I can cook some good white gravy. My grandmother says its better than hers. She taught me to cook all kinds of southern home cooking an we eat a good southern breakfast every day. I have never been a fan of brown breakfast gravy but I wish I new someone to teach me to make chocolate gravy.

I know clogged artery's will kill me but o freaking well.

lol - memories. Grandpa (from New York) once asked me (from Texas) if I had checked the 'earl' in my truck. I had absolutley no clue who Earl was and what was he doing in my truck. I miss Gramps.
We quite often had civil wars in my family. Mom and Dad are from New York (Queens and Brooklyn respectively), my sister and I were born here in Texas, but thanks to the military, spent 4 years in Hawaii (pigeon english anyone?)
When I got married, my H (no, not DH, now ExH) was from Arkansas. I have always tried to be accent-neutral, but considering all, is it any wonder why my kids had to go through speah therapy?

Fun thread - thanks for starting it.
(One the funeral cake, does it have to wait for a person to die, or can I make it because a fish or chicken or something died? I don't want to wait)

out of pocket

To me out of pocket means not close by or far from home not busy so its not any harder to say.​

Our like hour if at the beginning of a sentence, or stressed, as in "I think it was OUR fault." (This is a common statement.....)

Our like are when it's otherwise...... "We're gonna go to are house."

Our like screeching death gnarl when possessive, as in "You gave him OUR phone number????????"

Come on over, Ill cook.....



Now that I think about it...
"Im going to be out of pocket for a while."
And
"I got to go see a man about a dog."
Both mean I have to go and/or do something but dont you dare ask what.​

My grandmother used to say that someone had picked a hard row to hoe. It meant that someone had made a difficult choice that they were going to have stick through. Much to my surprise, I heard a anchor man(Don't know which one, now) say it recently.
