Many claim (and rightfully so) that people in Texas have a language and attitude all their own. below are some of the words and their Texan pronouciations followed by the words all you others use.(typed out for all "yawl" who are hooked on phonics.)


arncha - inquiry concerning the addressee's plans. (aren't you)

brayke - to seperate into pieces by force/ adevice used to stop motion (1.break, 2. brake)

Would a Texan wear his coboy hat while surfing off the shores of California on his vacation?

[HUSKER'66]

Yes....a True Texan only takes his hat off for one thing.....no scratch that two things. I could tell you what they are, but then I'd have to take my bolo tie and choke one of your mangy animals. By the way, where is your chicken? /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

A texan in a bar says to the young, hot-looking waitress, "Kin ah have a piece a aahs?"

The waitress replies, "That is the crudest, most direct proposition I've ever had. But, your kind of cute, and my break is coming up, so why not?"

The texan and the waitress go to his room for a half hour of wild, monkey sex.

After returning to the bar, the Texan says, "That was really naahs, now kin ah have an aahs cube for my drink?"

I used that same line on a cocktail waitress at Breckenridge. Seemed to work there too. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif
