Thread "Hello there..." in forum "Meet, Greet, Show and Sell*"

Hi there,
My name is Bryan and I hail from Oklahoma. I just arrived on DD not too long ago. I was just dropping in to say hello and whatnot. I don't do the 'forum thing' too much, but I do tend to lurk.

Uh… yeah. So maybe I'll chat with ya'll (<– don't blame me, I've integrated too much into Oklahoma to NOT use it) later. :)

(edit: and apparently I can't figure out what signature code scheme ya'll use… off to the help topics!)
(edit, edit: AH HA! Eureka!)

Welcome to Drunk Duck Bryan. :)

And sadly I grew up in Wisconsin and now live in Florida, but for some reason I still throw out an occasional "ya'll" too. :P

Hi Bryan. I lived in Oklahoma for a few years during high school … back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Yeah… oddly Oklahoma is one of the few states (I believe) that has a musical named after it. Sad, but true.

The "ya'll" seems to always be prevalent in our 'linguistics safari' that can occur here, but the goofiest thing I've picked up (I've lived all over the midwest) is the innate ability to tell a 'red neck' when I see one and immediately pull off a PERFECT souther drawl that I would never utter otherwise. Otherwise, I never speak in a 'souther accent'… and I wouldn't do so on purpose.
