"Ink pen" -- how many of you use that term?

I havent heard "Sweet milk" since I was a little runt: When Tennesseeans still had a distinctive Tennessee Southern accent.

I can't get my son to drink butter milk. I just finished a qart this week.

That's the one good thing about drinking it. You never know if it went sour on you. :lol:

In Kentucky, I once attempted to order "sweet milk". The waitress asked if I was looking for goat's milk.

Do you also say "Hot Water Heater" instead of "Water Heater"?

(Why would anyone heat HOT WATER??)

Like "Belly Navel". Where else do you have a navel?

When you leave a room, do you "cut out" the lights?

If so, you must be for the ol' North State and probably from the Piedmont or Triad area.

Even though I lived most of my life in South Florida my parents (and TW's) were from Tennessee so ink pen, straight pin, safety pin and bobby pin were all part of our vocabulary. Also, Mother would ask for "sweet milk" when we were little but by the time we were grown she was calling it buttermilk. I say "shut off the lights' and I have a hot water heater. I still call Miami "Miama" and that's how you can tell an "old time" Miami native. :lol:

????????? Sweetmilk and buttermilk are two different stages of milk. Buttermilk is made from sweetmilk.

What about it Tracy, fill us in.

I still say "hot water heater". I also eat out of a cereal "bo" and occasionally visit "Ohia."

I roll up my windas when it's raining. But thank God I've grown out of rollin' up winders and warshing and rinchin' the dishes.

I'm working on the others since I teach grammar.

True Story:

When I first started teaching 6th grade, I was hit in the face with my own accent.

I dictate a sentence on each spelling test that I give and the students are to write it as dictated.

Imagine my upbringing coming to light when I read these sentences on most students tests:

"Are father is taking us swimming on Saturday."

We had a Wed. night bible study teacher in Tuscaloosa who referred frequently to the Golden State, calling it "Califonia", minus the r. Very weird to the ear. My wife and I joked about it to each other, big hoot. One Wed. night, he talked about him and his wife going to "Chicargo", and leaned over and whispered to my wife, "THERE'S where that 'r' from Calfonia went." She fought laughter so hard, tears rolled.

My mother lived in Chicargo for about 10 years in the 1950's.

We drank "sweet milk" and "buttermilk" (love it), and "cut the lights off" when we went to bed.

We bought "loaf bread" if we could get somebody to "carry us to the store," where we always had a "cold drink" ("Coke-Cola," Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, "Pepsi-Cola," Orange Crush, Grapico, Double-Cola, Buffalo Rock or my personal favorite, Squirt).

Funny! I say "loaf bread", "carry", "cold drink" (that's how I refer to them).

You are right, that just shows you how tired I was when I posted. It has been a long and hectic week at work.

I meant to say that when we were little she would drink sweet milk and buttermilk but later in her life she would only drink buttermilk.

Now you know you can't just up and get somebody to carry you to the store and without going through the "fixin' to" stage. :lol:

i.e. "I'm fixin' to get somebody to carry me to the Piggly Wiggly to buy a cold drink." They probably put it in a "poke," too.

Anyone with a electric water heater, myself included, heats warm water all day long. That's the nature of the inefficient beast.
