[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 109619, member: 87"] Quote: OK, who says kitty corner, who says caddy corner? I say kitty corner. Quote: Is it a porch or a stoop? It's a porch. Quote: Is it "over there", "yonder", "up the road a piece", or "over by dere?" It's over there. "" Quote: Do you sit for awhile or for a spell? COme to think of it, do you sit at all, or do you set? I don't use either expression. Quote: Do you say yes, yeah, yep, ayuh, uh-huh, sure, affirmative, aye-aye cap'n? Varies: yes, yeah, uh-huh, okie dokie, and correct. About the supper/dinner thing. When I was growing up, we had "supper" at 5 pm. I thought "dinner" sounded more sophisticated, so when I got married, I called it "dinner." LOL Here's another strange thing. Sometimes we say "huh" at the end of a sentence to get a person to agree with us. i.e., "it sure is cold out, huh?" My sister-in-law ends practically every sentence with "enna hey" (she lives by Lake Michigan). My grandma used to end nearly every sentence she said to my grandpa with, "Ain't that so, Joe?" sue [/QUOTE]
