Hello everyone, it's Laurel again!

Today, I want to talk about some common words or phrases from the South.

There are many colorful phrases we use there, and I want to share some of my favorites and the most common.

First, there is "Y'all." It means, "You all," or "everyone." It's used almost all the time, and in my daily life, I use it daily!

Next, we usually say Sir or Ma'am when talking to someone. 'Sir' is used for men, while 'Ma'am' is used for women. It's very common to say and hear in the South, and shows that you have a lot of respect for the person you are speaking to. We also like to use a lot of phrases and metaphors in our daily speech, such as, "Hold your horses," "Once in a blue moon," or "As nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs."

There are many, many more, of course, and they're all quite common. And, once you get used to using them, they're quite fun to use, too! Thank you for reading! For now, I'll catch y'all later. See you next time!
