Local/Regional Sayings

[animal_rescue]

hmm I don't know anything to hoosiery but I live on the "westside" aka rough part of town, even though it's not that bad, so I guess I could say I've learned some ghetto sayings.
Dip- running really really fast

Bust Down- someone that sleeps around

Nappy Hair- tangly hair

Aw Nawh- no way

and that's all I can think of right now

oh and here Pop is POP

I have done a little research into "Hoosier" dialect. As a child, I memorized poetry by James Whitcomb Riley!!!! My Mother knew many of his poems by heart and she taught me a few of them before I could even read.

"Little Orphan Annie" and "The Raggedy Man" are a few that I know by heart!!!!


I have a vast collection of his poems!!!!!
