Gullah is the most stupid loud bird that comes around and wakes you up it does its own thing with no regard for anyone else, they also copy what you say they are mimics like a cocky except they are grey and pink.

Sort of on par with many young fellas actions and brain activity.

Here in Butte, everybody uses 'pop' for soda.

Funny the different uses in English language.
Pop is short for grandpop here.
We just call it by its brand name, coke pepsi sprite.
lolly water can be a collective term but its not used much.
You guys say candy for lollies, but out here candy is only like a hard rock sweet.

Down here people say "makin' groceries" instead of 'going shopping' or to the store. When you order at a restaurant ask for 'a lil lagniappe'. They don't call it a county, it's a 'Parish'. I don't think I've ever heard pop or soda, but instead 'cold drank'. There are tons really.

There was an interview in the Sunday paper, the former governor explaining 'Montana-speak' to a newspaper writer. He mentioned 'coulee' and 'crick' (not 'creek').
A 'coulee' would be an arroyo in Arizona.

Basically a little something extra. People drop it all the time, in tipping, a longer pour on a drink, "thats just for lagniappe". I'm not exactly Mr. clear speak myself but when I first heard it I was WTF Thought it was a fish or cajun pasta dish. Nothing here is pronounced like it is spelled..'lan-yap'. Strange place when you're coming from the outside, even California .

That's the same as the UK we call soda - pop also.

Some people who claim benefits refer to it as getting paid. I in turn refer to these people as cunts.

Bristolian is truly awful for this sort of thing. My main gripes are the use of L's on the end of words where they never existed.

Window = Win dull
Idea = Eye dill
