knew almost all of them. Here is one to add to gee haw...
The universal mule language is "Gee" for a right turn and "Haw" for a left turn. I remember my Papaw driving his team of red mules, Matt and Bell. He farmed with them until 1967.
Thank you Sondra 😀
It your team of horses or mules were not working together then they might be Gee Hawing.
I knew all of them except fire board for a mantel. I have never heard that one. It was fun watching the girls. Thank you all for the laughs.
I love these vocabulary tests so much. I’ve started saying “running go” instead of “running start” because I like it better. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has picked up some new sayings from your content 😂
Love that! 😀
Funny how I recognized most all these words from my Grandparents on both sides LOL This was fun!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Hauling the mail is a new one to me! I love it. 😊
I really enjoy these! Language is about all I have to remind me of my family heritage. I don’t know when they left Appalachia but they brought their lingo with them, lol!
So glad you enjoy them 😀
It's the vertical backyard that works for me.
I lived up and down I-81 for a spell, back in my home state of Florida now. This takes me back. Thank you for posting!
We always used to say smack dab instead of slap dab. This is such a needed piece of history. I’m glad you’re preserving this for future generations!
Your family is so beautiful. I love how the girls embrace their roots and educate our younger generation.
I like the tests a lot. I love watching the girls looks and hearing their answers. I understood 90% of the questions.
I have never lived there but in the Midwest, my family used many many of these same expressions and words.
Love these tests. Katie and Corie are so funny. Love the humor
I love these vocabulary tests with your daughters, my family are all from Oklahoma and Texas but i grew up hearing all these
Thank you so much for the memories
Rick B
I enjoyed watching, brings back memories and I still say some of the sayings.
Plunder can also be used as a noun. "Katie can't find her rocks for all the plunder on her workbench."
The girls were confusing "fall up" with "fall out." "Fall up" means to faint, collapse
"I think that also might be sinus problems" 🤣 I learned a new one! "I don't care to" was a new one for me -- I've only ever heard it as a negative.
Love these vocabulary test, please continue them
Love hearing you and all these wonderful sayings. Some I heard. some not. Enjoyed this. Keep em coming.
Have you heard of the word "skookumchuck" in Appalachia? I heard it a lot as a child, but not as much now. Thanks for an entertaining and informative video, ladies. 💜
I don't think I've herd that one-thank you for sharing it!! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
I Love watching them take test, the way y'all interact with each other is so cool. Plus I've heard some of these words.
I like hearing these. It makes me recall words and phrases I have forgotten that my parents and grandparents used.
I'm so happy y'all posted this. It reminded me to order The Presley Girls CD!!!!
Your girls are a hoot! What a fun video! ❤
I love mornings with you gals !! I love learning this stuff.
So glad!
I remember some of them words, but learned a lot more new ones. This was fun! Y’all are a hoot! 😂 Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed!
Love the vocabulary test. Great video Tipper keep them coming.
These never last long enough! Thank you!
Love this interaction with your daughters!😊🇨🇦
I love this! I'm reminded of things my Mama used to say
That was so fun. Enjoyed learning new phrases.
This has been so fun!
I enjoy these videos, thank you Tipper. I know a few of the phrases and it's fun learning the rest.
Thank you Robin 😀
More of these videos, please! I knew a lot of the words and phrases both from my life generally and watching your channel specifically, but don't recall hearing "hauling the mail" before.
What fun. Thanks for posting! ☮️❤️🐾
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the vocabulary, too. I've heard or used several of these.
This was so much fun !!
I have to admit I failed at some of these 😂but yes Corie and Katie need to take more tests they are so funny.
Great video! Great FUN. I knew a bunch of them 🧐
A vocabulary quiz of the girls was one of the very first videos of yours I watched. And they were so funny in it, I was hooked. So I loved this just as much as that first one I saw. The girls are always so funny when they're bouncing things off one another.
Thank you Kim 😀
The first Celebrating Appalachia video that I ever watched was an Appalachian vocabulary test that you did maybe 1.5 - 2 years ago. Then I went down the Celebrating Appalachia rabbit hole and the rest is history!
😀 We appreciate you!
That was fun... and I actually knew most of them 😲 Thanks ladies 😎👍
Majority of the early settlers there were of Scots-Irish descent. The Irish were mostly Protestants while those up North were heavily Catholic. Lot of those words and saying came down from them. This is also true with both their music and dance. They are some of the best folks you will ever meet! If you have not visited the area, I would recommend, that y'all spend some time there. Greetings from Georgia.
Gee Haw were directions given to horses or mules for turning right or left so if you gee haw it means that you can work together as a team and pull together and turn in harmony.
Wow, I would understand “I don’t care to do that” as I don’t wish to or don’t want to do that. “Sure, I don’t mind doing that” would be my response to Granny’s request to bring something to her house.
😀 Thank you for watching!
I'm going to use Matt's description of a Housewife - " A dough beater ." So quaint.
I've heard most of these words and phrases from both sets of my grandparents. It was fun to listen to you guys.
I like to guess the meaning and I like watching the gals figure it out. It's a fun way to learn about the culture.
Yesssss!!! I've been waiting on another one of these TEST VIDEOS!🤣😊👏🏼👍🏼
Yay! Thank you!
I love dough beater.i am enjoying the language series as a bilingual person I find it very.informative and amusing at the same time the.girls are so sweet and funny
Thanks
Always enjoy these. I knew and use most all of these.
So glad you enjoyed it!
👍that was fun. Thanks.
I knew most of those. I surprised myself. Lol. Love you guys!
Fun! I participated, enjoying the humor too!
Loved it! Knowed em all!
I always enjoy these! I knew them all and use quite a few of them regularly! Y'all are awesome! Oh , we did get a little snow tipper , like you said we probably would up here in Watauga. Around 3 inches at my place outside of boone. But , I'll tell ya , this cold hurts after it's been so warm for a month. Especially that cold wind...I'm ready for planting! Appreciate y'all...God bless...🙏❤️
I knew you would 😀 Thank you Ben and stay warm 😀
These two make this so enjoyable!..My parents, from the south used a lot of these terms...Fun!..Thanks😅👍
I enjoyed that very much!!! The mantel one was the only one I couldn't figure out!!! Very interesting!!! God Bless!!!
I will always remember how my mother and uncle would easily fall back into a lingo that took me a minute to grasp. He said I’m a fitten to go visit mamer. Mamer? Fitten? Not ever heard in the house till he came around. Thanks for sharing, very interesting!
A lot of southern people use these words. If you ponder about it many people came from North or South Carolina through the mountains further south. The settlers had to take their time in wagons or horses and stopped many places in the mountains due to hard terrain.
Tipper, your yungons have plum lost their minds!! So fun to watch! Please do these more often!!
😊
Gotta love Katies sweatshirt, and her humor.
Katie is plum hilarious. Hauling the mail 😂
I was thinking about my Grandmother last night, when we would come in the door she would always say 'Hidy" and they had no "Idee" what happened. Love this. I love doing these with y'all.
(Mind .... "Never mind that car" ... We use it in place of don't pay any attention.. or "never you mind" as in mind your own business." I don't care if I do" , would be it doesn't matter or I don't want to
Love that 😀
When someone would pick on me or say something that bothered me, my mama used to tell me "don't pay them any more mind than the wind a blowing".
I'm from eastern North Carolina, and would go to "Down East" (Carteret County, NC, not up in Maine), with my mama to visit her family. They had Hoi Toider (High Tider) accents and one of their expressions was mommick, mommicked or mommicking. If you were pestering someone or something, you'd hear them say "stop mommicking me, or stop mommicking the cat or the dog!", or "if I ain't been mommicked this day!". It means you've been through some mighty rough times or trials and tribulations or been aggravated beyond all measure.
"I'm Fitten to be tied." when we drove Mama nuts.
👏👏I was thinking it was time for another one of these💛💛. Maybe do an old one again to see if it stuck😅 so fun
I still use words and phrases I learned from my grandparents on their farm each summer.
So much fun ❤
Love a Vocab lesson!!
Wonderful!
Love yall❤
