Slang?

When I was young we called words or phrases that painted a word picture in the mind ... slang. For a while c.b. radio users called it "slanguage." Church seminars called them "word pictures." Once it was hillbilly talk then it was redneck talk. Which one is politically correct? Call it what you may. I just say that them words is more fit to speak than the Queen's English or the crown she wears!

Why them words outta' fit just a swingin' loose like a possum in a tree and a hangin' like a jaw on a u.f.o. abduction! They outta' just come out natural like and make the speaker and the hearer more comfortable than grandpa's easy chair. If'n ya' hafta' think 'bout it .. jus' ain't no fun t'all.

Them words ya' use when ol' shakey tale git a bit o' yer hiney while pickin' blackberries don't count none. They's jus' words to exclam yer joy at the fact he didn't get ya' on the other side!

Sum words is like a ritty-ule. Like when yer go fishin' and yer say sumpin' like, "Fishy, fishy in a brook. It's a time you bite a hook!" 'fore yer drop the bayt in the water. Jes don't let yer buddies heer thet or they be laughin' till ya plumb jus' wanna' hide.

Broke my reeclyner the other day. Hafta' bring in a lawn cheer from the porch there or maybee that there wire spool and use it as a coghee tayble too! Cain't throw the cheer owt as it got da' butt creese jus' rite to fit my butt.

Reemenber ... fergit that there ee-nun-see-a-shun crap an' jus' speek it like yer knowed it!
