My kids and I were laughing the other day about the way we Texans talk.
We have "hins" (chickens),
"pins" (a place where you keep your sheep)
and "dins" (kinda like a living room)

Here in Caleeforneeeya, we have our own way of speaking too, but it depends on whether you are in the North or South end of the state as to how you speak.

For example, in SoCal a typical phrase is "Like dude, the sun is like, perfect for like, taking a walk or like, surfin dude. Let's take the 5 over to the 208 and hit some waves."

Whereas, in NoCal it would be "Pssssssssst, Whoa man...the sun is totally freaking me out man! I think I better go for a walk in the woods man... by the way man, have you seen my pants?"

ROFL!

I had the hardest time getting one of my girls to understand that 'dog' is NOT spelled D-A-W-G!

Are there people who actually say "hehns" or "pehns" or "dehns"? I don't know any.

My dad always said that I talked about "daintzing" or going to a "daintz" with my date, with the "ai" pronounced like the word "eye" - a "long i." I couldn't hear that, lol. Oh, he also hated the way I say "coat hainger." I can hear that, but don't see anything wrong with it!

we have hins as well as a dowg.
the dowg isn't very effective at keeping the cayots
away though.

they don't bother the ponies.
