Quote: My Mom always said naut or aut for zero. We are not from the south, from Wyoming then to Washington. It is funny how you grow up hearing things like that and not think it unusual, until we all get to talking about it. I love this thread, have heard and most likely used most of these...

Quote: I dunno, I think it's common enough but I dunno if it's limited to the south. I always heard "aut" instead, without the n in front. As in a 30-06 rifle is 30 - aut 6 maybe that was it... Getting a bit old here.. My father has been dead for 25 years... some things just fade away..

my father when saying numbers...zero was naut.... has anyone ever heard of this? My father, bless his heart, only went to the 2nd grade, he was the 10th child of 12. He taught himself to read and write and he also wasn't bad with mathmatics. Self taught. The only thing is the zero .... I...

Quote: I love the South. After 20 years I'd never go back to NY. They'd make fun of me saying 'y'all' anyhow. I think the South has some wonderful, colorful sayings. Sure, the weather is hotter'n all heck but the pace is relaxed and it seems like the important things in life matter more -...
