lol. The only "Texan" word I say is "ya'll", but that's actually a word. It's a conjunction for "you all" so if you can't say "ya'll" without being hick then you can't say "can't" or you're a hick

Re: Spurs Fans Community Off-Topic Thread
You don't say "ain't"?
I use to say it all the time, but I've toned down a little bit on it. It's stil part of my vocabulary though, so I'll probably be saying it forever. I definitely say yawl/ ya'll. I've gotten bagged for using that word before on message boards, but it's good to know fellow Texans have my back though.

I say ain't sometimes. It too is a word, but they we most people use it does't make sence cuz It means "Am I not".
I know how you feel about being bagged in message boards for saying ya'll. I just point out a word to them that say alot. Like canadians and thier love for "eh?"

Re: Spurs Fans Community Off-Topic Thread
Well, that would be true, except who says "you all"?
"Yonder" is from Middle English, true, but that doesn't mean it's not also characteristic of hicks.
Actually, in many ways, hicks retain more of Old and Middle English. For example, the trait of adding "a" as a prefix to make the past tense, as in "I been arunning". This is a direct descendant of the middle English trait of adding "y" as a prefix to make the past tense: as in the Canterbury Tales "the yonge sonne hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne" with "yronne" just being the past tense of run. This actually goes back even further to the Old English prefix "ge" (derived from German).

Re: Spurs Fans Community Off-Topic Thread
BTW, how about a non-basketball sports talk thread in here somewhere? A stickied one preferably. There seems to be a lot of interest for other sports and it would be fun to discuss them among our very own Spurs fans rather than a seperated forum with all kind of fans.
Just my two Euro cents..

Re: Spurs Fans Community Off-Topic Thread
I'm an American sports freak, so permission denied. Any non-US sports will be declined.
I'm just kidding of course. Since we have such a wide-range of fans from all over the world, a non-basketball sports thread would be fine, as long as I'm not expected to contribute anything. |

I don't think he actually meant just sports from over seas. I think he meant any sports besides the NBA, like the MLS and NFL.

Re: Spurs Fans Community Off-Topic Thread
I say ya'll all the time. What else is there to say? You all takes one more syllable of effort!  Seriously though, I can't think of any other word(s) that is(are) as effective as ya'll.
I have never said ain't though. I just go with the usual "I'm not." | |
