Cultural Quirks About Your Home Area

It comes out almost like "peee-yants"

 

Could you give some examples? I've lived here my whole life so the way I talk and the way my friends talk and the words we use are all I know.

 

Some people around here pronounce it "paints" lol. god I hate southern accents. Unless you're like 80 years old or older, old school southern accents are the best

 

?

 

I don't notice any diversity of accents in the western states at all. Unless maybe you've come here from another part of the world. Seems to me that from here I'll have to travel as far east as Texas or Minnesota before I notice a change in accent and regional dialect.

 

Where I grew up in Iowa, it was customary to drench ketchup on your prime ribs and sirloin steak.

 

We dont even have a Culture Here ! Just wannabee Scousers La and Druggies

 

My town now is mostly known for its production of traditional violins. It is a tourist town too especially in winter as in the Alps and ose to snowfields so all winter activities but also very common for cyclists as the high altitude and the Alps offer good road and off road biking.

 

We use words like Wicked and Pissa


Hotwater

 

whadya say when ya gotta take a wicked piss maaate

 

People here just seem more friendly. People from the East Coast talk like the objective is to get the conversation over with as soon as possible. "ISawThatMovieItWasSoCool."

People here talk like the objective is to actually talk to you...and tell a story. "I saw that movie. It was soooooooooo cool!!"

 

As someone who wears loose pants it's just more comfortable. Some of us need room for the "boys" to breath. I've heard it all my favorite being that it comes from prison and I am saying am the bitch or that the pants are meant to hide guns. Lol no not true at all it comes from poor areas where mothers could only buy so many cloths. So often they would buy them large to be grown into the end. No gang or prison connections at all. Sure because of the area it became associated with that.

 

Loose pants are one thing

Belting your pants at or below your crotch instead of your waist is another thing entirely and doesn't look particularly comfortable. That's how people wear their sagging pants around here, although thankfully I don't see it very often anymore

 

People still do that? I thought that died with the 90s

 

Oh, that shit is very live and well still to this day! It's overseas too. I've seen it in Japan, Africa, Germany, Korea, ( ~sigh~ )
Losing my mind just thinking about it.

 

I understand what you are getting at, but it's the example and description that Meliai gave, that sets me off. These clowns actually wear the frickin belts, damn near all the way to there knees. Underwear all out and shit. If my dad were alive to see all this, and if I was a kid, he would beat my ass for even thinking about wanting to do that.

 

Hell, maybe I need to live out on the Westcoast then. I can confirm what you are saying and noticed the same thing here for a long time.

 

Can't argue with the weather, but the taxes are unreal. You can't even drive in the left lane without paying for it.

 

I'll stay here then. Don't like nobody screwing with my money like that.

 

I’ve got to take a leak
