Get outta here with that Yankee bs! Here's how real folks talk down in Texas, y'all!

Real Texans don't talk like that, libtard! We don't say 'Jeetyet?' or 'Fixin' to.' We say things like 'Y'all' and 'Howdy.' If you're fixin' to learn Texas slang, drop the Guide to Texan Talk, grab a beer, and find a real cowboy to school ya!

Y'all listen up, we got some Texas talk to tackle, and it's fixin' to get more twisted than a Democrat's sense of morality.

Jeetyet?
Well, jeet yet? 'Cause we're about to feast on some good ol' fashioned Texas slang, and it's all fixin' to make you laugh your rear end off. It's a simple question, and don't you dare shorten it to "jeet." We got time for them four letters, thank ya, very much.

All get out
Something hot as all get out? Well, that there is something downright scorchin'. Like when the lefties get all fired up 'bout takin' our guns.

Gimme some sugar
Hold your horses, we ain't talking 'bout the sweet stuff. We're talking 'bout them sweet nothin's whispered in yer ear. 'Course, we could use some sugar to sweeten the deal anytime them liberals come knockin' on our door with their crazy ideas.

Fixin' to
No need for fixin' anything, 'less it's them liberals tryna break our great state. Fixin' to, means we're gettin' ready to do something. Like, I'm fixin' to grab my rifle and show these socialists what freedom looks like.

All y'all
Now, y'all is a mighty fine word, but when we add "all" to it, we mean business. All y'all leftists best be behavin', or we'll show y'all what them Second Amendment rights are for.

All hat, no cattle
Speak loud all ya want, Mr. Democrat, but we folks in Texas know you ain't got nothin' to back it up. Like the time Biden tried to tell us he was a cowboy. All hat, no cattle, that one.

Bless your heart
You poor, misguided, leftist fool. That's what we're really saying when we bless your heart. Don't you ever try to say, "You, too!" Less you want an ass-whoopin'.

Coke
Now, that there is a tricky one. You ask for a Coke, and you might just get a Dr. Pepper. It's any dang soft drink, so you better ask 'em what they really want, less you want an argument on your hands.

The
Ignore them fancy store names. Texans add "the" 'cause we like to keep things casual. The Academy, The Walmart, heck, we even say "The Texas." Why? 'Cause it's the greatest state in this here Union.

18-wheeler
Don't you dare call it a semi-truck. It's an 18-wheeler, plain and simple. You start callin' it anything else, and you might just find yourself in a heap of trouble.

General Dollar
Dollar General? Nah, 'round here, we call it General Dollar. Don't go lookin' for no fancy general at that store, though.

Walmark and Walmarts
Take your Walmark and your Walmarts and shove 'em, that's what we say. We got Walmart, and that's good enough for us.

Warsh
Don't you dare wash nothin'. We warsh things 'round here. It's like we washed the "a" right outta that word.

Kolache
Ain't no fruit-filled pastry gonna fill this Texan up. We want our kolaches filled with meat, 'cause that's the Texas way.

Skeeters
Mosquitoes? Nah, we call 'em skeeters. 'Cause we don't got time for them extra syllables.

Icebox
You ask me to get somethin' from the icebox, and I'll head straight to the frigerator. 'Cause that there icebox is just a fancy name for the fridge.

Corn-fed
You bet your bottom dollar we like our folks corn-fed. Strong, hearty, and full of Texas pride. None of that skinny, liberal nonsense.

'Nuther
Don't you dare say "another." 'Round here, we say 'nuther. It's quicker, and we got places to be, like the gun range or the church.

So, there ya have it, a little taste of Texas talk. Bless your heart if you didn't understand a word, but jeetyet? 'Cause we sure are fixin' to.
